I've almost finished watching it and so far quite like it !
My preview of the series is now available at News from the Dead Zone
Just like the book, it will appeal more to the women rather than the men. Love Story / Chick Flick.
Women 8/10 - Men 3/10
The second episode just made me want to self-harm.
The Easter Eggs are not too good.
Spoiler: 06-04-2021 10:04 AMRandall FlaggAccording to the Charlie The Choo Choo handed out at the SDCC, the book is copyrighted 1942. 06-04-2021 10:40 AMjon10gThe Guardian in the UK don’t like it.

This is a very personal story
A very visual story
It's therefore slow paced and not everybody is going to like it. But I thought that it is a very good adaptation.
People that liked the book are likely to really love that series.
Fans that struggled to read the book and even quitted (there are quite a few that did that) may find easier to watch a series to rediscover the story, even if doing something else at the same time. Even though that would diminish the power of the story. 06-04-2021 12:32 PMRandall FlaggIt received a poor review in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Pay attention to the easter egg. (Clue: "Empty devils" book cover) ;-)

King is plugging this series everywhere, but he needs to stop trying to polish the turd. 06-18-2021 08:25 AMmattgreenbeanThe more the critics dislike it, the better the chances are that I'll like it.
Hopefully it'll make it to blu-ray at some point so I can watch it. 06-18-2021 11:22 AMGarrellWatched first 2 episodes so far...feel like I am reading this all over again. The pain.
My wife hates it so far...
I will say that the acting is great and the cinematography is nice also. 06-18-2021 11:47 AMICry4Oy
