What to Know

Critics Consensus

Golden Years drifts between dull execution and flashes of character-driven charm, with a strong cast and moments of intrigue undermined by slow pacing, pedestrian direction, and a lack of Stephen King's usual thrills.

Ed Siegel Boston Globe Apr 23
Director Ken Fink has no nightmares in his bones. The cinematography is utterly prosaic, bathing everything in bright lights or dingy darkness. The acting, too, is by the numbers. Keith Szarabajka and Frances Sternhagen try, but don't get very far. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Apr 23
"Golden Years" is evidence anew that King needn't be terrifying to be good. Very, very good, in fact. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune Apr 23
King is among the best at infusing stories with terrors that fit neatly and plausibly into contemporary life. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Miami Herald Apr 23
This uninvolving show is chilly, not chilling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
