07/02/2021 It felt like a King's novel, expect it's actually good when made into a TV series. It's quite amazing how good it is with the budget it has. It's confusing at the beginning due to two storylines developing together, even with different perspectives. Not too much twist but hey, it's fun, what else could you ask for?
