Rebecca M @McBecky Jan 30 I didn’t expect to enjoy this, but I binged it over 2 days. It’s not perfect by any means and needed a larger budget, but it’s very intriguing and the pace is perfect. Ben Barnes is also a very strong lead, as is the young boy playing Luke. I hear season 2 has been announced and I look forward to watching that too.

My major gripe with it was that it looked cheap, it could have done with a lot more pizazz on the sets, especially the labs and Back Half, that felt a lot more '90s TV than the book implied.

It has nothing to do with the original story, except names and the general idea were stolen from it. It leaves me incomparably puzzled how the writers manged to turn King's story about the emotional world of children, their empowerment, their friendship and caring natures and the heroic actions of Avery and Luke into this utterly adultist, sexist crap doing everything possible to bend the plot into a celebration of some police rescueing a clueless boy. Oh, of course all the kids were turned teenagers, because probably the authors were afraid they wouldn't get away with sexualising 1 year-olds like they do, and I guess dumb hormone-driven ruffians with a flat character are easier to digest by a dumb audience than the smart, emotional, vulnerable and complex young humans Stephen King created. If there ever is a season 2, it better have a different title. See more Vlad S @uladz Jan 8 Never seen worse casting. Acting is awful, not a single good actor here. Direction, sound and visual production, everything is at the level of a school level pet project. Jeez, I want my time back. Don't watch, it's utter cr@p show, not worth your time. Better watch The Outsider if you want something based King's work but actually good. See more Read all reviews
