I forgot about this until I saw it scroll across the firestick home screen. Watching now and as these 2 kids chasing Harold on his bike. I'm thinking how he on a bike letting a nikka keep up with him on feet? As I'm thinking that, Harold takes a glance behind him a calls dude a T-1000

Starting off with Zone clean up is different. Harold not starting off as a fat kid in this one. Fran doesn't look college aged in this so far either. Curious to see other changes. I'm only 6 minutes in.

It’s definetely one of if not his best. They gonna fukk this up though. The book is a masterpiece and they not gonna do it justice.

Yea the last episode was a step down for me. The only way to tell King's story right is HBO. The pacing of this still feels like TV to me and some of these scenes leave me yelling b/c they didnt go all the way. I'm not sure how many episodes this is but it seems like the pacing is way too fast.

It just needed a better showrunner/ writing staff. The network/streaming service doesn't really matter

I loved the last episode. Tom Cullen really is the best character.

 

[NatiboyB]

Really disappointed in this one expected a more detailed remake

Episode 8 felt rushed but I figured that must be because it's the finale. But I just saw there's a whole episode left... What's left to do besides for Stu to return and for Frannie to give birth?

Could’ve done without that 5 minute montage of them walking to Vegas just playing music and showing the landscape lol

they really let CBS go all in with the chick calling Tom a retard like 100 times sheesh

all of Tom’s scenes make me nervous. Ain’t no way I would’ve voted to send him out there.

I peeped Steven King on that poster at the bus stop lol random AF

I kept calling Stu the wrong name since I watched Westworld. He played damn near the same character.

fukk Harold. That’s that entitled white male incel shyt.

This was disappointing. Outside of Mother A and Tom Cullen, the rest of the characters just didn't have enough there. I hated the jump-arounds in the first couple of episodes. And now they're really gonna spend an entire episode of Stu getting back home?

1994 TV miniseries is better.

 

[Big Dick]

Can someone get a gif of Flaggs ridiculous dance

 

[Hoshi_Toshi]

Well that ending episode was disappointing.

A King story with a disappointing ending? That's new. Most of King's stories dont deserve faithful adaptions because they work better when someone else throws their spin on it.

See the Shining and Dr Sleep.
