Anybody watched it? Any good? The reviews seem quite good and it's a great premise for a series. The book was OK if not Stephen King's best by a long shot.
 
No Idea. I hope this helps

I stopped reading Kings books when I was about 14 as they just somehow not only seemed like every one was a script for an upcoming film but its not really 'horror'.
 
I have been watching it since it started. It hasn't really grabbed me by the nuts, but it isn't so crappy that I stop watching it either. Besides, what else am I going to do on a Monday night when it isn't football season? :tongue:

I liked the book quite a lot. This TV version is changing things up a whole bunch though, they are only keeping the most basic plot points intact.
 
Yeah, it makes sense that they've changed it. I was reading an interview with Stephen King today and he was saying they changed loads to allow it to develop into a multi-season arc, otherwise it would be too short. They've renewed it for a second season and King is writing the first episode. I'll probably take a look.
 
Huh, I didn't realize they were going to stretch it out like that.

That explains why Angie is still alive, instead of mouldering in the pantry like she would be if they were following the book...
 
We've been watching it, but I get so tired of seemingly needless changes from the book.
I hadn't realized they were trying to go more than one season.
 
that show is beyond terrible.

godawful acting

horrible script

it is just bad. i made it 45 mins into the 2nd epidode just waiting for a glimmer of hope. its really terrible.
 
It's not so bad, I dont watch the boob tube much. I like mr King and have been reading his books forever, some are really good some......meh
The red head on the t.v. show is very attractive
 
Wife and I have been watching it. I'm with Tiger roach on this one, it hasn't really grabbed me by the nads, but it is on TV and not some crap fake reality show, so I give it a chance. It has been a bit slow at times, but it is still better than everything else in that time slot.

I haven't watched last nights episode yet. I was mildly intrigued by the promos so I started watching from the beginning. It's ok, not great, not awful. I'm disapponted to learn that they are going to stretch it beyond a single season. This sounds like a recipe for disaster. The inevitable filler episodes are going to turn viewers away, the ratings will drop, and the network will end up either cancelling it prematurely without any plot resolution, or they will rush together a half assed partial resolution that leaves viewers flat.

The current trend in network tv has backed this up. It seems like every time I get into a show, this scenario plays out one way or other.

There have been a few new shows in the last couple of years that looked really interesting, but I didn't watch them because I was sure that this would happen. So far, I have been right every time.

Now, if someone puts together a production company that uses crowd sourced funding to "resolve" such shows either by made for tv movies, or mini series, that would be awesome.

We could finally find out what "The Event" was, we could resolve "Flash Forward", "Alcatraz", "Terra Nova"... the list is endless. I'd pony up a few bucks to see these stories get resolved.

Yeah, I never watch anything till it gets a second season but that still leaves you with the occasional duffer like Heroes.
