Considering people involved (from Mr. King to cast, cinematographer, editor and so on), this is a very good show with truly outstanding performances of Mr. Mendelsonn (Ralph), Ms. Erivo (Holly) and Mr. Menchaca (Jack). A well written story (by the master storyteller and one of the greatest author US ever had), however, could be slightly better executed: 9 episodes would do. 10th is a "surplus" of fillers for time and series scope gaining, mostly idling. I would not be mistaken comparing this with "lost" True Detective season that could very well replace 2nd and 3rd fails and be a worthy successor to the first season masterpiece. Mainly slowly paced - yes, but that's the point in this case. Recommended.
