If you read The Outsider, you know what a great story it was. A crime story that spins into the supernatural as only Steven King can do. Having read the book, there's no reason to watch this quagmire. They stay on the story through episodes 1,2 then veer off into someones ridiculous adaptation starting with episode 3. The whole thing from episode 3 on is full of new characters and scenarios that are only there for shock value. The huge omissions of plot lines and characters are ridiculous. Much like Under The Dome, this story becomes a dumb, messy show filled with bus crashes, prison murders, police shootings and character actions that are all totally unnecessary. The book doesn't need all this extemporaneous nonsense and the series shouldn't either.

Don't watmste your time, read the book.
