This series has an amazing atmosphere and truly reflects the book. There's an excellent acting especially by Ben Mendelssohn ( Ralph ) and Julianne Nicholson ( Glory ). This is a sci-fi/ ghost horror story so Stephen King fans won't be disappointed. If you expect a true detective crime- this is not for you. The only reason I'm giving it 8 stars and not 10 is the horrible new Holly Gibney ( Cynthia Erivo ). She just ruined it for me. The Holly character from books was weird and OTC but also very kind, shy and did not have much self esteem. Erivo's playing doesn't reflect that whatsoever. I so much prefer the old Holly ( Justine Lupe ) from AT&T Mr Mercedes series. But overall it is a great series and really worth the watch.
