Well it started off well enough and then someone somewhere decided it would be a great idea to try and rewrite Stephen King. The show strays further and further away from what was written to the point that towards the end, it just barely resembles the story line King designed. On top of all of that, there's also the fact that nearly every interaction any of the characters had with the outsider have been basically ommited in every way thus killing some great opportunities for the thrills and chills that are so desperately lacking in this show. Furthermore Holly has been reduced to a makeshift rainman kind of character that's so socially inept she's nearly unwatchable. I'm not shocked. Just disappointed given the seemingly positive reviews that have been given.

I'm conclusion, I'm sure it's fine... so long as you haven't read the book.
