While I was pleased at the plot and how they somewhat started on track with Stephen King's masterpiece book fairly well, I thought that some of the actors and actresses chosen were poor based on how the book had written them. For instance, the actress playing Holly Gibney from the book does not accurately portray the character from The Outsider or from The Watchman trilogy. Holly was shy, soft spoken, unique, loyal to her few friends, and very clearly on the autism spectrum with servant tendencies that she never bragged about. She had difficulty in ANY social situation and rarely had contact with anyone if she didn't have to, because she was too nervous and socially awkward. This actress bragged about her vast array of knowledge, described her abilities as "unexplained," drank alcohol, and was better socially than she should have been. Those who have read any of the 4 books with her as a character know that Holly doesn't drink (she has, but she doesn't want to mix it with her antidepressants). They could have either chosen a better actress or written her better. Something is way off.

All negative aside, I'm enjoying it thus far. I am always excited when anything of Stephen King's gets adapted into a movie or television series.
