Stephen King wrote some great books but also a lot of dross too. This one is something I have never read but the adaptation was very good and worked well for TV.

Ben Mendelsohn's Ralph is an interesting character as too is Cynthia Erivo's Holly who steals the show. Honourable mentions go to Paddy Considine and his Claude character and Marc Menchaca for a great performance as the tormented Jack. Some very good actors play lesser roles and overall the acting was excellent throughout.

The writing was at times slow paced but it never lost sight of ball and was taut and crisp over the 10 episodes. It fumbled at the end and Ep:10 was a bit like GOT with a rather unsatisfying ending. 10 started out with an horrific shoot out and some great acting as El Cuco was finally tracked down but his last scenes left the watcher wanting more from that and sadly it came up short.

It's not worth beating up what was a great TV series over it's last 20 minutes so I would recommend it as a good binge watch and who knows they may get a franchise out of this as well.
