The first few episodes are great. A classic murder mystery with a twist. But I have to admit, even though I knew it was from Stephen King, that the whole paranormal part really was not that good for the plot development in this series. It starts to go downhill from there and gets a bit tedious even about halfway. But once you are acclimatised to the paranormal "El Cuco" thing and just forget about the fact that you are not getting a realistic murder mystery, it is still quite watchable. But in these times, when thousands of shows are being put out every year, being watchable just does not cut it anymore. But then come the last two episodes; they manage to save the show for me. You can actually relate to almost all characters even though you did not really get to know them that well throughout the series. You have a lot of supporting cast that does really well, especially in these last episodes. If it was not for these last two episodes and the accompanying satisfying ending (not satisfying meant as in "end good all good", but won't spoil it for you) I would have given it a 6-7 out of 10 but the overall definitely deserves an 8! If you are a casual series watcher and enjoy the genre, this is definitely one to watch, but do not expect a masterpiece in storytelling.
