Perhaps I need to go back to reading his works instead of trying to watch adaptations of them, because evidently they are just too slow paced, not interesting, and they just drag out their crud for no reason. The characters are dumb in this show, its yet naother crummy hbo show that wastes time instead of doing anything worthwhile, and Stphen Kings obsession with his quasi grasp of the supernatural, aka mental powers like the shining which are present in one form or another in 9 out of ten of his works, its played out and lackluster here. ONe of kings worst tv shows if not the worst so far. HBO...I want a refund.
