This has been said a lot. Everyones entitled tot heir opinion, but remember, in investigative dramas, the clues are supposed to be just as important and exciting to look for.
Was it the possessed guy in the car intending to kill the detective that gave it away?
I enjoyed all the mystery of the first half of the book revolving around Maitland much more than the second half. For some reason the show boiled that down to two episodes and has spent more time on what I thought was less compelling.
I am sticking with it but this past episode was pretty boring. I wish they would have just followed the book to the letter. The pacing was much better IMOKevrunner said:
I thought the middle of the book dragged when they stopped bouncing around interviewing people and it got more linear with Holly doing her thing.
If you're not into the supernatural aspect of this, it's really easy to have this impression of the show. It's understandable because those Bateman episodes set it up as a different kind of show, IMO, especially if you didn't know it was based on a King book.
100% correct. My wife and I have really enjoyed this and we embrace the entire supernatural story. It is Stephen King. If you like King you like this. If you are not into fantasy/supernatural you checked out a while ago.
My wife and I are still enjoying it even though we really liked the first episode and mistakenly thought it was a whodunnit crime drama. I hadn’t read the book so the supernatural twist surprised us a bit (although it shouldn’t have too much b/c it’s King). Didn’t dissuade us at all though even if I think the best episode is still the first one.
I’m worried that the shots and stuff wind up being a Glenn under the dumpster sort of scene.
Of course it was the sorry dude who wasn’t going to come and showed up late. He should have listened to his gut.
I'm into the supernatural stuff and after a strong start have found the show to be really drawn out and average at best. It's been a struggle for me to get through the last 4 or 5 episodes. The writing and acting needs improvement. I was hoping for True Detective and got Walking Dead.
Welp...tonight is the finale. Hope it’s good. I don’t disagree the show lost some major steam. The first few episodes were outstanding. The rest has been ok. I like the story. Let’s see how it ends tonight.
That’s a looooong post.
