Anybody else watching this? It kind of reminds me of "True Detective" but with a supernatural undertone to it. Not surprising, because it's based on a Stephen King work. Anyway, I've thought the first two episodes were really good.This message has been edited. Last edited by: BMR,

I watched the first two episodes and was intrigued as well. Being it is written by King, I wondered where it would go. After reading more about it and the book it is based from, it seems it ties in to a couple of other Stephen King books he wrote. I like some of his books but this one, is kind of ehh.
The Wife and I just watched all nine available episodes this past week and I think it’s a really great show. We’ve both enjoyed the writing and the acting. Looking forward to the season finale.
Wife read an article last night that said this was originally thought as a mini series but the reviews and audience has been so big it’s going for a second season.

I read the book after starting the HBO series. Just finished the book and the series will end next Sunday. Prefer the book, but that's usually the case. The show carefully follows the book first 2-3 episodes, then diverged pretty far, but has come back for the final few episodes, which is a good thing.
Very clever premise.
