La historia de Lisey

Exactly like the book. Same drawn out story where you turn the page and realize you were accidentally mentally constructing your grocery list and have to turn back and reread a page or two.

I really wanted to like the book. I really wanted to like this series. But this book/series taught me that an author can get so big, so famous, that anything he puts out is treated with respect. Even when it doesn't deserve it.

The acting, the mood, the music, the locations are all quality. But the story is not.

Watched both episodes available now and I will say it's weird. I like weird and it's definitely weird! If you don't kind of pay attention you might start to get a little lost. Lisey or Lisa, which is her real first name, starts sifting through her memories of her late husband as she finds clues he left behind that he wanted her to find after his death....this is not a spoiler as it's in the preview that he died. She has memories of these weird things but does not seem quite fazed by them. At the same time, her older sister has some issues that connect her to Lisey's husband. Another side story involves someone trying to get her late husband's unpublished manuscripts. So there is a lot going on. It's not necessarily confusing if you pay attention. After the second episode and I can already see how some things are connected, but some people may just be super confused and rate this very low. I won't rate it low yet because it kept my attention and had some intriguing aspects. So I am interested in how this weird, sometimes off the wall, story unfolds.

Well-acted and very pretty to look at. After the watching the first episode I'm definitely curious to see where the story is going, however, constantly jumping between different times and visions can be a little confusing.

We'll see how it turns out. But right now the story is a bit of a mess. Too many montage gimmicks does not a narrative make. The tension is there so that promising but it does feel a bit over done since you're not entirely sure what's going on. Moore might be over acting just a bit. Let's see if the story gels.

DeHaan is the real star so far. He's absolutely anchoring the drama. Not sure I'd keep watching if it wasn't for him. Joan Allen also is completely transformed.

I don't get the negative reviews here. The series kept me engaged and is very well done! Cast is great.

Story is typical S. King.

Is a bit dark and has that mystical/magic component of S. King novels which I enjoy.

Last episodes get better. Should definitely have a better rating here.

I have been drawn to reviews here of 7/8 rating and then those shows are crap.

Probably one of the best shows on Apple Tv at the moment.
