Lisey's Story

Very nice cast.

More than a little frightening. The overtly dark characters come off as one-note... the potential for subtlety is lost. I know how brilliant King is, and I realize that it was important for him to write the televised script... but I'm not sure if he had a say in the actors' interpretations.

On the whole, this feels like it will be unnecessarily drawn out--this is my prediction, after 1 episode. If it was a movie, I would have watched all of it.

"Awww, give it a chance", you say.

I gave it a chance. I've had enough.

Beautiful, very artistic shots aaaaand that's it. There's nothing more, not a single person you can relate to or just plain like. Don't get me wrong - this have everything I love but it still managed to bored as hell. It's just pretty blown egg.

I really wasn't going to watch this after reading all the sledgehammer negative reviews. I took a chance and wasn't disappointed with this series.

Yes it's slow, yes the subject matter is disturbing. Many aren't comfortable with subjects like self harm and, death and abuse.

As a counsellor these sort of things are an everyday subject. I found the whole series to be extremely compelling.

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.

Watching this series is like being slowly tortured each week. It has got to be the slowest, most boring, and ridiculous show I've ever watched. Yet, I foolishly keep watching because I guess I'm a glutton for punishment and the potential is there for what could have been a unique series, but they are so far from the mark, it's just never gonna happen.
