I wasn't going to write a review, but after seeing the majority of people giving this 5 stars or less, I felt like I had to. Preface - I am not an avid reader of King's books, but I appreciate the films I have seen. This show was well written, acted, and had really beautiful cinematic moments. And yes - it's confusing, but it all gets explained in episode 9 and 10. Now, if you're not a fan of mystery or supernatural-ish/alternate realities, this is not for you. And if you want an answer to something right away, forget it. In my opinion, I disagree with those stating that it's poorly paced, slow, boring and written badly. There is a reason why the show flows the way it does. It kept my attention the entire time, so much so, that I didn't ever look at my phone (that's saying a lot).
I cannot say more after two episodes but good atmosphere is quite observable after even 10 minutes. I am optimistic for the future of the series.
For the guys said it is boring i have to put two points in the table:
1)In the first episodes we need to see the world of the series..so a slower plot is needed in order to set all the characters up
2)Too early to say anything.5 episodes have been released.
PS:My advice to those who find it boring..Try reading IT, or The Shining the plot goes in the same speed but I never heard somoeine complaining about them Just be patient.

Stephen King isn't my favourite kind of writer, even for adaptations, however one could expect original material by him to have at least some kind of recognizable, coherent structure. This feels distinctly different even to someone with only passing knowledge of Stephen King stories, as it is clearly not an original.
This series is full of a sense brooding and doom, however without any coherence or anything to justify one's interest, instead it does what is the norm nowadays in TV writing: it simply assumes one's interest, takes it for granted, because watching stuff is practically a civil duty nowadays. What one is fed then is merely a pastiche of vague thematic references to Stephen King stories.
Aside from lacking any hooks, and generally a sense of believability, it also has these little signs of inferior writing: when a prison guard walks around in the semi-dark with a drawn gun, while the alarm is blaring, a colleague silently creeps up on him from behind to touch him on the shoulder, and because this moment of "surprise" formally ends the clichéd moment of fake-tension, it is supposedly the fault of the guard with the gun when he reacts hostilely, rather than the idiot's for not announcing himself (or saying the other's name) like an intelligent human being. People behave as demanded by the structure, not by any sort of logic or realism. This sense of banality defines all the proceedings and characters.

Well, I have to start saying that I enjoyed season one pretty much. The first thing I want to give credits for is Bill Skarsgård. He is proving one more time that he is an excellent actor and he does amazing in horror/thriller movies/tv shows. I will keep watching everything he does. Second thing...Stephen King has an amazing mind and creativity. I love watching everything related to him. The story is unique, has a very dark ton and is very engaging. I enjoyed very much!
Season two hasnt done the same to me. I guess I was expecting a more realistic story and...well, I'll try one more time.

The recently dissolved rundown town of Castle Rock, Maine is controlled by the Shawshank State Prison. It's the town's main employer. The warden commits suicide and the new warden Porter reopens an abandoned wing of the prison. Guard Dennis Zalewski finds a mystery prisoner (Bill Skarsgård) locked in a bunker who refuses to give his name and only says Henry Matthew Deaver. Henry Matthew Deaver (André Holland) is a defense lawyer in Texas. He returns to Castle Rock after Dennis calls him and takes up the mystery boy's case. His adoptive mother Ruth Deaver (Sissy Spacek) suffers from dementia and he's wrongly suspected in the death of his adoptive father. Alan Pangborn (Scott Glenn) is the former sheriff who has been living with Ruth. Henry's childhood neighbor friend Molly Strand (Melanie Lynskey) suffers from her own mental issues and takes illicit drugs to alleviate the symptoms. She intents on using her inheritance to renew the town. In the second season, nurse Annie Wilkes (Lizzy Caplan) is on the run with her daughter Joy (Elsie Fisher) and they arrive in Castle Rock. Pop Merrill (Tim Robbins) is the head of his crime family and adoptive father to Somali siblings, Abdi Omar and Dr. Nadia Omar.
This is an intriguing series especially for Stephen King fans who recognize various Easter eggs scattered all around town. The first season creates a nice murkiness which permeates this town and this series. The narrative gets a bit muddy. I would prefer a clearer story telling but it is intriguing nevertheless. The second season comes with a whole new story. It's an anthology series and I really like Lizzy Caplan's Annie Wilkes. Overall, it's one of the better TV series in the Stephen King world and fully supports his darker sensibilities. As with many shows nowadays, it's canceled after two seasons for whatever reason. This is a show that could have mined the King library for more stories.
