Yeah, I thought the Part One was really good. Especially given that I grew up watching the FIRST IT on vhs back was a kid and had been a fan of the book. But when the Part Two caught so much flack I just didn't bother. King adaptations are so hit and miss I usually pass on them by default nowadays. Dark Tower traumatized me and The Dome was a total bait and switch.

It honestly surprised me that Green Mile and Shawshank were Stephen king works. Those movies I'm positive gotta be better than the books I wonder. Hold on the dome? You mean that series under the dome? I didn't finish it what happened

Ah, Under the Dome, yeah. So my memory is a bit fuzzy. It wasn't too great to begin with, but at least it kept to the book in the beginning. It was announced as a one season miniseries, but then right around the time they announced a second season things started wildly shifting away from the original plot and the whole thing went off the rails. I never went back for the second season. I hear it just kept getting worse and worse until it got canceled after season 4.
