Stephen King Not the best adaptation of his best stories. But about each series separately. Fortunately, they are not all equally good and bad. Almost all the series are drawn only by the actors who played the main roles.
First episode
Battleground/
The Battlefield. Before watching, I heard that this is the best series of the whole series. Yes, if this is the best, what awaited me? But it's not that scary. The first thing to worry about is that none of the characters ever speak. Like a silent movie. I started to suspect that all the series were like this. But it wasn't. The silence did not spoil the mini-screening.
Since I did not read these stories, I decided to read them before viewing. I only did that with the first series. And then, only after watching. As always, the writer and director lied, added their own, but the general meaning left the same.
To be honest, the film is full of all sorts of absurdities and petty stupidities. I had no idea what was difficult: to deal with a toy collection of military soldiers suddenly revived. But after reading the story, I doubted it a little.
William Hart pulls out the whole movie, definitely.
In general, the series looks in one breath. And I agree, she's the best.

Second episode
Crouch End/
Crouch End. The most miserable and the most disgusting, the most boring of all. The plot is beaten and stamped. But I have never seen such a miserable realization. Before us is a mystical town, absorbing its new inhabitants. Neither the atmosphere of a lost city, nor the intimidation of the locals, nor pathetic special effects like a one-eyed cat or monkey people – there is nothing.
Even invited to perform the main roles of Claire Forlani and Ion Bailey look so wooden that you do not believe that they once starred in such good and well-known films.
I finished my reading and decided to look at it this way. Because comparing with the original paper was a poor thing.

Umney's Last Case/
Amney's Last Case The series is completely reminiscent of the film “Thirteenth Floor”. Anyone who's been watching will understand. Realization in this film is not so poor. That's why you can watch.
I'm going to play William Macy well.

The End of the Whole Mess/
The End of the Horror It's the only series that looks like a binge. I really want to know how this story ended. The story begins with the finale of the film. And then there are flashbacks of the film. The story is original and unobtrusive. A genius boy who wanted to change the world for the better, but received a completely different result.

The Road Virus Heads North/
The Road Virus Heads North A banal mystical thriller about a maniac who pursues gs because of their certain connectedness. No fish or meat. You can see it. And again, the whole series is on Mr. Tom Benanger. 4 out of 10.
The Fifth Quarter/
The Fifth Quarter. The series is neither mystical nor terrible. A banal crime thriller about bad guys who spent time in prison, robbed a bank and hid money. It's like Treasure Island. I liked the series. I watched in one breath. There is nothing special or original about it. The actors are doing well again in their roles.

Seventh series
Autopsy Room Four/
Section N4. The series is not scary at all. It doesn't even scare you at all. On the contrary, it's kind of a banal series. I laughed little and missed a lot. The only series that ends with a clear happy ending.

You Know They Got a Hell of a Band/
You know they have a great band. Ghost town again. Only with ghosts as famous rock singers. Nothing remarkable. 4 out of 10.
Overall, the series is rather boring and boring. What to watch it for, I don’t know. Fans of the work of the King of Horrors should definitely not advise: they will once again spoil their mood with a pathetic craftsmanship. Ordinary mortals are strictly forbidden - why waste their precious time in vain? Fans of TV shows – better watch any other good series or review your favorite. Horror lovers (like me) can try it, but you won’t find anything new. And so, in the day 40 minutes of precious time and can be melted into one series.
