I haven’t actually seen the whole thing yet. From what I’ve read, I guess King tried to make it too much like the book, which I can admit would make the miniseries slow and somewhat awkward. A lot of scenes and details in the book just aren’t meant
tags: asks, mrgeekonthiswebsite, i watched nostalgia critic's review on it too, but he likes the original a lot, so i couldn't really form an opinion on that
