New creepy HBO series based on the Stephen King novel. Really like how dark it is. HBO does a good job with how gritty some of their shows are. This one is kind of like True Detective with more of a supernatural evil. Enjoying it so far.

I was extremely disappointed with the first 2 episodes and won't be back. I didn't find anything about it challenging or mysterious or creepy. Matter of fact, it was pretty predictable and weak, in my opinion.

I read King back in the day when he was the hottest author out there, and a lot of his early stuff was pretty good. But, over a period of time, the formula becomes fairly predictable and familiar and they all start reading alike.

It doesn't get good until they bring in Holly Gibney. First two episodes were setup episodes. It's moving pretty well now.

Really happy with the final episode...other than the stupid 'sniper's bullet shooting a gasoline leak and making the entire vehicle burst into a ball of flames' choice that Jason Bateman made. Otherwise it was great. The post credits scene was interesting; I've read they're thinking about another season since the ratings were so high. Chasing that cash!

Thought the interaction with the outsider was a bit weak. I wanted more info from him and some answers. It felt rushed. I still enjoyed the suspense of the season overall. Just wish the end had more bite to it

Same, big build up for not much payoff, easily killed not much backstory. 

But still enjoyed it, just nitpicking really.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
