The new miniseries sports a fresh 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Sounds good to me!
Showrunner Benjamin Cavell says the reboot is based on the extended version of the book. He says: “King read every draft and signed off on every draft. To have him vetting every script by reading it and he had an open line of communication with Owen and me…vetting all the changes we made to characters in real-time.”
