While the first season premiered in 2022, many Americans were unable to see it until its arrival on Netflix on February 1. So, we are thankful Stephen King sounded the alarm on what looks like a very intriguing show. Let us get to know this thrilling tale a bit better.
In the series,
“When a man (Jamie Dornan) wakes up in the Australian outback with no memory, he must use a few clues to discover his identity before his past catches up with him.”
