I thought we were going to get it all at once. I’m disappointed, I was going to spend the weekend watching it. I’m not used to Apple TV, I got used to Netflix.

I am a huge Stephen King fan but this is one book I read once and never read again. It had nothing to do with the story but rather the timing of when I read it. I lost my husband in 2006, when this book came out, and was looking for something to take my mind off of it. I had no idea what the novel was about because I have a hardcover collection of Stephen King novels and buy them no matter what. I should have put it down once I realized what the subject matter was, a wife coming to terms with her husband's death, and waited until I wasn't so emotionally raw but I enjoyed the writing. I keep promising myself I will read it again but just cannot seem to pick it up again.

This long preamble to explain that I am now unsure as to whether or not I will watch this series. I love Julianne Moore and I have seen almost every Stephen King film and miniseries (excepting a few Children of the Corn films) but I hesitate to commit myself to the series. If I start it, I will finish it, but should I even bother? Has anyone seen any previews beyond the one above? Does this look like one of the better Stephen King adaptations or another bad Children of the Corn film?
