This is the first time I have ever felt the need to review a movie or TV show! I was looking so forward to the updated adaptaion of this story. I even gathered my family who have heard me praise both book and older adaptation for years. I couldn't wait for them to share in a story I've talked about for years. However, the format that was chosen has left them all confused and with no connection to the characters the way that the other versions created. I find myself answering questions and assisting them to keep up with the time changes. When we switched back to Charles Campion at the end of the 2nd episode my family gave up. They still had built no real understanding or connection to any of the characters. And although we read that he did, my son actually said, "There is no way Steven King worked on this." We are going to watch the 1994 version so that they can understand what is going on. I hope they will hang in there for the last episodes. Huge let down!
