OMG!!! 🤯 I am already glued!!! They can keep this up for 172 years!!! So much story to tell till the birth of Daenerys!!! As a reader of all the books written from ASOIAF to date, seeing these characters and dragon’s come to life is just so satisfying!! And don’t get me started on all the Easter eggs!! Keep your eyes open or you will miss em’! So glad GOT content is back!! Happy watching fellow nerds!!

I’m not really sure why people are saying they are waiting for the 4th and “final” episode. There are 10 episodes in this season and if you’re familiar with Apple TV than you know that they do not show episode synopses or air dates until the most recent episode airs. Be patient people. If you’ve turned away because you’ve now watched episode 3 of what you think is a 4 episode series, you are doing yourself a disservice. Keep going. I’m excited to see where this series goes and I’m already invested in a couple of the series characters. Does Manny eventually leave Aneesha and the kids? I really want to know what happened to the Sheriff!? Sam Neil is a top billed role in the series so the anticipation of his storyline is keeping me on the edge of my seat. Casper had to be the hero of his story and what’s the deal with Monty!?!? and I’m really curious is the characters, at least some of them, converge at some point in the TEN EPISODE series. Yes, I said it again, just in case you’re still reading this. Don’t be afraid to invest in this series. In a world where content is rushed and storylines are poorly executed, it’s nice for the show creators to get you connected to the characters. I anticipate that things will start moving more quickly after episode 4 and continue to progress at a good pace now that we have resonated with the characters. Don’t forget that this series had over 200 million dollar budget. That tells me that there are some pretty fascinating things to come and we will actually have the second half of the series to experience it in. Be patient. Enjoy the storytelling. Don’t be so ready to binge. This story, for good reason, was meant to be told over the course of 8 weeks. I’m excited for what is to come!!!!

A modern take of a timeless classic. Keeping in mind that it was a limited series, I feel production was able to focus on the parts of the book that were most relevant to the very long Stephen King novel. The actor that portrayed Harold was definitely the best choice for the role for what he added to the series. The movie (not the series) was long and tedious at times so I’m glad they made sure the important part key elements to the book were included in the series. I loved every minute of each episode and once the credits rolled, it kept me wanting more. To add, the actor that portrayed Randal Flagg brought excitement to his role and some comic relief as well, which was lacking in the movie version. I also need to reference the “Circle closes” (episode 9) as being a welcomed addition that wasn’t included in the book or TV movie. Thank you Stephen King for writing this episode. I longed for on opportunity for Fran to make her stand both in the book and television movie that aired years ago. She needed to take her stand and that was left out of the book/TV adaptation. Thanks Stephen King for allowing life long fans the opportunity to get what, (at least I) was missing. I do hope production and any involved with the 2020 remake, consider giving us something to look forward to with the resurrection of Randal Flagg (who is now Russel Faraday) on a native island featured in the last episode, giving us an opportunity to see “Russel Faraday” recovering from his massive defeat in episode 8. There is so much more that can make this series evolve into Flagg and his attempt at regaining the power he lost after the 4 chosen made their stand against him. I’ll end this with how absolutely perfect the role of “Trashcan man” was as portrayed by the talented actor in that role. (I can’t remember the actors name. He was most like the man I envisioned while reading the novel. I definitely give this 5 stars and recommend watching for any fan of SK works. Remember, while watching, this was a CBS remake and as with some RV series, there are a few things that I had to scratch my head over but for what it was, I was impressed and hope a continuation of the story emerges in time. 5 stars for condensing the very long book and TV adaptation that aired in the 80s, into a captivating series that had us glued each and every week!
