Really terrible television which revitalizes its reputation as the "idiot box." So poorly written that it is hard to believe that Stephen King would allow his name to be even remotely associated with it, the intriguing plot is frittered away as this mess meanders into utter ridiculousness. The acting ranges from breathtakingly bad to laughable, with overacting being the most entertaining aspect of the proceedings. This monumental disaster drags on and on with the "writers" coming up with more implausible and downright stupid plot contrivances simply to pad the show's length and extend its run. What could have been and should have been a limited series based upon King's book is a bloated but empty bit of stunning mindlessness that has disconcertingly stayed on the air and continues to go nowhere very, very slowly.
