    NOS4A2 will put you on a magical road, brimming with possibilities for terror and wonder, but takes so many detours into dull territory, you’re left with the impression you’re going nowhere at all. But if it ever figures out where it’s going, there’s plenty of gas left in the tank.

    Joe Hill's expansive horror novel might have made a better movies than a sluggish series stalled in the angst of small-town Massachusetts life. [10 - 23 Jun 2019, p.9]

    Mr. Quinto is creepy from the get-go. As Manx ages backward, he remains disturbing even as he comes to resemble a contemporary Quinto. ... But all that effort does little to make “NOS4A2” compelling television. The stories are disconnected at the outset and Vic’s home life is one-note rote.

    So my biggest problem is that it is SO different from the book right off the rip that I absolutely cannot bare to watch. This is my 2nd attempt and I just honestly don’t think I can do it. Vic isn’t even anything like she’s supposed to be. I feel like the ball was dropped hard here. I’ll do my best to give it a more fair shot independently as a series, but as far as book adaptations go this is the worst I’ve seen.    … Full Review »

However, this is still the most underrated new show of 2019 and a good adaptation of the book.… Full Review »
