I picked up a DVD of the entire series (Such as it was) and found this to be a very entertaining little exercise from King. Of course, I have a soft spot for Kings material, since I enjoy his books and personally count him as one of the great living American writers (Somewhere behind Vonnegut and Toni Morrison, but he's in the top ten). Anyway, the review : The Good : The cast is good, quite good in parts. For a series this looked like it could have been a good competitor to the X-Files, as far as the depth of the story goes. One thing that impresses me is that there is very little of what I mentally have come to call "King-Speak" (Where characters say things in such a way that it would sound perfectly real in a novel, but as soon as it comes out of an actors mouth it sounds stupid).
The Bad : The end leaves a lot to be desired. Obviously that is not really the series fault, but be warned. The opening credits are cheesy. That's about it.
Bottomline : I like it. A lot. This was the first piece of work of King's that really caught ahold of me as a good piece of work.
