This is what really bugs me about Amazon Prime Video, and now Apple TV. I see a series I want to watch advertised as being on Amazon, but only to find out you need another subscription for a totally different service to be able to watch it...
This is weak in so many areas . The flash forward and back structure is deeply annoying offering little in the way of following a character's development arc. I counted 5 separate time frames for a single character in one episode.
The actors seem hopelessly miscast and performances are dull.
The cinematography is bland and cramped in the extreme. It looks worse than the previous serious and eveb more set bound and hokey
The jump scares are so predictable , the pandemic feels like its over and done in a day. I really don't think I can stick with this and I'm a big fan of the book.
Even the music is off kilter and not in a good way. Just feels amateurish and pointless . Really disappointing.
I remember reading the 'unexpurgated version' of this book back in the 1990s and really liking it until it got to the usual King 'good vs evil' scenario. It seemed at the time every one of his books ended up being the same kind of thing. He's always been excellent at building a plot intially and great dialogue but the stories as a whole mean I can't face watching them.
the show is absolutely dreadful. I love the book but having the show in a non linear way just kills it for me. Its very confusing for someone who does not know the book. For example the start of the book is shown at the end of the first epiosde. i was hoping this would be good but i actually thought it was worst that the dark tower film and that was crap
I know everyone’s crapping on this but I’m sticking by my guns on this one. Watched the second episode and still think it’s making a very decent fist of it. Yes, the timehopping narrative is unwelcome, and you can see what they’re doing. They’re going to tell the first half of the book — the individual character journeys — in flashback at portentous moments. That’s definitely annoying.
But. It is very well made, and I think both the cast and the script are firing on the necessary number of cylinders. I shall watch on as new episodes appear.
Anyone know of a way to view this in 4k in the UK? I've done the 3 months at 99p thing to add Starz to my Prime account, but that doesn't appear to do 4k?
I see it is 4k on CBS All Access in the US.

You can't certainly view it using a VPN or DNS service and subscribe to CBS in the same way quite a few forum members have been subscribing to HBO max.
