Lisey's Story

Watching this series is like being slowly tortured each week. It has got to be the slowest, most boring, and ridiculous show I've ever watched. Yet, I foolishly keep watching because I guess I'm a glutton for punishment and the potential is there for what could have been a unique series, but they are so far from the mark, it's just never gonna happen.

Well-acted and very pretty to look at. After the watching the first episode I'm definitely curious to see where the story is going, however, constantly jumping between different times and visions can be a little confusing.

I really wasn't going to watch this after reading all the sledgehammer negative reviews. I took a chance and wasn't disappointed with this series.

Yes it's slow, yes the subject matter is disturbing. Many aren't comfortable with subjects like self harm and, death and abuse.

As a counsellor these sort of things are an everyday subject. I found the whole series to be extremely compelling.

Exactly like the book. Same drawn out story where you turn the page and realize you were accidentally mentally constructing your grocery list and have to turn back and reread a page or two.

I really wanted to like the book. I really wanted to like this series. But this book/series taught me that an author can get so big, so famous, that anything he puts out is treated with respect. Even when it doesn't deserve it.

The acting, the mood, the music, the locations are all quality. But the story is not.

I don't get the negative reviews here. The series kept me engaged and is very well done! Cast is great.

Story is typical S. King.

Is a bit dark and has that mystical/magic component of S. King novels which I enjoy.

Last episodes get better. Should definitely have a better rating here.

I have been drawn to reviews here of 7/8 rating and then those shows are crap.

Probably one of the best shows on Apple Tv at the moment.
