Lisey's Story (2021)
7/10
It's a Stephen King Greatest hits Album!
18 June 2021
Whether for good or bad, this story really is soaked in Stephen King tropes, which makes sense since he wrote it. Depressed Author? Psycho obsessed fan? Abusive father? Family with unexplained powers? Underlying unknowable dread? Hotel in a snowstorm? It has it all! I had to laugh out loud when I saw a message written backwards in blood... Stephen why do you do this?

The actors do a stellar job to keep me invested, and the show, for the first 3 episodes, rides a fine line of subtly and going full blown crazy which is great. My only critique is it can feel repetitive even early on and Dane DeHaan is a little over the top but really interested to see where it goes. They're really going full steam with that Oreo product placement as well.
