Lisey's Story (2021)
7/10
Mental Illness
17 July 2021
The story was very intriguing. I honestly did not understand the first episodes so it took me half way into the series to really get invested in it. I did cheat a little and googled some information to understand the story better because I don't think I would watch this again. So I wanted to understand the final episodes and know what the heck was going on.

The show has a talented cast of actors and skilled art directors and cinematographers. I was particularly impressed with Joan Allen's catatonic performance. It was her acting prowess that carried me forward and caused me to not withdraw from watching weekly. She really is talented.

It's an interesting romantic psychological horror story revolving around mental illness and abuses that happen. It's a fine show and I think you can get more out of it by looking up its fandom page and reading a little background on the story from which the book its based. It's not my favorite Stephen King story, not scary, but I enjoyed it.
