I remember it being pretty dark and just generally not in the mood for it at the time.
I would say the show is a wildly different tone from what I remember. Not without flaws but still super fun.
I’m about halfway through a re-read of The Stand. I read it for the first time when I was probably way too young and remember loving it. But I’m having some bumps on this reread.

Directed By: Mike Flanagan

I was pleasantly surprised that the highlight of this movie was the war between Rose the Hat and young justice seeking Abra.
