I admit that I picked this book up because I'd been watching the TV series. Unlike some others who I'd seen review this before I didn't mind too much that the book wasn't as detailed and didn't match up 100% with the TV series. You have to accept that tv/film adaptations and the original books are very different mediums and try and judge them accordingly. I must admit I don't always succeed in this myself but I usually manage better when the book comes second.

I did like the fact that the book is more focused on Villanelle rather than Eve, I liked having that different viewpoint. Definitely worth a quick read if you fancy a bit more to sit alongside the series.

Good Lord. I came back to this book with the new film approaching rapidly and I couldn't put it down (so to speak). Weber nailed the narration and the story is every bit as frightening and evocative as it was when I was younger. This is Stephen King at his finest, and definitely one that you should just experience for yourself. Whether you've read it on print, seen the 90s TV special, or are seeing the film later this year, picking up this audiobook is still highly recommended.

Such a great app!
Always something to watch on this app! Keeps your place if you stop mid way through a film or episode. Brings up lots of recommendations based on other things you have watched previously.
Tv or film, there is something for everyone. The Netflix originals just seem to be getting better and better and sometimes far outweigh a big budget film/series.
As a family of 4 we each have our own profiles so no getting mixed up on who has seen what. By far one of the best tenners I spend each month!

Watched today I've seen this movie several times over the years and still I love the movie based on the BBC TV show doctor who not many realise back in the 60s they made two movies with the doctor and the daleks in colour and it really is amazing the casting of Peter cushing as the doctor is the best choice in the role plays it so well and then there's Roy Castle who would go on later for a lot of children in the 70s and 80s to make a tv show called record breakers plays the comedy side rather. And then there's the daleks looking glorious in colour for the first time. Recenlty the film had been restored in glorious HD looking better than ever which is the version I watched today. Overall good movie based on a tv but dalek invasion earth 2150 still my favourite of the two

Great look to the show
Gripping Storyline
I decided to give this a go as it's based on a Stephen King novel. From the first episode you will be hooked. A truly terrible murder has been committed and the suspect is seen by many witnesses. It seems an open and shut case apart from the fact the suspect is also seen 60 miles away at the time.
I really enjoyed this, one of the best TV shows I've seen in a while. In many ways the look, feel and the way it unravels reminded me of @True Detective as the police and investigators try to make reason of a complex case. But it could be something they couldn't possibly have imagined.
If you like a typical Stephen King story that you know will be weird and wonderful start watching this!

Magic and romance
This was on tv the other night so I thought i'd give it a try. It is a kids film so I thought it might be too young for me but I actually quite enjoyed it. It moved along swiftly and kept me gripped. There were good special effects and some "magic" that I hadn't seen in films before. There's also a romantic story as a sideline. All in all a good film.
