I don't like Stephen King, I think he's not that good, but usually his modern TV adaptations are hugely hyped. This one isn't, although it's pretty much on the same level as these things go. I would give it a worse rating than I do, but think this wouldn't be fair, since the way the modern internet works, this one just has such an abysmal rating relative to the other things right now, because it has Whoopi Goldberg in it... As simple as that, one can observe this principle of rating in a few other things where a casting or subject matter just pisses off some rabid hoards. They might partly even go on to justify it other ways, but that's where it starts, mostly.
