I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it/read the book.

But then again the trailers spoiled some of what the trailers and above gif (also from one of the trailers) show

I knew it wasn’t going to stick 100% to the book. No movie/tv show/mini series does.

In fact, its partly my fault for going back to the book this week and re-reading it so everything is fresh in my mind.

But I don’t mind the changes, so long as they make sense to the narrative of the show itself. So far, some of the changes make NO sense to me. Maybe in time they will, once all eight episodes are in the bag. But for right now they seem pointless.

I was still entertained, and am looking forward to next Monday’s episode. They’re all streaming on Hulu, in case you didn’t know.

Pay Hulu or free Hulu?

Thanks for the reminder! I forgot about this. I was really looking forward to this when I found out about it. The book was fantastic.

Well you can sign up for a 10 day trial once the whole thing has aired and binge watch it. Otherwise you have to pay to see it.

But I am sure there are free ways to watch it as well.

There’s always a free way, I’m just in favor of doing it the free legal way.

I read the book and was debating watching it. What are some of the odd changes?

Places (Kentucky versus Derry, Maine), names (Jake/George is now Jake/Jacob), some circumstances on how and when people meet (Sadie), and when certain events happen in the book vs. on the TV.

Fair enough. Nothing sounds too major.
