Anyone been watching Kingdom Hospital? |
|
It's on tonight at 10 pm EST on ABC. I just started watching it last week. I missed the premiere.
If you've been watching it, what do you think? Is it a decent Steven King adaptation?

I haven't gotten in to it. I have a hard time just watching TV. I either have to eat (bad, bad) or read and I end up missing most of what I'm supposed to be watching anyway. But, he's a smart guy and a fan of this genre and is pretty into it. It's actually an adaption of a movie that was done in the Denmark.

3. It's classic King with all his bugaboos. |
|
It makes it kind of predictable if you have read his books, but it's still very entertaining and I for one will be watching as long as it's on. I too missed the premiere but it wasn't hard to catch up.

4. It's not based on a Stephen King book, |
|
although you'll probably recognize more than a few archetypes. The show itself is produced by Stephen King, and it's based mainly on a Danish mini-series from a few years ago, with a few of King's own personal experiences thrown in.
I'm still not sure whether or not I like this show. I've only recently started reading Stephen King's books (currently alternating between The Stand and Wizard and Glass, having read the first three Dark Tower books already), and I really like them, so I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Kingdom Hospital has yet to impress me, but I haven't written it off in disgust, either.
