I just got done with the first part of episode one. Couple takeaways:
Gray Matter is a Stephen King short story(and a phenomenal one at that)from the compilation Night Shift. I thought they did a decent job turning it into a TV story, but I thought the Richie Parmalee monster was way over the top and more silly than scary.
Great casting. Tobin Bell, Giancarlo Esposito and, in a tip of the cap to the original movie, Adrienne Barbeau(“The Crate”).
Plenty of King fan Easter eggs on one of the missing pets names and on the family name of the missing kids.
I’m definitely into this and will watch all episodes.
