'KINGDOM HOSPITAL', how is it? (1 Viewer)

[Inspector Hammer!]

I saw that this short lived series was coming to dvd and the spots I saw looked scary as hell. Is it worth a purchase?

I normally love Steven King novels and the movies made from his works are decent. But the other King fan and myself got bored with this mini-series.

It almost looked like they did not have enough money to do things right. Empty streets/sets were common, odd-events thrown in without context to the rest of the story, some odd characters appearing without reason, etc.

Check your local rental store and rent a disk or two before you buy.

I thought it was great, as a Stephen King TV-novel.

And here is my review of the series on DVD.

Thanks everybody, I think I might seek it out for a rental. Normally I buy Stephen Kings material right out, but this was iffy.

I thought the previews looked good, too, but was only able to stand watching 2-3 episodes.

How can this be Stephen King's when it's a remake?

If you've read my review already then skip this post.

I HATED this when I watched the pilot on TV. HATED IT! I wanted this show to fail in so many ways, but watching it on DVD was a different story. I got sucked into the show and I couldn't stop watching. I thought Columbia TriStar did a very good job with the set, and while it's not for everyone I think it's worth a rental if you're interested in Stephen King's material.

On TV, a few episodes were good but most felt like filler. The finale explains everything, and is good, but I don't think it pays off on the time investment. I don't care what King says, a LOT of the mid-run episodes are simply pointless.
