I am watching this series for a second time with the wife and I am just as riveted and having just as many emotional reactions the second time around. Based on a novel by Stephen King, the mastermind of American kitchen-sink horror, someone did an incredible job on the adaptation. Not to mention the casting and pacing and general fucking aura of creepiness.
First time I watched this, I was thinking, "God damn, Stephen King books are just like decompressed X-Files episodes!" Then I realized immediately I had it backwards and X-files episodes are just compressed Stephen King novels.
