I was so mad when I finished King’s novella, “The Colorado Kid”. It ends without any resolution and the great “mystery” of the story is never resolved. Hopefully the new show will be similar to The Twilight Zone, althogh no show since has ever come close to matching the quality of The Twilight Zone.
I’m confused…the synopsis of the show does not sound like The Colorado Kid (which is terrible by the way…it is exactly how NOT to write a mystery). Wasn’t the “dectective” in the novella a reporter? And I don’t remember any supernatural elements. So in what way is this show adapted from the novella?
