this be not genius and this be the direct opposite of genius and and i be actually stun by some of the comment this series get . i have read most of king book . he not a bad author and but a movie maker he not . von trier riget be a masterpiece and and you would think that a remake which rip off most of the dialogue and plot would be at least decent without too much effort . wrong . the acting be poor and and actor poorly choose all actor either look like model or be mean to come across a idiot . dr. stegman ( stig ) be not nearly a evil and cynical a he be make out to be in the original series and and there be some very obvious attempt to live off the past popularity of twin peak . the humor of the original be lose in king remake and which be too bad since it be the humor and not the ghost story that make the original so great to begin with . i never expect anyone to fill ernst hugo shoe and but at least king could have try to give some kind of personality apart from tedious stereotype to his character . even if you do not compare this series with the original and you still end up with a series for the mass and fill with oversimplified character and joke that aren not funny ( the talk dog omfg ) and poor acting and and a way of tell the story that insult to the audience intelligence . this series be make for make money . and that okay and as long a youre open with the fact that that be the only purpose . but there absolutely nothing genius about it .
