Really enjoying this series!

Jerusalem's Lot is one of my favorite Stephen King stories.

So happy to see it made into a series.

Just watched the first two installments and I'm hooked!

i am surprised this is not getting more attention.

I am surprised too. It's an awesome series.

My guess is not too many people subscribe to EPIX.

I'm surprised that this series hasn't been promoted more----I only found out about by seeing a promo pic for it on IMDB, but that was it. Other then that, it definitely seems to have flown under the radar---which is unusual since it was based on a Stephen King story.

I’m enjoying it as well. In some ways, it’s the best King/vampires thing that I’ve seen since the ‘Salem’s Lot miniseries a long time ago. The casting and acting are good, and so is the directing. The narrative takes itself seriously, with no winking or elbow nudging into the audience. I hope this is a limited-run series that is over and done with the conclusion of King’s short story, and does not try to make itself into a multi-season series “based on” the source material. That way madness and crap both lie.

I too hope that Chapelwaite is a limited run series.

Just watched ep 9. Anxiously awaiting ep 10!

10 concludes the serious excellently. You will enjoy it.

My cable provider, Xfinity, added Epix to my service. I’d not heard of it. Its movie catalog was “okay,” but not compelling. It was much better than the Hitz platform that my provider gave me when taking away my Cinemax bundle “because Cinemax carries the same content as HBO”—you mealymouthed, circle-jerking, MBA-having little dipshits. I am hugely suspicious of streaming platform’s original content. I reject ALL broadcast network content out of hand, mainly because the constraints of conforming to network broadcast censor standards and commercial take-me-out-of-the-moment SWELLING MUSIC breaks insult me.

Epix delivered Chapelwait to us big time, so I’ve new respect for epix.

I believe that cable TV will wither and die fairly soon. Satellite TV is already dead, just no stake in the heart and garlic in the mouth, yet. The immediate (next decade) future is streaming. Epix gave me the best Stephen King series since ‘Salem’s Lot. Bravo. I’m impressed.

it's not a bad series. i am seven episodes in.

[–] diezman (2235) 3 years ago

The ending was very good.

I agree that it's the best Stephen King series since 'Salem's Lot.

The writers expanded on the story of Jerusalem's Lot and showed respect for the source material in my opinion.

Great series! Highly recommended!
