El Instituto

Its enjoyable enough. A intriguing premise with a suite of characters that feel pretty standard for this kind of show. At some point, Stephen King properties tend to blend together, especially these more obscure adaptions. Generally, I wouldn't recommend (at least 3 episodes in), but it isn't exactly bad. Just peak mediocrity, with some nepo-casting.

Beyond the main three actors supporting are all simply awful actors. Then there are the lines, the writing in this show is so very very awful. The story is somewhat interesting, but then there's the cinematography. It looks like was filmed by the same cruise that do the super low budget teen shows for Netflix. The composition, the camera angles, that everything are awful.

There's a good show to be had in this, but for some reason they seem to have picked inept people for every role, acting, filming, and writing. The two main characters and the other main cast are not terrible, but The Supporting Cast seems like they picked up people who have never acted in their lives. I'm just frustrated.

Interesting idea for a story, terribly executed. What a waste.

I've read the book and I'm totally onboard with expanding Tim's story. The acting is good, the direction creepy enough while teasing us with what's to come. My one complaint is expanding the stories of some of the institute staff. I don't care about these people, these are awful people and outside of the 3 main staff members and security, the rest I don't care about. I hope they don't take up too much time as 8 episodes is enough to cover the book without much filler.

I know there's some uncomfortable scenes with the children which I'm not looking forward to seeing, but it all adds to the story and the eventual Conclusion which I can't wait to see how they've shot that.

I'll stick around and this looks set to be the best King TV adaptation since The Outsider.

Another series with Stephen King influence. An interesting concept about a school environment for kids with special abilities. The main character is extremely intelligent and uses his wit to investigate the institutes intentions. The dialogue is a bit corny. The acting sometimes feels off but the suspense kept me engaged.

I like the plot. I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes but I'm afraid corny dialogue could dilute the quality of this series. This could easily turn into a bad goosebumps episode. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a show for teens or adults. Reminds me of stranger things but less impactful.

The story seemed very interesting But the acting threw me off I don't know if it's supposed to be like that, or it's just people with very little acting experience.

Like there's some scenes where it's supposed to be an action scene, but the characters just not reacting as much.

Someone would say that, the boy's character is like that, very calm but I don't know.

The music choice also in some scenes is wired, I watched the first episode, but couldn't force myself to watch the second.

Maybe it'll get better later, or maybe it's supposed to be for kids.

Any how, great show but not really my cup of tea.
