Lisey's Story has the distinct feel of something that has been created by a bunch of men who haven't been told 'no' in quite some time. Ultimately, it is a woman who pays for their overindulgence.

The back half of this miniseries is so bogged down by inconsistent pacing, drawn-out scenes, muddled plotting, and a frustratingly anticlimactic ending that all the good Lisey's Story delivers before that collapse ends up overshadowed.

All the performances are first-rate. Mr. Owen is in rare form -- the role of the wounded child-turned-artist is not something previously in the actor's repertoire. Ms. Allen and Ms. Moore are extraordinary

Lisey's Story, from the mind of Stephen King, hinges on performances from an exceptional ensemble cast who deliver.
June 03, 2021
While Lisey's Story was one of King's best novels in part because of its complexity, he was unable to edit down the endless subplots and subtext that float well in the novel's undercurrents but become choking and unwieldy on screen.

The porousness of the action becomes frustrating and, ultimately, off-putting. I don't mind being toyed with by a show; I don't need strict linearity. But the willful swirl and the withholding of coherence are too extreme here.

The photography is lavish and painterly, though it would be hard to make the Maine woods look anything less than glorious.

Lisey's Story has a strong cast and direction, but the writing ultimately sinks the series.
May 26, 2021
Its effectiveness, even in some of its less compelling moments, with heady and heartfelt writing, and performances that simmer is hard to forget. It's the Stephen King adaptation I've been waiting for.
June 03, 2021
There are some interesting, often supernatural connections between the characters; the hard part is wanting to stick around long enough to see where they might lead.
May 31, 2021
Lisey's Story is a mess in almost every conceivable way.
June 03, 2021
The Apple TV+ limited series lands in the shallow end of the King cinematic pool, with a convoluted story that mostly squanders its big-name cast.
