DVD Verdict 9 of 10
When I heard that Stephen King's book was going to be made into a television series, I was quite excited. I'm a big fan of King's works, and this title has always been one of my favorites. Fortunately, the film starring Christopher Walken turned out well and is one of the better movies to be made from the author's words. We all know that, for some odd reason, King usually plays far better on paper than on film...Still, I had high hopes for the television series, and they've been mostly met. The Dead Zone is a well-crafted series that encapsulates King's ideas and expands upon them in a refreshing and honest fashion. Still faithful to the book, The Dead Zone has played with the character of Johnny Smith and made him more than what King envisioned. Johnny is a complex man, working to come to terms with the haunting gift that has been bestowed upon him...I wholeheartedly recommend the television series The Dead Zone to everyone. - Eric Profancik
