The TVI Take
Mike Flanagan's 2019 Stephen King adaptation that simultaneously serves as sequel to King's The Shining novel and to Kubrick's film version — the two narrative branches Flanagan had to reconcile. The structural commitment to letting Ewan McGregor's adult Danny Torrance be the actual subject rather than as Kubrick-reverence framing is the production's distinctive achievement.
Among the strongest King adaptations of the streaming era.
