I just started watching this today. It's based on Stephen King's story "The Institute". It seems more like a torture facility.
"When 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who possess unusual abilities."
It stars Mary Louise Parker as the head of "The Institute" and she plays a real whack job.
There have been 2 eps so far and they are in on-demand, and also airing back to back again tonight on MGM+ channel. It looks like new eps air on Sundays.

It's taking all my self control to keep from looking up what the institute is doing to these kids!
Although, when they showed the smoke stacks from the building in the distance, it gave me chills!

I’m looking forward to discussing it. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the series in Canada.

Thanks, Naja. Much appreciated!
Like I said, the book was very entertaining. I think we’re in for a fun ride with this one.

I would like to see this one too, if you can send me a link. This is one of Stephen King's better books. Very enjoyable.

Heckagirl, I don't have a link to watch. I do see that it's available in torrents for file sharing. And that is a whole ordeal if you've never done it before.
I see ep 1 is free on Amazon Prime video and Roku, and so many people don't even realize they already have MGM+ channel.

I looked it up. Could probably watch the first one, but that's how they rope you in, my sister said. It would be another $6.99 a month. We already pay enough for streaming services, my sister said. So no go until it's shown in reruns on free TV. Oh well.

This is odd... I thought... I might like to read that book. Kindle tells me I already have it, and when I opened it, it went to the last page (already read).
But I restarted it and don't remember reading it.
Oh well, good way to save money!

Heckagirl, we'll post when it gets to finale, and then you can do the free trial to binge it.
haha Kar! That's how it is with me and my scary movies. I no recollection of seeing some, but it shows I've seen them.
