Carrie
After her father's sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyMost people are into this modern take on Carrie, largely because the acting is strong across the board, with Summer H. Howell and Samantha Sloyan getting specific praise. The big issue is the story and pacing, which a lot of viewers found messy and slow, and the updated ending really fell flat for many. While Mike Flanagan's direction and the solid visuals have their fans, the show's success hinges on whether you're there for the performances or if the drawn-out plot will lose you.
