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 nightlyThis Mike Flanagan take on Stephen King’s story is getting a mixed reception. People are loving the acting, especially from Summer H. Howell and Samantha Sloyan, but the story itself and its take on modern bullying are divisive. While Flanagan’s style is generally praised, many find the adaptation’s pacing to be a slog and feel the iconic prom scene and ending fall flat. It’s a well-acted series that doesn’t quite stick the landing for a lot of viewers.
