The survivors are pulled in two directions: to the light with Mother Abigail in Nebraska, or to Randall Flagg, the Satan-like menace last played by Matthew McConaughey in THE DARK TOWER, and his wicked followers in Sin City. As the two groups begin rebuilding civilization, a war is in the making, where only one group can survive.
While the previous 4-episode miniseries had its ups and downs, it brought Gary Sinise's film career into focus. For that, I can only hope another great stage actor ready for the big screen is picked to play Stu 'East Texas' Redman, the simple and even soldier picked to be a leader in Mother Abigail's Light Side army.
The last miniseries had its teleplay written by King himself, which dealt with a lot of fat-trimming (Frannie's mom and the Ratman, Stu's

Common Causes of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems

Imagine settling in for the night to watch a few episodes of your favorite binge-worthy TV show when suddenly, your streaming service stops loading, and all you can do is watch the Wi-Fi go in and out, hoping the endless buffering stops soon. You might be gritting your teeth just thinking about it — you and 7 billion other people. The demand for Wi-Fi is now global. In a study, 75% of people reported that they’d be grumpier during a week without Wi-Fi than they would during a week without coffee. In fact, 60% of the same group said they couldn’t go without Wi-Fi for even one day! When the Wi-Fi is down, our internet-dependent world quickly comes to a halt.
