Idk, I liked the book more than the movie but maybe I'm missing something.

Kubrick's movie was a good, scary movie that was definitely inspired by the book.

The TV series was lower quality, but I believe a better adaptation of the book.

I really appreciate that movie version of Dr Sleep did an amazing job of blending Kubrick's version with King's novels. Enough so that I think it pulls Kubrick's movie back into line where it feels less divergent from the original book.
