Stephen King's 'The Institute' makes a compelling dark thriller series with enough mystery to keep you hooked

Ben Barnes as Tim Jamieson in "The Institute".

As someone who grew up reading Stephen King, I’ve always had a soft spot for the way his stories feel eerie but still deeply human. So when I heard “The Institute” was being adapted into a series, I was curious (and, I’ll admit, a little worried).

Stephen King adaptations can be hit or miss, but "The Institute," now streaming on MGM Plus, had me hooked from the first episode. And honestly, that’s a telling sign it’s enjoyable for me, considering it usually takes me at least two or three episodes to feel intrigued.
