Stephen King’s ‘Lisey’s Story’ Doesn’t Use Julianne Moore to Full Effect: TV Review
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“There has never been a writer who has so seamlessly blended the realistic and the fantastic,” Ron Cephas Jones intones near the start of “Lisey’s Story,” a new Apple TV Plus limited series adapted from a Stephen King novel. Jones is speaking of Scott Landon, a character played by Clive Owen — a novelist whose notoriety has given him great wealth, but whose life reads like a horror that he himself would have written.It’s strange to begin a review of a series toplined by Julianne Moore, one of the world’s leading performers, by discussing another character; she is usually the event.
