Stephen King's television adaptations showcase a range of quality, with recent successes like Mr. Mercedes and Castle Rock contrasted by failures such as Under The Dome and The Mist. While The Institute explores themes involving a facility that kidnaps psychic children, it feels less compelling and too reliant on familiar King tropes. The character depth typical of King's literature is notably missing in this work, leading to a lesser emotional impact and connection to the story compared to his other novels.
