The Institute is a miniseries based on a Stephen King novel, featuring a story about kids with special abilities subjected to horrific experiments. The series stands out among past adaptations for its engaging narrative and strong performances. Mary-Louise Parker portrays the unsettling head of the Institute, delivering a captivating and creepy performance. The show remains in the middle tier of King adaptations compared to others like The Outsider, but it offers a compelling watch with its mix of suspense and horror elements.
The series belongs in the comfy midsection of those old-school TV adaptations; a taut eight-parter that's way better than Tommyknockers but not as polished as HBO's brilliant The Outsider.
The ace up its sleeve is a Nurse Ratched-esque performance from Mary-Louise Parker. She's both creepy and unhinged as the head of the Institute.
