10 Shows Like 'Carrie' You Should Watch Next
Maybe/maybe not, but the horrific bullying faced by the teen protagonist of Stephen King's first book is not even the tiniest bit less relevant now than it was way back in 1974, and Mike Flanagan has proven himself King's most adept modern-day translator—and that's before taking his other work into consideration. Most obviously, it's a revenge drama, with a relatively simple set-up: Song Hye-kyo plays Moon Dong-eun, an elementary school homeroom teacher who's playing a very long game: Her school bullies are grown up now, and their kids (some of them, anyway) are now in Dong-eun's care. Smartly, the show makes clear the extent of the past violence faced by Dong-eun (much of it hard to watch), and the resulting post-traumatic stress that's consumed her life.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Do we need another adaptation of Carrie? Maybe/maybe not, but the horrific bullying faced by the teen protagonist of Stephen King's first book is not even the tiniest bit less relevant now than it was way back in 1974, and Mike Flanagan has proven himself King's most adept modern-day translator—and that's before taking his other work into consideration. So we'll happily give it a shot before diving into these other shows to remind ourselves that growing up is hell.The Glory (2022) window.videoEmbeds = window.videoEmbeds || []; window.videoEmbeds.push({ elemId: 'video-container-01M4C2NQE4X255RQ6AYDR5JXWP', data: {"slug":"tqVVrTvrI8U","start_time":null,"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tqVVrTvrI8U"}, videoPlayerType: 'in-content' }); There are at least a couple of different levels…
