Watching the last episode of The Outsider.

My one concern with Stephen King's works is how he sometimes uses his characters to make it seem rational to believe in the supernatural while those who don't believe in the supernatural are being close minded.

If you're judging King's works by the adaptations, don't blame King for them. He typically writes of a universe where the supernatural is real and leaves evidence lying about willy nilly. Many of the adaptations want to portray a universe like ours, where there may or may not be anything supernatural, but there's precious little evidence (if any) to back up the bullshit. Then they portray the characters much the way King does in his alternate universe. Ghosts, spirits, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, vampires, cell service that spits zombie virus in your ear, and even a killer clown from outer space are all very real, in universe, and leave all sorts of evidence behind. To deny the evidence is much like the christers in our universe who ignore all the evidence and proclaim the earth to be 6,000 years old. Honestly, I think most of them would be more at home on King's side of the funhouse mirror.

If you're ever trapped in Kings nightmare universe, rational thinking as we understand it, will get you killed.
