Fionn Laid, Mary-Louise Parker, and Simone Miller headline the MGM+ adaptation of Stephen King’s novel ‘The Institute.’ The eight-episode series translates King’s subgenre of Ordinary Kids with Extraordinary Abilities into a polished yet underwhelming TV representation.

The adaptation takes King’s 2019 novel, which is readable yet ultimately forgettable, and follows its basics while leaving some plot aspects unresolved for a potential second season. This MGM+ series reflects the essence of King tropes, marking it as a simple and occasionally engaging show but lacking a distinct evolution from the original material.
