Stephen King might have brought prestige TV with IT: Welcome to Derry and Castle Rock, but his underrated yet deservedly acclaimed six-season series, The Dead Zone, is arguably his television masterpiece. Following vision-seeing high school teacher and clairvoyant Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall), The Dead Zone has all of King’s signature traits while retaining a degree of down-to-earthness that even non-King fans can relate to. Tying it all together is a very human dilemma that makes The Dead Zone the crème de la crème of his television projects, as Johnny is constantly faced with the choice of whether to accept an outcome or use his abilities to change it.
