The legendary 2007 TV series Stephen King can’t stand: “It’s basically a soap opera”Much like the rest of us, Stephen King spends a lot of his free time, and for the most part, his opinions on the best and worst of the small screen are far from controversial. “I don’t watch Mad Men,” he snapped when the series was still running. “I think it’s basically a soap opera, and if I want a soap opera, I watch Revenge.” If you were given the choice to watch Mad Men or Revenge, which one would you choose? Unless, like Stephen King, you think it’s an overrated, overblown, and glorified soap.
