Hard to gauge how compelling it would be if this were a completely new work with no reference points or history.

That said, the most recent episode is a pretty powerful culmination of everything that came before. I won't spoil how it achieves that, it's not in the traditional way of paying off storylines, but it's an interesting exercise. Best episode of the series thus far, albeit with only one or two episodes left.
I see how you'd need to be a fan of King or know about his past works to truly appreciate the complexity and tie-ins to the overarching multiverse. If you strip that away is it kind of a run of the mill "spooky" series. I'm looking forward to seeing the ep you're talking about.

With so many known actors in it the budget must be somewhat large. Hopefully it pays off.
