This is a psychological thriller, four part limited series on HBO MAX. It stars Jessica Plummer, David Oyelowo, and Gigi Mbatha-Raw, "A young woman moves into a dream home and unravels it's dark history". There are two stories, three years apart that are intertwined with two women who look very much alike. This was very good I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I read the book and loved it and so far the series is living up to It. They did a good job on recreating the house. It looked like I expected it to.  
The series deviates from the book and adds a lot of background story, but not to its detriment.

It was kind of an “it” book a few years back, but I don’t remember loving it. I think the series helped me see things better or, just generally, made more sense. I did remember most of the end - and I still am not a big fan (seemed rushed IMO), but I still enjoyed the series.

I did have to Google - the interior of the house was built on a soundstage. The house does not exist - although the address does.

I read the book a few years ago.  Very creepy, but good.
