Stephen King is one of those authors on earth whose opinion is highly valued. He has given the world some of the greatest stories, and many of the creators have adapted them into fantastic films. A while ago, King was in the news for claiming that even without opting for a subscription, he got the blue tick on Twitter. However, later on, Elon Musk confirmed that he was paying for King’s blue ticks from his pocket. Once again, the author is in the news, but this time for a different reason.

The 75-year-old author is very active on Twitter and uses the platform often to share his opinions. He has done it once again, but this time, he has stood up for a show he loved. Apparently, King recently watched the latest release of Netflix, The Diplomat. He ended up loving the show and took the initiative of singing its praises. He recently tweeted, “THE DIPLOMAT (Netflix) is just terrific.”
