Gary Murphy I am a fan of time-travel movies and a history buff, so I was looking forward to this series. There are some positive aspects. The acting is good by all and the direction is well done.Where the series fails are in the subplots. The core plot is reasonably well done, but there are some ancillary plots, that I won't spoil, that are really, really dumb. The characters do things that are inconsistent with their other behaviors. It seems the writers needed to create some drama and didn't quite have the creativity to know how to do it in a plausible way.Ultimately, it ends up feeling like a weak network television show.

Jeffrey Burton I know it's only science-fiction/fantasy but 11.22.63 is incredibly egregiously socially irresponsible in it's portrayal of Oswald, George de Mohrenschildt and the happenings before the Kennedy assassination. King would've been better off leaving the details a mystery than making the choices he did. I really don't think he's as well versed as he should've been to take on this subject matter.I've been told he consulted Gerald Posner, the CIA's mouthpiece for Kennedy Assassination misinformation. I'm very disappointed in Stephen King. He usually displays better sense and his moral compass is usually right on the mark.The content is so putrid the good performances of Franco and Gadon are negated as is the direction and production.SPOILER ALERT in my SPOILER ALERT: After watching the entire mini-series. It was even worse than I thought. In Stephen King's world Kennedy never does anything of importance and because he lives the world is a barren wasteland. What a shite sandwich that was. This is, no doubt, the Warren Commision's version of how Kennedy surviving the assassination attempt would be. So, that's why I'm going on IMDb to give this 1 star.

gabrielcarvalhob Great series with Time Travel + Good acting + Good history and effects! I totally recommend it! One of the best series I have ever seen, it is also based on a good book from Stephen King, one of the best writers of this decade. I hope they do not create a new season, since this season is so complete and unforgivable

gws-2 I read the wonderful Stephen King novel, upon which this great miniseries is based, when it was a bestseller and then reread it in the spring of 2016 when I heard about this show. Over the past couple of days I have watched the miniseries again and liked it even more this time. It is one of the best, if not the very best, filmed versions of a good book I can recall.The series is a bittersweet examination of the power of unintended consequences. The key to it is expressed in Al the diner owner's warning to Jake when Jake agrees to go back to 1960 and live in the '60s for three years in order to try to prevent the assassination of JFK by Lee Harvey Oswald in Texas in 1963. Al tells Jake to expect "push back" whenever Jake tries to change events because "When you f*** with the past, the past f***s you back." As Jake desperately tries to prevent the JFK assassination and to "fix" some other things along the way, he discovers the dark power and truth of Al's warning. As is true of King's best work, and I think his 11/22/63 is near the top of that list, this story, while filled with King's dark humor is also filled with dark truths. By its end, it moved me.
