In the two-part series premiere episode, we meet Jake Epping. Burned out and lost, his ex-wife has moved on, his students are always distracted, and his novel has gone nowhere. Then one of his dearest friends, Al Templeton (series star Chris Cooper), shows him the "rabbit hole," a secret time portal that leads back to 1960. Al asks Jake to head back to the past and create a better world by stopping the Kennedy assassination. Jake heads down the rabbit hole to begin his mission, but finds that changing the past is far more dangerous than he ever would have dreamed..

OutstandingMany adaptations of Stephen Kings work are always tarnished when they reach the screen albeit big or small. 11.22.63 however in my opinion was done right. Great casting, slick direction, sharp editing and an impressive budget transform your viewing into a depiction of a real life transition to the 1960's. It looks better than Back to the Future ever did with the 50's era. Set in the present, 11.22.63 tells the story of English teacher who inadvertently stumbles across a time portal and transports him back to 1960 on a quest to prevent the assassination of JFK! But somehow in all this, time itself does not want to be changed and forces try to prevent our hero from completing his quest. Most people seem to haze away from the pilot episode which starts off a little slow but the moment Jake lands in 1960, you will be glued to your screen. Itās a rare treat of entertainment. 5 very deserving stars..Score: 5/5
FinallyOne of Stephen King's Best books gets a worthy mini series as good as the book... Not a big Franco fan, but the story alone, and realistic 60's setting makes it worth watching.Score: 5/5

This director is in an alternate universeReally disappointing. Loved the book and was looking forward to a cinematic re-telling of the story. Bought the season pass too quickly. Barely made it through the first 2 episodes. Acting is OK. James Franco may not be ideal casting but heās not bad. Direction is terrible. Slow. Boring. Designed to stretch out the story - often with no connection to the story. Not sure Iām going to waste my time watching the rest. (wish I could go back in time and not buy the season pass) Might be your cup of tea, though. Iād suggest only buying episode 1 and giving it a try. Still a novel story concept. Hope you like it better than me..Score: 2/5
Don't make the same mistake I didI purchased far too quickly. I should have just bought the first episode to see if I would really enjoy it. I was disappointed by it. Though not terrible I just expected more from names like J.J. Abrams and Stephen King collaborating. However I think its main problem lies with the one who sat in the directors chair. For there are so many moments that feel odd and break the tone. It just could have been better I think. Like I said its not terrible, it just didn't live up to expectations..Score: 3/5
TravestySuch a good book, such a terrible rendition. James Franco was absolutely terrible. The story between Jake and Sadie was much more powerful in the book, and it never transferred to the screen. I was so excited for this, only to be horribly let down..Score: 1/5
Good basic time travel idea, execution could have been betterThe first two episodes gave promise for a great time travel series, but then it fell into a series of events that were not very well connected or believable. I had to force myself to get through the bulk of the series hoping the story would pick up pace, and it does deliver in the end. The acting was good and the depiction of life in the early sixties was well done, but poor directing and story telling ruined a great time travel concept. 3 stars for the basic premise, but it could have been so much better..Score: 3/5
AmazingI have read the book multiple times and the Show is in my opinion just as good, if not better. The entire cast is great, and the visual style is awesome..Score: 5/5
Can't beat the book.While I loved the scenery and how they made it really look like the late 50's early 60's, this series was somewhat disappointing. The story plot is significantly changed in order to present it on the screen including adding characters and events not in the book. Im a James Franco fan and I really like his movies but I feel the role of Jake Epping was not for him. Jake and Sadies relationship was powerful and full of emotion in the book, while it was lame and unconvincing in the series. If I hadnāt read the book first, I probably would have enjoyed the miniseries more..Score: 3/5
SchlockA trivialization of one of the most traumatizing events of my generation, with all the profundity of a comic strip, and a couple only of performances to bring some degree of dignity to this otherwise sorry project.Score: 1/5

When Time Ravel becomes a Serial DramaThe first double episode is brilliant, and promises so much regarding travelling back in time and all the mystery that might entail, but then the series descends into a serial drama focusing on the relationship between the main character and his girlfriend. Tragic really, to draw you in with such mystery only to find yourself watching a soap opera, with the timetravel aspect of the series demoted to the back seat..Score: 1/5
Absolutely fantastic!Hands down, one of the best television programmes I have watched in a very long time. Despite being only eight episodes long, the narrative is very well developed and effectively draws you into the story from the opening episode. Highly recommend. The book, by Stephen King, of which this series is based on is also a brilliant textual representation of the alternate timeline around the assassination of J.F.K. Must watch/must read.Score: 5/5
