Just finished it last night, loved it.

Strongly suggest others watch it.

Based on a Stephen King book.

If you were paying attention, when Franco and hot Sadie were going up the stairs at the book depository to stop Oswald, there was red paint on the brick wall that said "redrum"

But in the show it was 1960 and he just got there, right?

Sarah Gadon was insanely hot, and was perfect in that role. She was about as cute and innocent as anyone's ever been on screen.



She really was perfect for a beautiful woman in early 1960's

Finished it last night, but it was a slog to get through. Franco can't carry a series.

****SPOILERS


In the alternative 2016 timeline, when everything is shite, how did you interpret that? Did a civil war take place, or did we get bombed by Russia or some other country?

I thought Franco was awful in this. It was a slog for me as well because of what I thought was stupid decision after stupid decision. Get in the car with a family annihilator not once but twice? Ummmm...no thanks.

Anyway like someone else mentioned I did love the twist of history fricking with you. And would love to have explored more of what happened to the country with Kennedy alive.

Tempted to read the book since most agree it was better.

Finally finished. Enjoyable, glad I watched it. Typical king hallmarks but the concept was excellent, history’s resistance etc

Definitely an uphill battle between Francos “acting” and how dumb his character constantly is. But it’s still good. Pretty much everyone else is good at what they are doing. Sadie is fire. Woukd time travel and risk timelines for her.

SPOILERS

Kind of surprised he took the bums word for it that she would keep dying. How couldn’t change how his kid died. Sadie didnt die originally so what’s to say going back and not getting involved at all with JFK wouldn’t have worked.

We stumbled on this last night. I was hesitant. I only stopped once I could no longer stay awake. A very pleasant surprise.

Like others have said, book is way better. On a side note, the addresses of various places are in the book, like Oswalds apartment, etc. and you can go on Google Earth and do a street view - kinda neat.

It is an interesting show. I didn't realize it was Stephen King when I started it, which was an interesting concept.

It was entertaining for sure and you knew the wheels would fly off with him getting too involved in the past.

I liked it because of the history but I agree that it was a beating to see him making dumb decisions just like the Diner owner told him not to get involved with people.
But then that is part of the story and the drama. It is intentional to frustrate the viewer/reader.

Spoiler!!!





Did he come clean at the end with Sadie as she is an old lady? Its been a little while since I've seen it.
