One of my all time favorites.

not horrible nor great

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

James Franco delivers a strong performance in this TV series that grips the viewer into 60's Americana life. The story becomes interesting the more the primary character mingles with the lives of those in the past.A definitive story about time travel and it's infinite possibilities and the complications of a story of a man out of place with explosive secrets, trying hard to right the wrongs of the past. I found this impossible to stop watching once I started, and that's a very good sign of captivating television worth watching. Curiously, the FBI/CiA collusion within the story is a hat tip to the truth and about the only connection to reality. Oswald, though historically was absolutely a patsy, this show casts him as an unhinged gun nut Marxist Communist with a Govt agent handler, and a penchant for going troppo in the FBi field agent office.
Nice twists on reality and paradox concepts throughout however.
Despite it's small flaws this is brilliant viewing that makes me want more.{ edit - }
After watching the final Episode 8 in the series, I changed my 8 star rating to ten.
Despite the plot being oblivious to points of reality ie:
1) Secret Service told to stand away from the Limousine,
2) George Herbert Walker Bush as the head of the CIA involvement,
3) The next President having been pre- prepared to be sworn in
4) and at least 3 bullets fired at JFK,
the many twists in the final forced a re-rating from my observations. Incredibly imaginative concepts, with amazing cinematography deserved to be applauded. Wonderful story, well told and despite being different from the book stands by itself for many reasons. Imaginative and creative being but two. The talents of Joe Henderson stands out, JJ Abrams stands out and James Franco DEFINITELY stands out... All the cast and crew deserve mention

This series is truly a masterpiece and work of art. Never was a moment that did'nt felt breathtaking. When you have such a superb cast, acting on a storyline by Stephen king, I'm sorry I dare you if you don't feel the thrill and romance.

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

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.
