FINALLY READ MY AUDIOBOOK OF THIS ONE. SO HAD TO HAVE THE MINISEREIS. BOOK IS MUCH BETTER. THEY CHANGED CHARACTERS, REMOVED CHACTERS AND ALTERED STORYLINE. WHICH WAS OKAY IF YOU HAD NOT READ THE BOOK. BUT THE AUTHOR APPROVED IT IT SOO.....

Many have panned this series... the book was so good. But, I thought it does very well standing on its own.

This tv show is a lot of fun. I had a blast watching it.

This series based on Stephen King's work works well and holds your attention.

Another take on Time Travel with some interesting twists, and an excellent setting to do it in - the mystery of JFK's assassination. I have not yet had the pleasure of reading Stephen King's novel this show is adapted from - some have noted the book has key differences, but since I have not read it I can not speak for what those are. For me the series was good as a standalone with a Time Travel aspect that is not explained, but is something that simply is stumbled upon. It seems to take the approach of a 'linear' world, rather than multiple branch time travel stories. The setting is also excellent, with great sets and design work to fit the period.

I found the book fascinating and wondered how it would transfer to the screen. All in all, I was fairly impressed. I would like to have seen the red Ford from the book, though, and I was caught off guard by how history was described as having changed after Kennedy's survival. Once I looked at the date the series was made (February 2016) and reread the book the reason for the difference became obvious: Stephen King's prophetic vision may prove too accurate for comfort. He wrote the book in 2012, well before the 2016 political rhetoric began to ramp up. I suspect that the idea that George Wallace would become president was far too close to what was already happening in the primaries to be able to be used without fear of libel. I think things would have been clearer if they had stuck closer to the original, but otherwise it was not a bad effort.

Okay, I gave this five stars, even though I have read the book and some things are definitely missing. Still, the show works incredibly well as constructed. A school teacher is given the opportunity to go back into time to stop the Kennedy assassination (hence the title, referring to the day of his murder). To tell more would ruin some incredible plot points. It's a Stephen King adaptation, but it is "thriller" not "horror" (and at times, more "drama" than anything else). You know where you are headed in the story, but the journey is great, and a satisfying payoff at the end. You won't be disappointed!

JJ Abrams and Franco unite to adapt Stephen King's off-kilter historical thriller with success, crafting an on-the-edge-of-your-seat viewing experience that is expertly paced and well acted. Casting choices were spot on, especially for the protagonist along with his love interest and what is in my personal opinion the standouts of the cast, Deke Simmons and Miz Mimi. Although the pacing loses it's grounding towards the ending episodes, 11/22/63 is nevertheless an enjoyable watch that is essential for any JFK conspiracy lover, history buff or King fan.

This is a good to very good adaptation of a very long (as most know) book of the same title by Stephen King. It tells the story of a high school English teacher who has a chance to go back in time, to one specific day in 1960, to then live for three years in the past in order to prevent the assassination of President Kennedy.

In this speculative historical thriller based on the book by Stephen King, a high school English teacher (James Franco) discovers a way to travel through time and seizes the opportunity to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, only to meet resistance from a timestream that doesn't like being meddled with, or altered.

If you read the Stephen King novel, this mini-series should be sufficient. If you're a hardcore fan of the novel, then it might be a little disappointing. There's one huge difference here that takes away from the main character's persistence and ultimate journey to that fateful day. Still recommended though.

Let's face it, Stephen King's books are more suited to the mini-series than to the movie. Short stories like Maximum Overdrive don't have much of a problem, but otherwise there is just far too much to squeeze into a 2-3 hour movie. Enter 11-22-63, which took the book, and turned it into a miniseries instead of a movie, allowing for better plot development.

Stephen King's works have been adapted over a variety ion film and tv projects. For every Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, or The Shining . there's a Sleepwalkers or Dreamcatcher. For 11/22/63, the TV/Hulu adaptation is actually quite good. The novel (which I loved), is quite long, and quite detailed, so while a few cuts were made, the story made the transition well.

Must have for any King fans out there, love this adaptation, very excellent series and this is a better format than turning the book into a movie, lots of room to breathe and enjoy this well fleshed out narrative:)

Many have wondered what the world would be like if JFK were never assassinated. This TV Mini Series attempts to give an opinion about that. A very interesting take on the idea. The way they go back in time is a little weird but it usually is. An interesting tell about how changing the past can lead to unexpected happenings. We never know whether it will be good or bad.

Having the room to tell the whole story of Jack Epping's trip to 1963 is what made this great to watch. At first I wasn't thrilled with James Franco getting this role, but he proved me wrong, and Sarah Gadon as his love interest had the goods too, they made Jack & Sadie's romance real. Over all this is one of the best adaptions of a Stephen King's book.

This is one of the rare times when the movie was as good as the book.Stephan King books can be 1000 plus pages of detail and sometimes they do not translate well to the big screen. This movie did exactly that placing you in the same time period. If you love history, - great story and the question of "what if" then this movie is a must see.

This is a great alternate history. What if Kennedy had not been assassinated? What if someone could go back and stop it? I had read the book and was excited when the mini-series came out. Like most book-to-film projects, the book was better but I have to say the film well done and held my interest even though I knew how it would end.

This Hulu made limited series isn't an exact adaptation of the novel of the same name, but if you are fan of King or the novel this is based on, then you will enjoy it. Acting and sets are great. The pacing works mostly, though there is a little dragging in the middle. Be thankful J.J. Abrams brought this King story to life.

James Franco was outstanding in this screenplay version of the original thriller book written by Stephen King !! His acting was mesmerizing..every detail was driven, and I must confess I marathoned this in two days..brings new meaning to the word riveting! Authenticity was matched in a manner that places you into the sixties!
