    A show set in Stephen King's Maine

    The acting from the cast is great, particularly an episode dominated by Sissy Spacek. It is mostly well written. It ties into many of Steohen King"s novels via iconic locations and Alan Pangborn and relations to other famous characters. There are a few things that didn't make sense. Is the episode about one character real or a lie, and if a lie, why? I did find the twist at the end disappointing. It is a short season, so watching the whole thing is worth it, even if only for understanding the context for Sissy Spacek's showcase episode. That was fantastic.

    Castle Rock is very well-done and well-acted. Spacek, Levy, and Lynskey are terrific. There's even another Skarsgard and he's ok. It's psychological horror, like most King stories are, even though this isn't an original King, it's set in King's "universe". This kind of tricks the audience who think they're watching a King story, but it's interesting enough to hold your attention.

    I watched this on hulu, and was hoping for a commercial free blu ray and was very excited to get it!!...The show is very good and kept me intrigued. The picture quality is awesome and so is the sound. The set itself is decent, it comes in a little slip box, with a single size case and two discs inside...Definitely worth picking this one up!!

    This is a very quiet and thoughtful show filled with references to King's other works. From little touches like using the expression "to correct" someone and choosing Sissy Spacek to play the mom, any fan should enjoy the nods to previous titles. Bill Skarsgard gives an excellent performance as the mysterious fellow being held captive under Shawshank Prison. Terry O'Quinn is awesome, as always and performaces are solid all around. Looks great on bluray too...a fine addition to my King collection!

    Great Show, Wonderfully Weird

    This show surprised me. It was engaging and delightfully strange without ever being truly scary. If you’re looking for a quirky show based on some of Stephen King’s world-building weirdness, give this a go. It has one of the most heart-wrenching and beautifully tragic episodes from the perspective of someone with Alzheimers disease, one that truly moved me. Looking forward to season 2!

    Excellent cast, excellent writing. An original story set in the fictional world of Castle Rock, the literary backdrop of several of Stephen King's stories. There are many clever Easter eggs for avid King fans to spot, and the series itself holds its own against the titan of horror's immersive imagination. A great, binge-worthy treat.

    I purchased this and it shipped quickly. it came in slightly damaged, but not a enough to warrant an exchange. I've seen the first few episodes and enjoyed them. Looking forward to watching the whole season. Great value as you get a digital copy as well.

    Based on the work of Stephen King, Castle Rock takes place in the fictional locale of Castle Rock, where strange things continue to happen. Although the series can be watched and judged on its own merits, there's no shortage of Easter eggs for long-time King fans. Definitely worth a look.

    For those of us without Hulu, this blu ray set is a love letter to Stephen King stories. This is an original mystery/thriller with supernatural elements (an a lot of King Easter eggs) with a solid cast and great direction.

    "Castle Rock" is an interesting anthology series based on the works of Stephen King that can be a hit & miss at times but overall works effectively. I'd highly recommend it for fans of the horror writer.

    So far what I've seen in the series is pretty good and I like some of the subtle references to the Stephen King universe within the show. I'm glad they are renewed for a second season.

    One of the better Stephen King adaptations. Starts off a bit slow, but definitely picks up towards the end of the season.
