This show is fabolous, and both viewers and critics agrees on it.
I must admit, when seeing this was on I had HUUUUUGE expectations due the "power" this series had. A stephen King novel is first of all a very good start, executive producer J.J. Abrams, and to top it all with the star James Franco. I was really really looking forward to this show, and I binged it over a weekend, I just couldnt help it. The set looks amazing and you can really feel that it represents the 60s.
There isn't much else I can say about this show without actually starting to spoil stuff, and we dont want those spoilers! Regarding if you are into history about the Kennedy assasination or not, this show is spot on.

James Franco is one of my favourite actor theese days, I actually started out hating him for his whiney boy role in spiderman. But luckily that wasnt a permanent thing, and his career has deffinently moved up up and up. With this show it is no exception, he plays the part very convincinly, and the rest of the cast around him is also propperly played.
This mini-series focuses on a Diner, that has some sort of hidden closet, when walking into it, it takes you back to the 60s, and when going back, what you changed is also changed in the real world, A high school teacher comes to this diner often and never about its secrets, when he finds out, his life changes forever.
Normally for TV shows its alright to watch the trailers, but for 11.22.63 I don't recommend it, you should watch the show instead and stay away from the trailer. I wont say it reveals much, but it does reveal enough in my oppinion.
However it is your own choise, and you can find the trailer here:
I hope you enjoyed reading this, and will consider watching this tv-show, as this is deffinently one of the better tv-shows out there.

In the reviews that I make, I try not to give out too much information, and keep the spoilers away, there is nothing fun about watching something and knowing everything in advance, not quite the same as watching it fresh.
