I loved this book and was looking forward to the mini-series, hoping they wouldn't fail like they did with Under the Dome. Once again they took a great book and completely changed the story for no reason. It is a good show, worth watching but be prepared to be disappointed if you loved the book.

A beautiful portrayal of the ups and downs of time travel, James Franco is superb and supported by a supremely talented cast. Daniel Webber depicts Lee Harvey Oswald so exceptionally well it's worth watching just for his performance. Lucy Fry and Sarah Gadon were both outstanding! There is a very deep and focused character development throughout the mini series, with an impressive array of emotions. Sometimes it's a thriller, sometimes it's sad, overall just a tremendous effort from JJ Abrahms, Stephen King and everyone involved.Shot in a classic 1960s vibe with a score that fits so well to the overall story.Please do yourself a favour and start this as soon as possible, I guarantee you will watch parts of it more than once.

It certainly could have been a lot shorter - it definitely drags along there in the middle, and I liked the ending... but again it really didn't do nearly what it could have, IMO.Franco's character is a big problem with the series. I didn't read the book so I'm not sure if he's supposed to be this kinda part dimwit part dickhead but that's really how it played... for me.In retrospect I guess maybe 7 is a bit high, but I did like the ending. To be honest I mostly had it on in the background but I feel like if I'd payed closer attention I'd have been more disappointed.A really thourough look into the Kennedy assassination would have to be a whole mini-series, and while some of that is approached in this series it is mostly window dressing to move the plot along - it would have been more interesting to have it be front and center and ask some of the really tough questions - which it fails to do....Still, it was entertaining, I'd give it a 6.5 rounded up to 7...

I know it's only science-fiction/fantasy but 11.22.63 is incredibly egregiously socially irresponsible in it's portrayal of Oswald, George de Mohrenschildt and the happenings before the Kennedy assassination. King would've been better off leaving the details a mystery than making the choices he did. I really don't think he's as well versed as he should've been to take on this subject matter.I've been told he consulted Gerald Posner, the CIA's mouthpiece for Kennedy Assassination misinformation. I'm very disappointed in Stephen King. He usually displays better sense and his moral compass is usually right on the mark.The content is so putrid the good performances of Franco and Gadon are negated as is the direction and production.SPOILER ALERT in my SPOILER ALERT: After watching the entire mini-series. It was even worse than I thought. In Stephen King's world Kennedy never does anything of importance and because he lives the world is a barren wasteland. What a shite sandwich that was. This is, no doubt, the Warren Commision's version of how Kennedy surviving the assassination attempt would be. So, that's why I'm going on IMDb to give this 1 star.
