More Critic Reviews for 11.22.63 Miniseries All Critics (64) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (53) | Rotten (11) A Hulu winner. Feb 15, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic A clean, direct adaptation of King's novel, in all the best ways. Feb 15, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic The eight-part miniseries, which begins streaming Monday, immaculately recreates the era - but it's also, at its beating heart, an exquisite romance about sacrifice and the perils of optimism. Feb 15, 2016 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Vicki Hyman Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic Hulu's most ambitious original project... a well-crafted period look and an engaging leading man in Franco. But that slow pace makes it tough for viewers to stick around long enough to learn if Jake ever becomes the hero he's striving to be. Feb 15, 2016 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic That the limited series squeaks by as just entertaining enough is a disappointment considering the pedigree of everyone involved and the reputation of its source material. Time travel and Dealey Plaza deserve better. Feb 15, 2016 | Full Review… Mark Peikert TheWrap Top Critic Despite its flaws, 11.22.63 ends up closing the deal in a way that for the most part makes it a long, strange time travel worth taking. Feb 15, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic While "11.22.53" never really reaches the level of craftsmanship of "House of Cards" or "The Man In the High Castle," it makes up for it in it's immense "can't stop watching" entertainment value. Jan 15, 2020 | Full Review… Brad Miska Bloody Disgusting The pilot was an absolute home run, setting up a slate of fascinating characters with complex dynamics and a world of opportunity. Jan 15, 2020 | Full Review… Bryan Bishop The Verge Despite its occasional clumsiness, 11.22.63 is an entertaining effort. Jan 15, 2020 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant There is still so much story to tell in 11.22.63, so many triumphs and mischances awaiting, but "The Rabbit Hole" started on such strong footing that the rest of the journey feels like it's in the bag. Jan 15, 2020 | Full Review… Meredith Borders Birth.Movies.Death. Overall, however, the series makes for decent passive television, something that can be consumed while simultaneously preoccupied with another passive activity. Jan 15, 2020 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba This is a good old-fashioned (by which I mean 1990s) quirky thriller for which Franco is perfectly cast. Jan 15, 2020 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily View All Critic Reviews (64) Audience Reviews for 11.22.63: Miniseries May 22, 2020 Wonderful mini series. Enjoyed every episode, every character. Hats off to Stephen King. Mohammed S Mar 29, 2020 One of the better mini-series I've seen, and it has given me new respect for the acting skills of James Franco. But Sarah Gadan as Sadie steals the show. And that's hard to do with Chris Cooper in this film. Kirby W Feb 25, 2020 A very well told story by stephen King, an excellent James Franco, and a very moving ending Tony D Jan 31, 2020 If you are a fan of this book and King's work, then this miniseries is NOT for you. Candidly, I didn't even make it through the first episode, so take this review for what it's worth (about 40 min of screen time). Even in that span, Abrams takes liberties with the sequence of events that does not build any suspense or intrigue and actually makes it more difficult to follow. He makes Jake seem like a profound idiot not someone you hope "saves" America. Like most King adaptations, Abrams tries to take it in his own way and out-think the King. Not good. Dexter P Dec 07, 2019 Best show ever james franco did it again man! Loved everything about it love the scifi and the comedy and the horror and the love :) fav actor! Anthony P Dec 06, 2019 Just like the amazing book by Stephen King, this thing keeps you on the edge of your seat, with curve balls, ideas of time travel never written before, riveting acting by Franco, and TAKE you thereby nto the early 60s, a world this generation knows little about. Wow. Chris H Nov 29, 2019 SPOILERS: Future self, don't read this review and just watch it. This is one of those shows that has you at the edge of your seat every moment with an interesting premise with a seemingly flimsy beginning execution. Once the ball starts rolling do you really see the the premise unfold into this grandeur drama. The actors in the show were extremely phenomenal as you really do become invested in them as living beings and as actual people rather than just characters. Each one has their own personalities and motives and is not afraid to follow through with them unabashedly. The great actors are complemented by the fantastic plot and writing. With each person having their own stories, progression, struggles and lives to the point where everything is so intertwined and things add up that all makes sense. I'd definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves a thriller with a time travel esque premise and a story set more so in the 1960s. Personal read: I'm not one to squirm at shows but there were some parts that constantly had me tense for the full episode near the middle of there series when you're unsure what the past may throw at you. Plenty of shocks, horrors, sad moments and surprises. For instance, (real spoilers) there was a part near the beginning when Jake messes with the past and thinks he got away with it but then a fire engulfed his residence and took the life of this innocent kid and I was just so shook by that moment. The rest of the series when Jake messes with the past I'm on edge because I'm not sure what will happen next because the show will literally throw everything and anything at you. Another sad moment (actual spoilers) was when Bill kills himself and I was literally contemplating how this came to be and how sad it was that all these small little events and triggers caused him to get with Marina, compromise the mission, get sent to the hospital and then lead to his death and it MAKE SENSE but it still leaves a scar on you because you cared for this character so much and you just want him to succeed and keep living but you know that the character does what he's thinking. Another sad moment (actual spoilers) is when you realize that Jake and Sadie can never be together even though they work so well together. At the end when Jake lets her go and has his closure do you realise the immense pain and sadness he feels that this person is truly the one but it won't work out and he can't be with her and it's better to let her have the "good life she deserves" rather than try to change the past but enjoy the good times and move on instead of being the "past spirit" and getting stuck in a loop. It kinda makes you think about how you should just enjoy the moment, and cherish the past instead of anguishing or trying to change it and moving on. I didn't think that was the message at the beginning but seeing these characters go through all this pain and suffering made me realize this. James V Nov 23, 2019 Performances are subpar, pacing is horrible, the characters that weren't in the book but added for the series are pointless and distracting. Overall disappointing. However compelling enough to keep me watching throughout the whole series. Eric A Oct 23, 2019 Exceptional acting , a creative story that keeps you wondering 'whats next" In my opinion a masterpiece David K Oct 08, 2019 Really good series! FPSKYLE BROUGHT ME HERE!
