Castle Rock - From J.J. Abrams & Stephen King - Wednesdays on Hulu
- Thread starter browinie
- Start date
What it generally does is makes me wait until the season is over then I watch it all at once.
Yep, I cancel after I have finished a show I am interested in. The funny thing is, I probably wouldn't cancel if they stopped with this weekly release nonsense.
The series so far does a better depiction of the the Derry evil malignant cancerous town thing with Castle Rock than any other King adaption. For that reason almost alone it feels pure King. I hope it delivers.
I'm about to stop using my sisters account and subscribe to Hulu for this
I'm also about to immediately unsubscribe to Hulu for putting out the rest of the episodes one week at a time.
Shit is straight up not acceptable these days

Got around to watching the first episode last night and thought it was brilliant. The episode starts really well and ends on a high, everything in between had my undivided attention. The homage paid to King's stories is also apparent and I can't wait to watch another episode tonight.
Yes you should. You can buy season 1 on amazon digital and it's not expensive. Maybe give the first episode a go and see if it grabs you.

Even if you can't stand the tooth monster, each season is completely different. 4th season starts right before this Halloween.
Yeah there are some shots that are better than others but you're right.
That's like $8 USD!
It better be worth it! lol
Anyways, does anyone know how many episodes this season is going to have? The show's Wiki page only has 4 listed so far.
I'm not sure I like the show. 3 episodes in and I don't know what's the point of the show. Can anyone explain the plot? Is the Lawyer gonna set the devil free?
One of my complains is the acting with the lady that has powers. She seems like a really serious character but the high pitchess of her voice and the way she speaks makes all her scenes come off kinda off...funny? You compare her to the actress that plays the same character but younger version comes off with a bit more gravitas.
They knew what they were doing by making season one about The Reason why Castle Rock is evil.
You're three episodes in and you want the entire season arc?
I mean, it's set in the Stephen King universe where the Overlook and the Shining ability exists and she has psychic connections. She's likely a family relative
Probably don't want people to burn through a season and cancel their sub.
If I'm mainly looking for horror is this the show for me?
Not really? there's some dead animals but no real in your face gore and there's zero sex scenes.
She does seem miscast in this. I got excited when I saw her sister was the main actress from the first season of Fargo but she hasn't popped up again.
Great show.
It highlights why I never use my Hulu account on PC though. Both Firefox and Edge, which I have never even used until this, instantly log me out as soon as I log in. Chrome works fine but it was annoying having to redownload it after the other two big browsers wouldn't work.

Explain for me please:
To what extent does this show connect or share timelines with previous Stephen King stories?
How is this meant to be an anthology? Will next year have a different setting with the same cast? Or the same setting with a different cast? Will it be rebooted completely for Season 2?

Literally no one knows this or if there even will be a season 2. This is the first week of the first season.
To say that the show is "an anthology" implies that there will be significant year-to-year changes. I'm curious what they really mean by this though, since different "anthology" shows work different ways. If they're already calling it an anthology then they certainly have plans for new seasons, even if those subsequent seasons haven't been greenlighted.
I take it to mean that this season is a series of new stories set in the fictional town of Castle Rock where many other stories have taken place. In this story, Cujo, the Dark Half, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and Needful Things occurred. This is just another series of characters interacting in that world.

Castle Rock will tell original stories it shares no timelines with King's works, it does however take locations, themes, and narrative inspirations directly from he's books. There's a long interview with the creators Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason at Collider.

Sam Shaw said:
Thanks, I watched the first episode, and it's exactly the type of psychological stuff I dig. Good stuff.
Watched the three episodes this weekend and I'm hooked. Looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds and what the future holds for the series.
Really enjoyed the first three, but was under the impression before that it was an anthology in the style of the Twilight Zone, with a different story each episode.
