11.22.63

11.22.63 was a show that spent eight weeks going absolutely nowhere and, much like Jake, we the viewers are left at the end having gained absolutely nothing, except fleeting, cruel glimpses of what could have been.

I’m sitting here, watching the seventh and penultimate episode of 11.22.63, running through my mind all the different ways this particular hour is annoying me.

11.22.63 looks like it may finally be getting its groove back.

All told, this is, again, a necessary episode, and does a good job of establishing all the hows of the investigation into Oswald.

But the suspension of disbelief required of the viewer in Hulu’s serialized adaptation of King’s 11.22.63 is almost too much, and very nearly ruins what’s a very enjoyable second half.
