Last week a friend at work mentioned this show they just finished watching called Castle Rock. I gave it a look see and was hooked instantly.

How had I never heard of this show before? Maybe because it was on hulu and instead of releasing the whole season, they were releasing weekly episodes like a dick. Luckily for me I found out about the show at the end of the season and over the course of the last 2.5 days I am now finshed with season 1.

Holy Balls!

I thought it was fantastic! Here is the google synopsis.

The Stephen King multiverse is the setting for this psychological horror series that takes place in Castle Rock, Maine, which is a location familiar to fans of King's work. "Castle Rock" explores themes and worlds that unite King's canon, including the infamous Shawshank Prison. An anonymous phone call lures death-row attorney Henry Deaver back to Castle Rock. He is unsettled by his hometown, but he returns to help a sinister, mostly mute man being kept in a cage underneath Shawshank. Sissy Spacek and Bill Skarsgård, who starred in feature adaptations of King's "Carrie" and "It," respectively, are among the show's stars.

I wouldn't classify this as horror. It is not overly gory and there aren't any jump scares. This is what I would call suspense drama. I wrote a list of elements of other shows in this one. So if you are a fan of any of these, you should check out Castle Rock.

What I loved the most were all the twists and turns. Just when you think you know what is happening.... you don't. All the way up until the end. If you have a short attention span or get confused easily, this might not be for you.

All of the acting was top notch. All of the references to other Stephen King works were fantastic. (Tons of Easter eggs)

👍I give this 9 out of 10 eyebrow wiggles.👍
