Castle Rock

Had to wait a few days to write this. I loved the series leading up to the finale. The penultimate episode was the best of the lot. Great expectations for the end but I was let down. I understand the need to allow the audience to write their own conclusions but could you have at least offered better clues to enable them to do so? The ambiguity was totally unnecessary. Reward your fan base with some type of resolution. I'll give season 2 a go for now but I'm sure some people won't even bother.

Well, I have to start saying that I enjoyed season one pretty much. The first thing I want to give credits for is Bill Skarsgård. He is proving one more time that he is an excellent actor and he does amazing in horror/thriller movies/tv shows. I will keep watching everything he does. Second thing...Stephen King has an amazing mind and creativity. I love watching everything related to him. The story is unique, has a very dark ton and is very engaging. I enjoyed very much!

Season two hasnt done the same to me. I guess I was expecting a more realistic story and...well, I'll try one more time.

It's a great show. Season 2 is quality. All the references to Stephen king books and how they tie in to the series is just brilliant. Lizzy makes a superb Annie Wilkes.

I wasn't going to write a review, but after seeing the majority of people giving this 5 stars or less, I felt like I had to. Preface - I am not an avid reader of King's books, but I appreciate the films I have seen. This show was well written, acted, and had really beautiful cinematic moments. And yes - it's confusing, but it all gets explained in episode 9 and 10. Now, if you're not a fan of mystery or supernatural-ish/alternate realities, this is not for you. And if you want an answer to something right away, forget it. In my opinion, I disagree with those stating that it's poorly paced, slow, boring and written badly. There is a reason why the show flows the way it does. It kept my attention the entire time, so much so, that I didn't ever look at my phone (that's saying a lot).

I can't see how people can leave negative reviews when the show is only a few episodes in! Thankfully I'm a bit more patient. I'm enjoying it so far and I'm intrigued to know where it's heading.
