Castle Rock on Hulu

[dcbc 14496]

Didn't see a thread on this yet.  I'm intrigued.  Premiers on July 25, 2018.

 

[dcbc 14496]

Bumping since it starts tomorrow.  Thought there'd be more interest.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5797]

Oh hell yeah, definitely in. This is gonna kick ass. I haven't seen anything about it before this thread.... 

[henrygandorf 29194]

i think people forgot about it.  i remember seeing the first trailer like last year.

[rage-a-holic 4417]

Pretty good after 3 but needs some nekkid Jane Levy.

[dcbc 14496]

Only about half way through episode 1, but the part about

Spoiler

Bill Scarsgard as the Shawshank warden's fuck doll

was a nice surprise.

Just watched the first episode.  Thought it was outstanding.  Great dialogue, creepy atmosphere, strong actor choices, lots of subtle visual clues to flesh out the exposition, and a general weird/mysteriousness that reminded me  of 'The Leftovers'.  

Tons of potential.  Really hope they can keep this up because that first episode had my full attention.

Thanks to King, I’ll never move to Maine. 

[Buzzrock 14935]

Damn, yet another subscription service to consider.

Netflix
Amazon Prime
YouTube
HBO (etc)
Hulu

The a la carte options are going to end up costing more than cable.

Disney/Marvel/Star Wars channel launches next year.

4 episodes in and it's still going strong.    Very underrated show.   Not sure how a show with these names attached to it can fly under the radar, but apparently, it is.  If you like creepy, psychological mysteries, it's worth watching. 

[mchookem 16342]

i don't understand what's happening and i love it

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Nice little episode last night... Our creepy boy just got a lot creepier.

[DDD Dad 14346]

Is this like Handmaid’s Tale with weekly releases? We binged through the first 3 episodes last night.

In.

[Chips O'Toole 1326]

Hulu does the weekly release with all their original shows.

[DDD Dad 14346]

So how many are out? 4? If so then I’m only one behind.

[Pato del Muerto 52535]

Started 2 tonight. While the lawyer is in the old warden’s office, he flips through a file of newspaper clippings. Each one is a King story, but I only recognized Stand by me and cujo. Did anyone catch the others?  Fire at an oddity store and something else. 

[Biff Tannen 45695]

Shit's good man.  No idea what is going on anymore though.

The fire one is needful things, and glenn's character Allen Pangborn was a main character

[Pato del Muerto 52535]

Ok. Seen that, never read it. And sissy spacek being in this is it own reference. More Easter eggs than I remember from other king stuff, but I guess that’s kind of the point that all this shit has happened in small town Maine. 

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Okay - think we've had our Stephen King "left turn" moment with Odin, Willie, and "the schisma".

[Biff Tannen 45695]

Shit is so confusing.

[RomaVicta 29949]

I wonder if the same HBO executive who oversaw Westworld is overseeing this. "Hey, let's play crazy games with time! That's really cool!"

They've lost me as to the chess pieces and Sissy's grasp of what is the now. Her "when is this?" is so similar to Arnold in Westworld that I fear that I will have PTSD flashbacks to the disintegration of that series.

King is a master story teller. I'll keep the faith even if I don't like the level of confusion right now.

Except King isn't the story teller for this series.

Thank God because he's a terrible story teller!

I kind of saw Westworld devolving so I stopped after the first episode this season.  I assume from your post that I was correct?

 I have to say yes. It doesn't improve. We watched every episode and ended up shaking our heads. 

[Pato del Muerto 52535]

This feels even worse than West world because at least the different timelines told different stories. 

This is just showing many of the same scenes, just from Carrie’s POV. 

Like watching a rerun the week after seeing  it for the first time. 

[DDD Dad 14346]

Is no one still watching this?

WTF did I just watch last night?

[henrygandorf 29194]

i'm a couple behind, but i'll be back.  bachelor in paradise isn't gonna watch itself.

You saw the universes of "Black Henry" and "White Henry" scrape against each other... when they're in each other's universes, they're fucked up.

Remember the "Schisma" is the sound of those universes conflicting/coming together/etc.

Yeah, I felt like I was watching "Counterpart-New England"

[nycHorn 3038]

Wow.  Episode 8 & 9 have been fantastic.

[Chet Steadman 940]

Just finish Ep 9.  Tomorrow is the season finale.  

Are the “devilish” things which happen around Skisgard the universe’s way (or schism) trying to corrrect what’s wrong with the switch?

Once I realized/they showed that this was the issue, I tried to recall how the langoliers  went down. Maybe the same thing, but I can’t recall much of that story. 

[DDD Dad 14346]

Still lost after watching season finale.

[Pato del Muerto 52535]

I don’t understand black henry’s motivation to keep white Henry in the wrong dimension. Or the girl’s willingness to just walk away. 

[BNB 100]

I stopped after 4 I think. I am assuming not worth finishing.
