We all love a gripping Stephen King tale and have been spoiled with a constant stream of cinematic adaptations of his best work. And, because King projects are so steadily produced, we sometimes overlook some hidden gems. One of these hidden gems is the thrilling sci-fi limited series 11.22.63 via Hulu, which remains one of the most underrated titles in all the land. Allow us to give you a brief crash course in the almost-forgotten series.
Per the Hulu Synopsis,
“Imagine having the power to change history. Would you journey down the “rabbit hole?” This eight–part event series follows Jake Epping (James Franco), an ordinary high school teacher, presented with the unthinkable mission of traveling back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Jake travels to the past in order to solve the most enduring mystery of the 20th century: who killed JFK, and could it have been stopped? But as Jake will learn, the past does not want to be changed. And trying to divert the course of history may prove fatal.”
