I ended up really liking this adaptation of the Stephen King story where the guy goes back in time to try and save JFK, even though they changed a lot of what I loved about the book. But the core of the story is still there, and even James Franco can’t take away from how immersive this version of the past feels (an area where a lot of time travel stories falter). I’m glad they didn’t try to extend this into an ongoing show, because it ended on the same perfect note as the novel.
