Eight episode Hulu mini series starring James Franco, based on Stephen King's book and produced by JJ Abrams. Franco goes back in time trying to investigate and prevent the assassination of JFK.

The premise is great but execution not as good. Really seems they made it for a lower brow audience and Franco isn't the most engaging lead. Expect a cheesier show than what the premise could provide.

All that said, it can be an entertaining watch. Canadian actress Sarah Gadon plays an adorable southern belle. The 1960's production design is amazing and includes many classic cars and fashion. The best part is that some viewers will fall down their own rabbit hole to seek out other media and books about the fascinating JFK assassination.
