Plots(1)
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy was killed and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Jake Epping (James Franco), a high school English teacher who encouraged by his ailing friend (Chris Cooper) travels back in time to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Delving into the darkness of the American dream, viewers are transported to the world of 1960's Texas as Jake explores the mystery surrounding the supposed gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, his family and associates. But Jake's mission faces threats not only from Oswald, but from Sadie Dunhill, a beautiful librarian he falls in love with and from the Past itself, which doesn't want to be changed. And if the Past doesn't want to be changed, it will push back, often violently. (Roadshow Entertainment)

Three and a half stars. James Franco, Sarah Gadon, the retro atmosphere and the first and last episode are great, but in the meantime I was quite bored here and there. The biggest flaw of King's novel, that is, the sprawl during Jake's teaching, was removed, but it was replaced by another flaw - the completely unnecessary character of Bill and the large amount of space the script devoted to him. Otherwise, I didn't mind the changes from the book.
