In this breakdown, I dive into the 2016 miniseries 11/22/63, based on the Stephen King novel. Starring James Franco, the show follows a man who discovers a portal to 1960 and attempts to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But as he learns, time fights back — and every choice comes with consequences.
This episode explores what makes 11/22/63 so special, why it’s still underrated, and how its themes of fate, love, and history make it one of the most overlooked TV adaptations of the past decade.
