Has anyone seen "11.22.63"?

I just started it and it seems pretty good so far. Is it worth watching?

when it was released previously. Unless this is a new version, I dunno. I got bogged down somewhere in the middle. Same with the book.

a teacher travels back in time trying to stop the assassination, but that results in something much worse.

A memory from that movie: 'Food tasted better then,' a very believable statement.

and it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really compelling, either.

I just don't know what the movie was trying to say.

So, I can't recommend it but it kept me watching to the end. I don't know why, I guess I was just bored.

The show was OK. The book was much better.

Sarah Gadon was very good in it as opposed to the creepy James Franco.

Twilight Zone had an excellent episode starring Russell Johnson of Gilligan's Island 🏝️

He travels back in time and attempts to warn authorities that John Wilkes Booth plans to kill Abraham Lincoln..

No spoilers here.... Stephen King fans will enjoy the "alternate timeline" that King presents.
