Some good elements of old-style King which really makes it very watchable show.
No more comedy like "Under the dome" or a sad excuse for screening of an amazing book like "11/22/63" that turned out to be... well, I don't know what it was but definitelly something veeery disappointing.
"Castle Rock" is good, or even very good. So far, the level of creepiness is satisfying and the story is fine slow-paced with some "wow" elements.
Hope it gets even better.

Been watching every episode so far, and for the life of me can't figure out what the hell the plot is even suppose to be. They were obviously trying to go for a darker version of Twin Peaks, except the characters in Castle Rock aren't interesting at all. And the main character is stiff as a board. The only interesting character was the young prison guard, who of course got killed off. And the whole advertisement about Kings novels being incorporated into the story is false, they're more like easter eggs. I guess if you're a fan of the King novels where it takes forever to get to the point, then you may like it. But if you like to be at the edge of your seat like me, this show may not be for you.

This show is truly creepy! The characters are truly creepy, but the creepiest part for me is the town itself. The directors of each episode truly make you feel that Castle Rock is empty and you can imagine it being home to great terrors. Bill Skarsgard is amazing in his role. He does not speak very much, but he is truly captivating and every scene he is in I am just absolutely enthralled. Sissy Spacek is amazing as always, she plays a very convincing senile woman. The show is very slow, but new information is steadily trickled slowly throughout the episodes. There are many big mysteries that keep you interested as well. I will not spoil, but Scott Glenn's eponymous character Alan Pangborn has many secrets about the town of Castle Rock that ties to the show's central mysteries, but the writers do a good job of tantalizing the audience. I suggest this show for anyone, it is amazing, but the only downside is how slow it is at times.
