11.22.63
SCORE: 57
I have an interest in certain topics, and kinds of television shows.
11.22.63 caught my interest because there is a time travel element to
it. There are eight episodes that make up 11.22.63. The watch time of
the episodes of 11.22.63 range from forty-three minutes to one hour and
twenty minutes. The issues families can have with 11.22.63 are violence,
blood, bad language, sex outside of marriage, racism, nudity, lack of
attire, enticement to lust, and more.
There are attacks on men in 11.22.63 that makes me think this show might
be part of the war on men. There are a ton of attacks on the 1950s and
1960s in 11.22.63. There are also attacks on Christians in 11.22.63.
There are some serious horror elements to 11.22.63. There will be
spoilers in the rest of my review of the 11.22.63 television show. In my
research after watching the show I discovered that 11.22.63 was on Hulu
first and recently came over to Netflix.
Jake is a high school teacher that finds out about a secret this diner
owner has. There is a closest that can take you back to the past - 1960
to be precise. The missions is to stop the assassination of JFK. The
owner of the diner Al believes the world would be so much better if
Kennedy has just lived back then. The mystery is to discover if Lee
Harvey Oswald did it or was a Russian agent, or working for the CIA.
The way to survive back then is to bet since you know who will win all
of these different boxing events. Jake is so wishy washy in 11.22.63. He
is going for it, and then he decides not to, and then he does. It is
this back and forth for ever in the show. Every time you go back in time
you reset it. This is an important plot point in 11.22.63. Jake saves
the janitor at his school from a horrific attack from the janitor's own
father.
Jake meets Sadie Dunhill and they fall in love. The past will fight you
if you try to change it. Jake eventually stops the assassination of JFK,
and Sadie dies. Jake comes back to the present to discover that things
got way worse in America and the world. So he goes back to reset it.
Jake wants to get with Sadie again but this bum from the past tells him
she will just die again. which is interesting because right before
stopping Lee Harvey Oswald that same bum offers Jake a way home with
Sadie.
My biggest issue with 11.22.63 is that at the end of the day nothing
really happened. All of that time and all of the effort for nothing.
Jake got beat really bad because he was winning bets. Talk about sore
losers. It is almost like the writers forgot their own logic and changed
the rules to get a different ending. It comes from Stephen King so I am
not exactly surprised there.
