11.22.63 (2016)

11.22.63 follows an ordinary high school teacher who discovers a portal that sends him back to October 21, 1960, and accepts a mission to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. What begins as a quest to solve one of the 20th century’s great mysteries becomes a tense, character-driven journey: the farther he goes, the more the past resists, secrets multiply, and his original objective grows tangled with new loyalties and a powerful romantic attachment to the life he builds there. Viewers can expect richly rendered period detail and a slow-burning mix of suspense, moral quandary and heartbreak as the series toggles between detective-like investigation, emotional intimacy, and the looming stakes of changing history. The show balances mystery and political intrigue with intimate drama, asking whether preventing a tragedy is worth the cost of altering countless lives — including your own. Overall it’s a thoughtful, often tense eight-episode event that delivers twists, emotional payoff, and a haunting exploration of fate, consequence and the pull of the past.
