The TVI Take
Hulu's 2016 limited-series adaptation of King's 2011 alternate-history novel about a high-school teacher (James Franco) traveling back to 1960 to prevent the JFK assassination. The structural commitment to letting period-Dallas specificity (the social architecture, the small-town textures, the historical-figure cameos) be the actual subject is rare prestige-limited-series work.
Among the strongest King television adaptations.
