Kennedy (Christopher Phipps) on November 22, 1963, and he's decided he wants to prevent the assassination - thereby preventing the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and likely of Martin Luther King, Jr, and even the onset of the Vietnam War. Al has dedicated years (during which present day Jake merely ate a burger and signed his divorce papers) toward researching the assassination of President John F. No matter how much time Al spends back in 1960, when he returns through the portal, only two minutes have passed in current time. Al comes to Jake with a stunning revelation: proof beyond any doubt that his diner hides a portal back in time to October 21, 1960, in Lisbon, Maine. I just want more 11.22.63 immediately, because 'The Rabbit Hole' is, simply put, a great episode of television.Ī quick summary: Jake Epping (James Franco) is a divorced and professionally unfulfilled English teacher with exactly one friend, diner owner Al (Chris Cooper). That's not to say that Hulu's more traditional model is less valid than Netflix's marathon method - there's something to be said for the suspense and careful plotting associated with weekly chapters, an approach that should work quite well for a narrative this vast and surprising. The first episode, 'The Rabbit Hole,' started streaming on the service as of yesterday, and most viewers are probably already wishing they could binge the entire eight-episode run over a weekend. It didn't take long for me to become sold on Hulu's miniseries 11.22.63, the time-traveling JFK assassination yarn that is an adaptation of, to my mind, the best Stephen King novel of this millennium.
