Castle Rock (TV Series) Henry Deaver (2018) User Reviews

Then The Kid was also crossing the lands of The Dark Tower

[KikyNez · 9/10 · 7 September 2018]

Well, as a huge Stephen King fan, this episode gave me all the vibes of THE SAGA from this awesome writer.

For those who don't know: a Thinny is a kind of rift between time and space that occurs through the saga, taking characters from alternates worlds to others.

And this is what is happenning in Castle Rock.

I saw some things comming, because I had that feelings since episode 2, The Kid said things that were a clue. We allnow know who The Kid is, we should know from before, because some phrases, because how he acted with Ruth: he is her biological son, the one in the timeline we were watching she lost at childbirth. He is Henry Deaver. And he got trapped in a thinny, and send from his world to the adopted Henry Matthew Deaver's world and in a past time line.

This episode is full of details we've seen in previous ones, that were a hint, and the writers throw all in our faces: This is Stephen King's world, and here his rules apply.

All in all, I cannot wait how it will end, how the writers will wrap up everything, and how the characters are gonna react to the truth.

This episode was a complete DELIGHT to me.

I love this series. I hope next season be as good as this one.

That was a HF!

Wow! Loved this series and this episode peaked even the previous one, and Sissy Spacek et al have some serious Emmys heading Castle Rock way. So far have loved the slow burn of plot, but this episode's change of 'everything' had my head exploding. Not watched the last episode yet but really hope they have a season 2. Great quality SK fiction. Almost reaches the heights of The

Leftovers in some places .. though I doubt anything will touch that quality for sometime.. This and Mr Mercedes makes me think TV has finally nailed the genius of Mr Stephen King...

The big denouement

[jwwalrath-227-85487 · 10/10 · 6 September 2018]

The big revelations arrive. Although you can kind of guess some of them, it is all pretty impressive. You finally get to see what makes the Kid tick, and Skarsgard gives a wonderful performance.

The Ending

[danielleremsing · 9/10 · 5 September 2018]

My favorite episode by far. It was amazing to finally hear Bill have actual dialogue. The ending had my mouth open... the show is starting to get reaaaalllly good.

Whaaaaaattttt!!!!????

[coolliegal4 · 9/10 · 5 September 2018]

Now that's how you do suspense/sci-fi! What?! The episode before this kind of annoyed me but this picked up the pace again. I had my mouth wide open for many of the scenes with the shocking revelations and just how amazingly well the story was put together. But man was it heart breaking at the end. Loved it.

Come again?

[karmakay · 9/10 · 5 September 2018]

My brain went crossed eyed in this episode, much like staring at a magic picture...your eyes have to go askew to see the picture within. Mind blowing as I felt sorry for all the lead characters. Was this a different timeline? Are they both!! Henry Deaver..? Biting my nails til the last episode.

Mind bending stuff!!!

[thallapallisharath · 10/10 · 5 September 2018]

Brilliant and confusing can't wait for the FINALE. Kudos to the direction specially the Kid gives me chilled in the bone till the last episode but in this episode what is happening???

Colorado Kid

[lee_pugh1974 · 9/10 · 10 September 2018]

This series is amazing, partly due to the fact you never know, at any given time what everything going on means. One thing I fail to realise though is that no-one ever references the Colorado Kid connection even though the 27 year thing has been mentioned

"Blood will run in the streets until he is back in the cage."

[classicsoncall · 8/10 · 7 February 2023]

This episode takes everything you've seen before and turns it completely on its head. Clues to what happens in this story were offered in prior ones that hinted at the past and present existing at the same time with the potential of multiple realities. We saw that particularly with Molly's (Melanie Lynskey) visions and Ruth Deaver's (Sissy Spacek) lapses of memory with her Alzheimer's condition. Still, for the uninitiated with Stephen King's style of writing, the apparent lack of continuity can be frustrating and confusing. The idea of multiple timelines through which characters can cross over isn't explicitly spelled out, so that takes some getting used to. It's quite clever how the writers and filmmakers bring you right back to the beginning of the larger story with the adult Kid/Henry Deaver (Bill Skarsgård) observing the rescue of the young adopted Henry Deaver on the frozen lake. Try not to analyze it all too closely, it will only make your head hurt.

Henry Deaver

[bobcobb301 · 6/10 · 6 September 2018]

An almost Are You Afraid of the Dark feel to this one, but I still think the show is sending us in the wrong direction. It was supposed to be a mystery about who and what The Kid is and now it has turned into a completely alternative universe. I know that Stephen King stories tend to drift aimlessly, but this is taking it to the extreme.

Curious to see how Season 1 wraps up, but the show is kind of struggling to find its identity.

You believe me, Dont you?

[matiasbockerman · 9/10 · 5 September 2018]

I was confused most of the time during this episode...I nearly think they going to ruin this spectacular series, but I was so wrong. Ending minutes I was so thrilled and I have to ask this: is Castle Rock one of the best series this year including Handmaids Tale and Westworld second seasons? Im not sure can those series compared to this. Must watch again...I'm so exited to see final episode.

What did I just watch?

[philneil · 6 September 2018]

The jury is out on this one. I'll hold my opinion until the end.

I just hope this is not going to leave us with more questions than answers.

TV series these days seem to drag & drift, back & forth, and if it were not for the fact that they are streamed, then most would be nigh on impossible to follow.

The series as a whole is plodding on, but it also crawls incoherently backwards. One would assume that retaining an audience would be paramount yet this series seems to go out of its way to be tedious, unfathomable & intolerable.

Even if answers are ultimately provided will any one still be around to witness them?

I got lost.

[mjcgt · 3/10 · 6 September 2018]

Im so trying to like this series. But it really makes it hard. I wish they would bring the kings stories into the series. Now its just huge pile of nothing.

Better the devil you know

[patrick-lafont · 9/10 · 10 September 2018]

This episode is taking us one step farther into the mystery. I'm guess the finale won't answer all questions, they obviously want to keep us going for at least another season, but I hope that if we watch the whole season in a row it is still coherent and even that we can find answers.

When I was watching the episode 'The Queen' I immediately thought she's not all that crazy and she's found a way to cope with her condition. Was she only travelling in her memories or was there any time travel too? then again, I also hoped that Di Caprio wasn't crazy in Shutter Island, so there's a pattern there...

Started really well

[vonwilhelm22 · 3/10 · 14 September 2018]

And then got completely convoluted. The storyline jumps all over the place

What a confused mess

[professor_of_gamez · 5/10 · 11 December 2020]

Jeez. My first reaction upon viewing this is that if the writers of the different episodes (for all I know, the same person'people) don't talk to each other, at the very least they should watch each other's episodes.

I just read the above "story line" AFTER watching the episode ... and wondered allowed : "THAT'S what happened?" How would anyone, without the benefit of the story line, know that THAT'S what happened?

Anyone who claims they did is just lying to themselves.
