EXPLAINED: Netflix just got a gripping sci fi thriller series made for weekend binge watching | Rare Historical Photos

(L-R) Sarah Gadon as Sadie Dunhill and James Franco as Jake Epping in "11.22.63".

Stephen King might be considered the “King of Horror,” but as much as I enjoy his chilling novels like “Carrie” and “IT,” it’s actually his 2011 time-travel mystery “11/22/63” that ranks as my top King tome of all time. And like so much of the best-selling author's work, it was quickly adapted for the screen back in 2016; the result is an engaging eight-episode sci-fi thriller miniseries.

Airing on Hulu upon its original release, “11.22.63” has just switched sides in the streaming space and resurfaced on Netflix. Combining espionage-style thrills and an exciting time-travel trip to a turning point in United States history, this miniseries is the perfect binge-watch over a single weekend. And even better, it comes full circle, giving you a definitive conclusion by the end. There’s no unsatisfying, unfulfilled tease for a second season here, just a great series.
