First episode I was just confused and it seemed a little slow. Second and third episodes more than made up for the first, definitely hooked.

I hadn't made that connection until reading your post, but totally! The setting (cold, snowy), character, search, and car (although, slightly different timelines).
Thanks for sharing this! I thought he was referred to as
Nick. Doesn't Zalewski say something to Henry about the guards referring to him as such because he's being monitored and that leads to "Nick at Night" and "Nick" for short? If he's also called "The Kid" is that maybe a reference or link to The Stand? I definitely don't see any links in physical appearance or circumstance between The Kid in The Stand and Skarsgard's character, so it will be interesting to see if the show makes any deeper links. Same thing with Jackie Torrance. Her full name is spoken in the second episode, I think, but it's listed as a spoiler on IMDB, so it seems like the link might be significant
Not sure if it was mentioned
I had a couple LOST moments watching these first few episodes.
In the scene where the cache of calendars is found one of them is dated 2043.
SPACE channel re ran the first episodes last night and watched them (again). How did I miss so much the first time around?
I noticed the denim jacket too, in E3. Sigmund is right, can't do anything else while watching this series, it's too intense. I am officially
obsessed with Castle Rock.

Loved it.
I thought the three was the total. And when the third ended I told DH there MUST be more, because even for a King story this ending is not an ending.

Greetings y'all! I know it's been awhile since I've been on and just wanted to say Castle Rock is not what I was expecting, but I'm loving this show!!! I like how they are making it a slow burn and for not just throwing out the whole season at once! To be honest, if they would've just put out the first episode and made me wait a week, I don't think I would've been as hooked. I intended to space them out and yeah, that didn't happen! I'm going to start my 3rd viewing of the available episodes today; hurry up Wednesday morning!!! Oh yeah, did anyone else wonder what made that howling noise on the first episode...Wendigo??
If you thought the first few episodes were kinda slow, wait until you get through episode 4.
Things ramp up...considerably.

Eeeeeeee!
I'm not watching anymore episodes. I'm saving them up for Labor Day weekend and binge.(I'll have been back at work for about four weeks by then and I need something to look forward to. )
Hope to watch episode 4 tonight. Looking forward to it! 
The young red-headed guard kept reminding me of someone and it was driving me batty. Finally realized he reminds me of Damian Lewis who played Jonesy in Dreamcatcher. 
Me too. I remembered he did a season on Law & Order: SVU as a crime scene guy who flippped out and also played one of the Hatfields/McCoys in the miniseries.The one that drove me nuts was the actress who plays Molly. I did some investigating and found that she was a guest star in an episode of Psych. What a relief!
She was in the Stephen King Miniseries Rose Red (Which served as her debut in television) as well as played Charlie Sheen's psychotic neighbor in Two and a Half Men.
I haven't seen any of the programs you mentioned, but did recognize the actress who plays Molly from the earlier seasons of Two and a Half Men.
Forgot about that one!
Just watched episode #4 and things are getting pretty intense. For me Castle Rock doesn't quite capture the flavor of classic King novels ( it reminds me more of the Fargo tv series), but definintely has me hooked. Now I have something to look forward to on wednesdays.
I was hoping "new episodes every Wednesday" meant three episodes. Oh well. I can wait as long as there's no smoke monster.
