Hope everyone enjoys,

Overseas release hasn't been announced yet. I only know of one market outside of the US that is getting it (Canada).
Don't have Hulu so I can't watch it yet, hope it's good
I will be watching on the SPACE Channel (Canadian television) starting at 6 pm tonight until 9 pm. First 3 episodes are being televised 
Has anyone tuned in yet? I re-started Hulu for Castle Rock and am planning to watch tonight. Between this and 11/22/63 SK adaptations keep bringing me back to streaming services that I otherwise don't really use.
Is this the board to post to for discussion once I've had the chance to watch the available episodes?

Seems to be the right thread for discussions. Remember to use spoilers, as many may record and not watch the actual show nights.
Just finished first episode. Not sure what to think but willing to follow a bit longer.
As soon as my fella gets home, we're going to watch. 
Just started watching Episode 2. Episode 1 was terrific. Watch for (very) subtle references to specifics in SK books and movies.

Finished the first three episodes. I usually try to space out episodes to really absorb the content, but it's been a weird week, so I just kind of melted into the show. I haven't fully processed everything, so below are some unfiltered, first reaction thoughts:
First off, the cinematography is phenomenal. So, so visually stunning. The show, at least in the first three episodes, feels very much like a mystery/psychological thriller with supernatural elements. I have a feeling horror is on its way, but for now I am really enjoying the mystery.
Episode one didn't quite hook me initially. There was a lot of scene setting/character introductions, so that might have been why. I will say the unfolding of each character's story was brilliant, and towards the end I started to get more into the show. I will say that scene when Henry is talking to his client, Leanne, (who is on death row) about memory was stunning.
Episode two was phenomenal (the best out of the three). Those first five or so minutes of Lacy's voiceover introducing Castle Rock were just so brilliant visually and did an excellent job building on existing texts to create something original. I am going to have to go back and transcribe Lacy's introduction in the opening scenes. I also really appreciate all of the small details that continued from the first episode that contributed to the character development. Finally, the opening credits were a treat!
Episode three carried on the work of the previous episode, starting to further build up the mystery/suspense and threw in creepy kids and creepy masks as a bonus. It will be interesting to see where the plot goes. Henry is fabulous, but I am not quite digging Molly. I hope her character continues to develop.
General thoughts:
I didn't quite catch it until the end of the second episode, but did you all notice Dale Lacy signed his name "D.Lacy" as in DeLacey from Frankenstein (the sympathetic blind man who treats the creature with kindness). There's some interesting reflection on monsters throughout the three seasons, and I am wondering if we are going to get a character who is purely evil, or constructed evil. Signs seem to point to purely evil (poor mouse), but I have a feeling the show won't be that simple.
Is anyone having trouble remembering/catching names? For some reason I can only remember like three or four names of characters and have to look the rest up.
Finally, I think the commentary on healthcare, addiction, job insecurity, and the prison system fits very nicely with the larger plot of the show. I can see how those threads might develop further throughout the series and tie in to the more supernatural/horror elements.

Just finished Episode 2. The story is coming together now and it is getting more weird. The 3rd Episode starts now ....
Stephen King’s long reach extends into new series Castle Rock | The Star

Just finished the first episode and thought it was pretty good. Excellent cast. I agree with Alexandra M - a lot of the references were subtle. If Doc Creed watches this, he probably could point out a hundred additional references that I completely missed. 
Just finished watching Episode 3 and I highly recommend this series. IF i say anymore I will give something away. So
I will just say I think its great.

Can someone give me a blurb for how it starts? Also is Skarsgard supposed to be playing playing Randall Flagg? I ask because of his clothing in the trailer.
