Castle Rock • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Brandon Katz
For a purposely misleading series that prided itself on all its enigmas, Castle Rock answered its major questions in unexpected and impressive ways, while once again tying itself to the greater King universe.
The Verge
Noel Murray
The show starts getting good around episode three, once it cuts back on the direct King swipes and becomes more like a wholly original novel, exploring some of the author's usual thematic concerns and character types.
The New Republic
Julia Holmes
Castle Rock offers more than nostalgic horror; it shows the horrific nature of nostalgia.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
The lead performances are so consistently thoughtful - Holland's and Lynskey's especially - that when the supernatural inevitably intrudes, it makes Castle Rock feel less special.
Vanity Fair
Sonia Saraiya
But disappointingly, Castle Rock is much less of a studied character drama set in the Stephen King universe than it is an extended homage to and an imitation of the Stephen King universe, with the diminishing returns that implies.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
When it comes to Castle Rock itself, however, the final product of such an effort can ring a little hollow, like a remastered greatest hits album when a new smash is what the listener truly craves.
The New Yorker
Troy Patterson
The plenitude of incident creates an effect more like dilution than density, and it's hard to see the trees for the forest of allusion. Castle Rock sometimes feels like a grab bag of rehashed tropes.
Slate
Jack Hamilton
The show makes skillful use of its episodic medium, carefully pacing its storylines and building out its world while still making sure each hour is filtered through generous helpings of creepiness.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Castle Rock is a fresh take on an ages old trepidation, sharing the perpetual state of low-grade fright experienced by a number of people.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
There is perhaps an advantage in starting fresh.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
There are just a few too many King Easter eggs for the uninitiated to grasp, and not enough of King's trademark storytelling to grip you the way his novels do.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
You've heard the phrase, "The location is a character"? Here, the town of Castle Rock is an ungenerous co-star, elbowing out its colleagues.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
The King allusions turn into treats for those who recognize them rather than distracting reminders of classics this newcomer can't hope to live up to.
RogerEbert.com
Allison Shoemaker
When it tries to be a wonderland for King fans, it races past the line of referential, rounds through fan service, and steps into cliché, sometimes even inching toward self-parody.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Starts slow and gets better -- while an excellent cast (and lead, in Holland) front a story that's a little more psychological than supernatural in the early going.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Name-checking and drawing inspiration from various King works, the J.J. Abrams-produced show boasts a gaudy cast, but proves enamored with atmosphere while failing to scare up a compelling story.
TIME Magazine
Eliana Dockterman
All the usual components of a King story are here: religious dogma, abuses of power, creepy kids, psychic abilities. But Castle Rock sets itself apart from the rest of the King-verse, preserved in amber.
Vox
Karen Han
The closer Castle Rock hits to home, the scarier it gets, and the show is full of very true-to-life horrors.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Mr. Holland gives an appropriately layered portrayal of an off-balance character.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
"Castle Rock" is a giant basket of Easter eggs for King people, but for the rest of us it's a decent show layered with supernatural secrets waiting to be decoded.
