Hercules Loves Loves Loves
This Week’s CASTLE ROCK!!

Tonight’s “Castle Rock” finally reveals the identity of that guy they found in Shawshank’s basement. His name is not Pennywise. This episode made me fall in love with a troubled cat named Puck. I would love to say more.  It starts streaming 11:59 p.m. PT on Hulu.

Hulu says of “Henry Deaver”:

A world beyond these walls.

The Hollywood Reporter says:

... [Mayans MC] fails utterly to replicate or even emulate much of what Sons of Anarchy actually did best. … treats every one of its characters as pieces to be moved relentlessly around the chess board by their creators, not as people with motivations or agency of their own.

Variety says:

... While not every new series needs to be easily mappable to a 400-year-old play, too many of the revelations in the first two episodes fail to spark interest. …

The Hollywood Reporter says:

... Maybe for a second season, get DeMonaco and his team to create the framework and some notable new rules before turning the story and characters entirely over to a completely new group of writers. Otherwise, for better and more often worse, The Purge will just be more of the same.…

Variety says:

... the thing that keeps “The Purge” from becoming the great bit of social horror it seems to be striving towards is how painfully underthought the relationship between subject and viewer is. …
