Great mini-series project. Without spoiling the plot, I will say that there is a greater focus on the fictional characters than the real-life historical figures. That's because we won't ever know what life would be like if we could change the past. It's the bitter-sweet part of life. Changing the past could cause us to lose what we have right now. Yet, we always yearn to turn back the hands of time. In my opinion, "11.22.63" is very thought-provoking and well-done. A few of the characters are not properly developed (Ms. Mimi, Christy Epping) and come off as just token characters for the purposes of Affirmative Action. But the producers make up for it with the amazing special effects and recreation of life in the 1960s. Very dark, yet inspiring.
