Spoilers! I coincidentally finished the series today. Just wow. It was great. Idk if it was anything like the book or not, but i sure enjoyed it. I just got the book last week; I haven't read it yet, but i cannot wait! I'm intrigued with this hat/card man. I hope there's a bill, and i hope there's a mental ward scene and that king spends a little time there. The show ripped my heart out and stomped on it so many times. When he hugged Henry and cried saying he didn't help him. Jfc. All of this for nothing?! God damn man...

Anyways, it was great.

I’m only into a a few TV series and this is by far one of the best shows I watched. It’s so much going on in every episode. I really been living under a rock until I found out about it. Just AMAZING 🤩

Just finished the series and I don’t have words to explain how’s I’m feeling. It’s just a beautiful content feeling.

I’m such a as simp that I would’ve keep visiting 60s to live over and over again with Sadie.

I found this series by scrolling through miniseries recommendaton lists and I thought the concept seemed interesting. Little did I know about the emotional rollercoaster that I was going to put myself through.

The ending was just so gut wrenching. It had me weeping like a baby and left me devastated for days. No other series has done that for me except for Lost and this series did it in only 8 episodes.

I really didn’t expect myself to get so attached to everything such as the characters, the timeperiod and the music. This series was so well crafted.

Jake is a much better man than me. I would have gone back and stayed in the 60’s with Sadie no matter the obstacles the past would throw at me or us haha.

Hi, I'm just wondering how severe the "adult" content is, I'm talking about the sexual content, For example, Strong sex references, Nudity, All of that

In episode 7, Jake and Sadie park the car near the book depository. They specifically say they are very near it. They seem even to be in walking distance.

When they wake up in episode 8, they say they have four hours before the first shot is fired. But then for some reason they need a car to get to the depository, Jake drives like a maniac, and they only get into the room with Oswald right at 12:30pm, barely in time.

How on Earth were they so far away from the depository all of a sudden, and hence in such a rush??

What am I missing?

Love the show and love the romance story! Love the ending with his final Dance with Sadie

sometimes the show becomes really frustrating by stupid decisions he makes like for me I wouldn’t throw the phone into the river, I would go back to the future grab a phone cord come back and use it as a camera and audio recoding

I don’t understand why he brought Sadie with him to stop Oswald.

Wished she would’ve lived and he brought her into the future with him which turns out bad same as show then both made hard decision to go back reset everything then after keep it like it is

Just finished the very last episode and, while it’s not unusual as I’m very sensitive and cry at endings, the last seen with Jake and Sadie dancing just made me bawl. I get why it had to end that way, just wish we could always have happy endings.

Overall, I really loved the show and might even go read the book now. Just wish Jake and Sadie, Deek and Mimi, and Harry could have all lived happily ever after.

What an amazing show. Holy Shit.

That ending was so bittersweet, fuckk.

I cant find it anywhere

So Jake is told by Al, he can go back to 1960 and save JFK. As we see it happens events play out.

What if Jake went and spoke to Al? warning him to just not go to Vietnam? or tell him to save JFK on that day?, What if Al went into the rabbit hole from 1960, would he arrive in 2016, is it a closed loop or do the years change?

I'm not going to post spoilers but man, what a sad ending. I was not expecting that to be how the show ended.

Overall, I think it was a very good show. It felt a little rushed towards the end but it remained good from beginning to end.

The scene where the gun is on the right side of the room and Sadie the left. Cut to Jake, about to eat shit and die. This was such a blatant continuity error and while it is very true and established that weapon and gun continuity is an extremely nuanced and dedicated thing to pull off. The reason I think it is planned rather than a cock up is that the show so purposefully and consistently at every other turn accounts for pretty much every logistical aspect of every situation. The only elements of the story which are not functionally a super immersive hyper realistic anarcho-espionage book are the portal and the "past pushing back". The portal and the past pushing back are in extreme contrast to rest of the show's plot and cinematography. This leads me to believe that it may be possible and likely that JJ and writers included this "continuity error" within the internal logic of the past pushing back, and was a force acting on the situation outside of what we are to consider logical but because it is such a mundane altering of reality we write it off as a gun flub. We are caught off guard by this push back as up until this point each push back on the past has been a negative impact on protagonist.

TLDR Even the past recognized how fucked up that situation is and maybe Jake was not supposed to die in 1963, so the past tipped the scales in order achieve homeostasis, this time in the other direction.

title. interested to know how 2 identical hundred dollar bills could exist back then

When did Jake and Bill move into the same building as Lee? When we first see them get an apartment they were in a second floor apartment, now there’s living right under Lee. This confuses me because in the episode where they bug Lee, we see them looking down at Lee.

Hi, sorry for the mistakes I use a translator. I haven't read the book but I loved the show. However, there are certain points that I would like to clarify... -Why doesn't Jake go back to the past to experience a love story with Sadie? He found that preventing JFK's death was wrong, plus it led to Sadie's death. So he goes back, lets JFK die, Sadie doesn't die and they live out their love -Why doesn't Jake go back to still save Harry from the trauma of his father killing his family with a hammer? It worked once, so he could modify at least that to see

I think it was episode 6 or 7 where Jake is in the hospital and he keeps having flashbacks to present day. It got me thinking that perhaps in the future life he was in an accident, and the whole show is just a dream for Jake. It definitely makes you wonder…

What is it that Sadie thinks she knows? Toward the end of episode 5 The truth at the hospital when Jake runs to her hospital bed to find she is still alive and awake he says he will never lie to her again and that he must tell her something. She is obviously not expecting him to say he’s from the future and laughs. But just before that she says “I know… well I think I know already”. What is it that she thinks she knows? That he’s a sex addict? That he has a secret wife and family? That he is using a false identity? That he has killed another man before? It’s kind of driving me crazy wondering what the f she thinks about him is a lie that he’s ready to share? He’s been pretty convincing. Other than a couple bad timed disappearances/abrupt exits such as the dance and after their first sexual encounter there’s only the Russian sex tape which is extremely strange for this time period but a woman that could rationalize her pervert husband putting a clothespin on his dick then beating and raping her on her wedding night could probably rationalize just about any sort of sexual proclivity - especially if it’s not violent like that scumbag she was previously married to she probably would just think due to lack of knowledge and resources no one discussing these things in this time period that somehow all men are to some degree perverts and have no choice but to act out these perversions in some form with Jake’s audio recordings being the least harmful of what she’s seen personally/limited knowledge. But aside from extrapolating that out russian perv recording = pervy voyerism kink shit I truly have no idea what else she could possibly think he was going to say? It cannot just be I love you or some basic shit like that. Are you really an English teacher from Maine? Yes. So nothing else is false about you essentially other than this time travel bullshit? People of 1960s have a concept of time travel from comics and such but no one has actively ran around stating they are from another time. That’s insane.

Also do we think that time is pushing back to keep Jake from finding out what happened to general walker that night or do we think he just f’d up and really pissed off John Clayton leading to that crazy bastard having a mental breakdown.

I’d save John Lennon.

What if Oswald went back in time to prevent that future that we see in 2016 from happening?

I'm watching this series, I watched until episode 7, going to watch episode 8 now, and there's something that either I missed or is a mistake. There's been a couple of times where I was watching the series while doing something else at the same time, so perhaps I missed something.

When Jake is beaten up and loses his memory, he doesn't remember where he used to live (the apartment from where he was spying Lee). Then he remembers the name of the street (Madison St) and he goes with Sadie trying to find where he lived. Sadie doesn't know either, so they keep going door by door asking residents if they know Jake. However, in a previous episode, Sadie goes to Jake's apartment and finds out the spying equipment, which prompts her to break up with him. Did I miss something or is this a mistake?

I just finished the book where the rabbit hole went back to 1958. I’m now just starting the show, but it seems it was changed to be a link to 1960 now. What’s the point of that change? If anything 1958 makes it a 5-year sacrifice to reach 112263 which is more impactful than only 3 years. Just curious, thanks!

Just finished this show and LOvED it. When I finished it, this quote struck me as valid:

“You never know what worse luck your bad luck saved you from”

My first watch through of this show was back around 2019. I just rewatched and I SWEAR one scene was changed.

In the finale after the assassination, Jake is brought into questioning with the man from the CIA/FBI whatever—I have a distinct memory of the agent and Jake discussing that he is from the future. And, after some convincing, the agent acknowledges that Jake must in fact be from the future.

I just did my rewatch on Hulu and there is no mention of time travel in this interrogation. Was the episode edited or am I just wrong?
