[Castle Rock]

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen this show, but I might watch it now because I also love that plot set up...

Agreed. Thinking that wee boy killed his dad was ridiculous, and the overtly hostile reactions he got were just - over the top.

Is it a small town? If so, people can believe the most bizarre things and really be vile about it. I went to school with a girl who was rumored to have killed her baby brother and no-one was allowed to go to her house or invite her to birthday parties etc. Did it really happen? I have no idea, but everyone "knew" it.

I don't know, the town IS Castle Rock, would a kid killing his dad really be that much stranger or unbelievable than the other stuff that happens there?

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of, because remember while weird shit happens, the context is still ostensibly the real world. It's a very common theme with Stephen King - the horror parts have greater impact because he deliberately chooses very mundane settings. At any rate, it's not the same kind of strange. Even stories set in fantasy worlds need to have an internal logic, so while there might be, idk, demons or whatever there's still a lot of stuff that needs to seem pretty normal, at least on the surface.

I'm with you, OP.
I'm enjoying Castle Rock but the hatred of the town towards the main character doesn't make much sense to me, considering he was a child who went missing.
(I feel the same way about the prison locking up the young man who was found imprisoned in a cage. There isn't a sense from anyone in the prison, apart from the main guard, that he's most probably severely traumatised and needs psychological help- not to be locked up in the prison.)
