In a mysterious and horrifying atmosphere, the series presents a number of exciting stories that written by Stephen King, an American author. In the first season the series highlights on the life of a lawyer called Henry Deaver who has a dark past in his hometown, Castle Rock. After receiving an unknown-source call, Deaver has to go there, remembering his old past.
It's also eerie, emotionally dense, and elegantly haunting. And "Romans," the finale of season one and the end of Henry Deaver's story, hit me square in the gut.
As a horror story of its own, the series made promises then all but went out of its way to avoid delivering in the end. A finale that seemed destined for dark magic was just a bait and switch.
The first season of Castle Rock was at its very best when exploring Henry's trauma (and Molly's and Ruth's), and "Romans" gives him the catharsis he's been searching for.
