The first episode is very long on weirdness and slow to ex- plain. We’re scratching our heads long before we know or care about the people involved. Like many King tales, the story is set in a remote Maine town, a place of subfreezing winters, gloomy architecture and a local prison called Shaw- shank. We catch a glimpse of that facility, known to us from another corner of the “multi- verse,” just before the warden (Terry O’Quinn, “Lost”) com- mits suicide in a rather spec- tacular manner. We then cut PATRICK HARBRON / HULU away from Maine’s weird King- Andre Holland, left, stars as death-row attorney Henry Deaver and Sissy Spacek as Ruth Deaver in “Castle Rock,” now streaming on Hulu. dom to visit a Texas prison where an inmate is being put to death in spite of the efforts of practice to return to Millwood, • “The Art Show” (10 p.m., Ova- boys (8 p.m., TV-PG), war sto- Noah” (11 p.m., Comedy Cen- crusading lawyer Henry Deav- her hometown in Manitoba. tion, TV-14) profiles creators ries (8:30 p.m., TV-14) * Kevin tral) * James Comey, Tig Nota- er (Andre Holland).
