11.22.63 is an awesome show based on Stephen King's book.  So far, it has a lot of suspense and I'm hooked.  It doesn't take into account the multiple worldline theory, so you have to consider that poetic justice and just enjoy the show.  

Synopsis:  A man travels back to 1960 via a portal in a diner and is instructed to stop the Kennedy assassination in 1963.  There are 2 problems.  1. If he comes back, everything resets.  2.  It always starts at 1960, so he has to stay 3 years until the assassination.

 
I read the book first and was hooked from the word go. I really enjoyed the TV series - It's tough to take a very long book with a very far-fetched plot and condense it down to 10 or so episodes.

Jake gains a partner when he stops off in Kentucky, which does NOT happen in the book. I think this makes the series worth watching if you've already read the book. It's no Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad, but it's a great show and stands on it's own very well.
