I've watched seasons one and two now. Quite different, both had good and bad things to them. Overall I think they were a mess. The problem for me was that many times I didn't know what I was watching, who's story is this. I gather Castle Rock is basically the center of Stephen King novels and we have many familiar (and not so familiar) places and characters, but especially in season two the storylines didn't seem to have any real connection other than possible earlier appearances. Sure a connection happens in the end, but the only real connection is that they happen in the same "universe", which seems quite popular these days in popular culture.
The story about Annie Wilkes was pretty good tho, it was what made season two interesting, but everything else didn't seem to serve much purpose. Season one was maybe a bit more straightforward with less different storylines, but it was boring and confusing, much less engaging.
I ditched season one once and came back to it after watching a few other (better) series. Season two kept me glued better, mostly due to the Wilkes story. Honestly I have no clue what possible season three will offer, probably more unrelated storylines, lot's of characters without real purpose and one main story that is utterly confusing, because of all unnecessary clutter, red herrings and plot twists coming out of nowhere. JJ Abrams style. I will still probably watch it, god knows why.
