On ‘Castle Rock,’ The Kid is not all right

It’s unclear whether or not Castle Rock wants its audience to have sympathy for the devil. Rather, sympathy for emphatically Not The Devil, as its resident harbinger of doom clarified in its latest episode “Harvest” in a showdown at gunpoint with ex-sheriff Alan Pangborn. 

Though Bill Skarsgård’s still-nameless character claims to not be Satan himself, the question of what exactly he is remains one of the central questions of Castle Rock

“Harvest” does a good job in causing whiplash around The Kid and his actions, involuntarily or otherwise.

When Bill Skarsgård was cast in Hulu’s Castle Rock, the joke was that he was going to play evil again. It was an obvious connection, considering that Castle Rock is a Stephen King adaptation like 2017’s It, where Skarsgård played Pennywise/It, a child-munching entity in the shape of a dancing clown. 

“At least in this one,” went the thought, “he won’t have to wear all that clown makeup,” like being able to see his face would make his inevitably evil character less frightening. At least in this one he gets to be, you know, hot. 

Having seen the first few episodes of Castle Rock, to this I say: yes, Bill Skarsgård is hot, and no, it doesn’t make him any less scary. It makes him more scary. And it’s not his fault.   Read more…
