The series revolves around Henry Deaver, a man who functions as a legal counselor for the individuals who have a capital punishment. One day, Deaver gets a call from obscure individual forces him to come back to the place where he grew up in Castle Rock, specific in a prison named Shawshank State Penitentiary. There, his dull past starts to show up and he needs to confront it.
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.
