This series is on the lines of German show Dark but dark is a thousand times better than castle rock. Castle rock offers nearly nothing by the end except that you need to wait for the next season. first few episodes are completely unnecessary and largely sluggish, its only after the 6th episode that you find some pace only to see an idea of screenplay that's parallel to dark but of much lower in quality of story-telling style when compared to it because it basically focuses on building an audience base for the consecutive seasons. The show could have been better had it focused on the current season rather than establishing a fan base for Stephen king's work and then taking permissions from the production house to continue with a real script for the next season. It is a big disappointment for those who have seen and read king's work. I'll recommend you to watch the show Dark after it and see for yourself what real story-telling is like.
