IT: Welcome to Derry

Only 2 episodes in and so far I'm loving it. The effects are top notch and I'm enjoying more then the recent IT movies. It's very intense and no one is safe.

Great they managed to get Dick Halloran from The Shining into this series. Sure it's light on details and backstory so far, but if you're watching this you probably already know the lore of IT.

Hoping they can keep ramping up the intensity as the later episodes drop. Love the nostalgia of all the old cars.

Wish there was more good horror tv shows out there. I'm enjoying this for the effects more than anything. Hope they add more backstory in the later episodes.

IT: Welcome to Derry is a solid horror series that really nails atmosphere and suspense, with Pennywise as terrifying as ever and the adult performances bringing real depth. The town feels alive, full of secrets that keep you hooked, and the storytelling mostly balances tension and emotion perfectly. Some of the younger characters' arcs don't hit as strongly, and a few moments drag or show slightly off CGI, but these are minor hiccups in an otherwise gripping show. Overall, it's a strong 8.5-9/10 - highly recommended for horror fans.

If you like ghost stories and The Evil Dead, you'll enjoy this show, which features supernatural elements and horrific scenes. Some of the scenes are extremely well thought out and filmed. You may find yourself wondering "how they even imagined these scenes". However, alongside the positives, there are some CGI failings. Hopefully, the producer or director will fix these in the near future.

I gave it 8 stars. But I think it should be 7 for the first three episodes. After watching the first two episodes, I watched the IT movies (2017 and 2019) again. And realised that this TV series is very similar to the IT movies. I also hope they can bring some fresh ideas and scenarios to the first season. The 8-star rating is for that hope! :)

I had high hopes for this series and hope it gets better. I'm not sure if it's meant to be scary but the visual effects just aren't doing it for me. It's comical at times when it's not mean to be?

I will hold out that the series gets better but right now I'm struggling to get into it. I want to clarify I haven't watched any of the IT movies, so it's my first intro to this franchise.

I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies, not because I'm scared I just don't find them nearly as interesting as others do. I'm not saying that I don't like them, I just prefer other genres more, so I wasn't as excited about It: Welcome to Derry as others were. I have seen the recent It movies and thought they were pretty good, especially Bill Skarsgård. I'm glad they brought him back for this series because he's once again the best part of the show. It's gotten good reviews and currently has a 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience however have given it mixed reviews. I'm more on the side of not liking it than not. Maybe that's because I didn't have huge expectations or know much about the book.
