**The show is written for pre-teens and it feels like a silly WB series 🤢** I'm really disappointed with this latest TV show from HBO. The acting is absolutely atrocious, and the writing isn't much better. And I never notice stuff like CGI, but some of the "monster" special effects in this look sloppy or something, like they were thrown together on an internet cafe computer. We literally laughed out loud at some…
Go back to where IT all began.

"IT Welcome to Derry" is horrifying for all the wrong reasons. This is a lobotomised, grotesque, over the top, wholly wrong headed, poorly scripted mess.

The only real upsides I can see is quality acting and solid production values but that is seriously, as far as this series, gets. In summary, no doubt the marketing gremlins…
Fog, Fear, and Family Curses: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Review HBO's Welcome to Derry Season 1 chills the spine of Stephen King's It universe, unearthing 1962 Derry's festering secrets in a taut eight-episode prequel. Showrunners Andy Muschietti and Tommy Brennan sidestep the Losers' glow, spotlighting the town's doomed denizens: pie-baking matriarchs, boozy cops, and wide-eyed kids teetering on Pennywise's abyss.…
IT's hard to make a prequel series after the success of the newest IT films with all the knowledge of how things turn out. My hope going into this series was it would go into how Pennywise came to be. And while it did to some degree, it really didn't explain much.
