I think it's very good. Kudos to them also for not showing IT as a clown.

Pennywise is such a shitty total nonsense character, so maybe this can remedy that? Is that the idea? I somehow doubt it. This is so far the usual It nonsense where anything can happen and never needs explanation or motivation etc.

I do love the cast though, the little Italian guy especially. It looks great too. Not sure why i get 720P though, using a cable so i should be fine. But no.

"It" is probably King's most overrated work due to the awful Pennywise. Freddy Krueger and maybe even Jason are so much better written with more depth and they are not even based of some book, they were B-movie characters. Pennywise feels like he belongs in a C64 horror platformer, that's the extent of his ""depth"". Remains to be seen if something can be done to explain him.

Last week I finished The Institute, another show based on a King book and also with a group of kids and a secret army-like organisation (show's pretty good btw).

Watching an episode of that and then one of this was very confusing at times Laughing Now Stranger Things adding more to the pile

Not sure which one I like more, they're pretty comparable although Derry has better production values. But I'd score then the same still. The Institute is just a single season, so it has that. Problem with King's stories is their endings often kinda suck Very Happy

Yeah, last episode was an absolute banger from start to finish
(and puts the show definitely above The Institute Razz )

Yep, ITs sudden talks about IT perceiving time in non-linear manner seemed out of the blue for me, and I immediately thought of season 2 being planned in the past, as the writers can't really go into the future where ITs story has completed in the movies.

Thou, the showrunners can always elect another bad possible solution for future season(s) - parallel world. IT exists in the Dark Tower multiverse, after all.

Another possible save for the show sequel would be to establish new rule, IT sleeps for 27 years in Derry, but IT could somehow manifest itself somewhere else in the interim.
