**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…

"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 wil…

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. Production value was great, but the story was a hot mess that hinged on 'the power of friends' being what over comes this demonic entity. Oh well. Mayb…

Absolutely amazing. The casting and the acting was done so well. The graveyard scene was so bad but other than that all the episodes were amazing, dare i say this is the best one yet in the IT franchise they've made. The kids were definitely i wasn't expecting, they did their characters so well! The way they portray in Derry was so chilling and the fact that Pennywise amplify their hatred in fear during those …
