It: Bem-Vindos a Derry

IT: Welcome to Derry is an interesting series with great horror build-up

Also it takes very late for Pennywise to appear in his Clown Form, so don't expect The Dancing Clown in the first half of the show

Also, all the US Army Scenes are incredibly boring but there's an officer character in the cops who looks exactly like Joe Biden, which I found to be pretty hilarious

The show slowly turns into a masterpiece ever since they get inside the underground tunnels, where Pennywise 'lives', and is finally back in his Clown Form, it's ascendant from here

The Usage of Black and White scenes is also done very cleverly in the Show, with an often Red Color, like a red balloon, being mixed in with Black and White, to add to the horror

The Last Episode especially is a Masterpiece, mainly because it ties everything together.

Unlike rubbish like Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, et al, IT: Welcome to Derry succeeds because the writers have obviously read and loved the source. Why wouldn't you?

On top of that, whomever these writers are gets 80s horror novels, and like those pull no punches. If by the end of the first episode you haven't got the point - this is horror as it was meant to be.

If you're not horrified it probably means you lack empathy for every poor souls throughtout.

Skarsgard's return gives him much more space and unlike the films where he felt outshined by Tim Curry, here he really gets to shine and he's brilliantly malevolent.

After the awful 90s where none of the kids can act and ruined so many tv shows here they're on brilliant form.

Only thing letting it down is some of the CGI.

IT: Welcome to Derry delivers a masterclass in storytelling and execution. The narrative is engaging, well-paced, and truly captures the eerie essence of Stephen King's universe. The characters feel real, the town's atmosphere is chilling, and the plot unfolds with precision, keeping you hooked throughout the season.

However, if you're hoping for classic jump scares, you might be disappointed. This franchise has moved past cheap shocks, focusing instead on an expected, psychological style of horror. While this approach is effective, it makes the scares somewhat predictable for seasoned horror fans.

Overall, a beautifully crafted horror season that excels in storytelling, atmosphere, and suspense-just don't come here expecting your heart to leap from sudden jumps.

This show started, I won't say meh, but it could've gone either way. It was never terrible nor bad. And episode buy episode it built and build alk the way till the finale, and turned pretty good. And now, maybe it will be 9/10 after S2. I don't know. All I can say that, I wasn't interested for S2, and now I am...

As it says, IT was my childhood favorite; watching this in 2025 brought back a little emotion. Watching Pennywise processed from different perspectives is very interesting to see. The series was more gripping as you came close to the end. IT makes you sit in front of the screen and won't let you up until you finish it. The series has detail after detail; if you want to catch all of it, then you need to go back to old movies and the novel every 10 minutes as you're watching. IT was a great experience.
