IT: Welcome To Derry on HBO.
As a huge fan of the 1986 novel and the 2017 movie, I must say, the pilot episode was massively disappointing. I have seen better horror storytelling in episodes of Goosebumps.
It was so bad that I am actually astonished that HBO green lit it to air. Rare miss by the network.
I'm going to give it a chance. A lot of King fans loved it. I've got more mixed feelings. I wasn't a fan of It's form in the first episode, but I'm curious to see how they follow that ending.
I read some rumors online about the basic plot, and it sounded legitimately terrible. So, I guess I'm holding out hope those rumors are wrong.
