Through episode 4. The opening credits are delightful and the tapeworm eyes are going to haunt me for the rest of my life.

I saw IT vol1 yesterday and it still hold up really well. And everything with Pennywise is just so well done. The performance really is one for the ages, i love that he is doing in the series too were Pennywise seems more unhinged even.

There are talks about a third movie, hope it happens even if most of the series bored me, but once Pennywise in on the screen it really elevates the material.

How badass was Pennywise being submerged in blood and then appearing soaked in blood after being reawakened? Almost a reverse of the war paint as the dead person who showed Dick where to go

Caught up. This has been very good albeit very gross. Episode 8 looks like it’s gonna be nuts.

JFC, could they have dragged that climax out any longer?

Good show if you ignore the script and some of the acting.

I’m bummed we didn’t see Maturin when Dick went under.

The bit about It’s sense of time is a cool wrinkle that looks to be the conceit for future season.

I know; that’s why I thought we might see the big guy.

The whole playing with time perception thing has been done with Dr Manhattan and more recently Sephiroth in the Final Fantasy VII remakes.

Is this series going to end with the titanic battle that sent It to Earth? That’s exciting.

The whole series was a mess, specially in tone. Acting was not good in the pilot but got better. Writing did not. Still everytime Pennywise is on screen, everything lights up really, there were a few very terrifing scenes in this.

The ending was also a mess but it was still cool and fun. The whole time thing is interesting and sets up a possible cool second season and maybe a sequel to Vol 2?

Also the Bev cameo was cool as hell.

Yeah, I’m a lot more excited about future seasons acting as quasi-sequels with this time reveal.
