Caroline Nyaga G @RT04813391 2d I would recommend this series because I learnt how to control my fear, which I know would help other people to learn how to control their fears. See more Paolo F @XKP-Producer Jun 2 Welcome to Derry feels like the answer to a question nobody was asking: "What if we made Stranger Things again, but this time we could legally say it was inspired by Stephen King because it actually is Stephen King?" The series follows the now-familiar formula: a group of kids, supernatural horrors, mysterious events, bikes, nostalgia, and plenty of scenes that seem convinced they're building suspense when they're mostly building runtime. Unfortunately, what once felt fresh now feels painfully predictable. The biggest problem is that the show rarely finds its own identity. Instead of expanding the world of IT in an interesting way, it often comes across as a collection of ideas we've already seen done better elsewhere—including in series that were themselves heavily inspired by King. The result is a show that's frequently dull, surprisingly generic, and ultimately forgettable. With so many great horror and fantasy series available today, this is one trip to Derry that's easy to skip.

The series does a good job building suspense slowly instead of relying only on jump scares. The setting feels dark and unsettling, and the performances help make the story more engaging. Some episodes move at a slower pace, but overall it keeps the mystery interesting and expands the world in a way fans will probably enjoy. A solid watch for people who like horror with tension, storytelling, and a disturbing small-town vibe. See more Lars N @movie_douche May 19 After a strong pilot It seems to be going nowhere fast. We jump from thrill to thrill with some pretty boring filler in between and a lot of mumbo jumbo about pillars and cages. There are strong ideas here and there but to fill eight hours of television this series bites off more that It can chew. See more Autumn M @RT26919073 May 14 Welcome to Derry is a prequel tv series to It. Similar to other modern series, it blends supernatural horror with the everyday horror of being a black person or a Native American in the middle of the century. I liked the deepening of the It lore, and getting to see Pennywise's origin. Without giving away too much, there is also a subplot about the government and Native Americans involvement in keeping It at bay. Excellent! See more Read all reviews
