HBO's Welcome to Derry series just ain't it

The It prequel squandered potential by rehashing the original with lower production values, weak scares, and a slow, uninspired focus that delays Pennywise's appearance.

IT: Welcome to Derry relies on big surreal set pieces but overall feels slow, derivative of Stephen King adaptations and weaker than similar genre shows.

'Welcome to Derry' Review: HBO's 'It' Prequel Series Is the Wrong Kind of Clown Show

Despite their recent rise in prevalence, prequels are often a bad fit for television. Serialized TV is built for lengthy, evolving stories; stories that can grow from season to season; that can begin as one thing and end as something else entirely. Even episodic programs (your sitcoms, your procedurals) are bewitching for their innate boundlessness. They can go on forever, and knowing as much is comforting, intimate, and fun.
