Welcome to Derry is a very good and well done psychological horror.
Been a fan of Steven King since the 80's. When I heard they were making a show of IT I had my doubts.
These first 2 episodes are amazing. These kids deserve a reward. It's some of the best child acting I've seen. And this show dose not back off. It is brutal to these kids. Violet killing and psychological torture. I'm surprised it's not controversial.
The time period is spot on to with Racism and Bullying being a thing back then.
The Army side story is the lame part. It takes away Derry and the Child actors for a typical use it as a weapon thing. It really hinders the show and was not needed.
Regardless the 1st 2 episodes is a great start to Derry. Hopefully the Army side story don't drag it down any further.
