Go back to where IT all began.

**The show is written for pre-teens and it feels like a silly WB series 🤢** I'm really disappointed with this latest TV show from HBO.

My hope going into this series was it would go into how Pennywise came to be. And while it did to some degree, it really didn't explain much. Production value was great, but the story was a hot mess that hinged on 'the power of friends' being what over comes this demonic entity. Oh well. Maybe th…
