I haven't seen either. Alien Earth already seemed to weird with the premise of kids being put into adult bodies with some Peter Pan shit, and that's before me already being tired of Disney beating the battered corpse of one of my favorite series. After a couple of youtube videos going over the plot halfway through, I figured it wasn't worth the bandwidth.

I didn't even know an IT show existed until a couple days ago because of a VFX youtube video, and I didn't realize it was actually out.

Is there any decent cosmic horror, at least thematically, because I know IT is a cosmic entity? Although I guess it would be a bit moot without any tension.

It's mostly a kumbaya show about magic black people and magic Indians who are going to save the world from the evil clown and the evil white guy trying to use the clown as a weapon.

Yeah, normally in a Stephen King story you get one magical negro, but in this one you get two!

New one is the most retarded yet.

Somehow, yes. I'm rather taken aback by this this one. At least the Cuban kid is having fun?

When was it established the Cuban kid was a jazz drummer? Jesus, this show is bad. I guess next episode will be "fire" as the kids say.

During the scene when we first see him he watches the Patty Cakes walk down a school hallway while leaning on some lockers wearing a school band uniform. Episode 2 I think?

Would have been useful to have a callback. It took me a bit to remember the little bit they showed.

I took it as in reality he was actually doing a shit job and just banging drums and cymbals randomly, but he and everyone else weren't realizing it and didn't care because they were all drunk and we were seeing the "beer goggles" version. Hence the giggling and wavy haze filter.

Man Bill Skarsgard is so good lol. It realizing the women is Bob Grays daughter and delighting in it was damn near perfect. Props to the sound design for making It eating the little girl as awful as possible was great

Hallorann acting like Danny Torrance in Dr Sleep was on point and they are doing that storyline justice. The Club scene was bizarre though and was by far the weakest point. We all know how it will end and it’s fine but they are doing so many other interesting things it feels pointless even though it should be a major plot point.

Two episodes in a row where the twelve year olds get high and become turned on from it.
