A Story of Derry

"Guys! Guys! Have you heard the good word about the turtle children?!" They took arguably the best part of It: Chapter 2 - the backstory - and gave us *this*. Yep! That's my review.

Expanding on existing lore is always quite difficult because you are constrained by what some offhanded line has portrayed the entire story to be before you even start. To humanize it in a way that lets you engage with the story on screen is difficult, and I think that they did a good job here. There is a reason why the characters act the way they do, and there is genuine tension, even though we know for sure what is bound to happen because it already has.
