My jaw hit the floor 10 minutes into IT: Welcome to Derry , and that's pretty much where it stayed as I kept watching the show.

The biggest reason for my shock and awe was, of course, IT: Welcome to Derry 's scares. This is a Stephen King show, after all, and you're going to get the nightmares to prove it.

But my continued appreciation for the series wasn't a product of frights alone. Like King's novel and the film adaptations that have followed, IT: Welcome to Derry introduces a new crew of lovable kids in peril, each of whom you'll latch onto faster than one of Pennywise's (Bill Skarsgård's) red balloons can go pop. The series also expands on Derry's history, creating a fascinating portrait of a town that has learned to live with evil, both supernatural and human in nature.
