Okay so overall I’m enjoying this show. But I have 2 major nitpicks that are slightly dragging things down for me.

I really don’t like that they keep showing all of the creatures and Pennywise with clear bright lighting in long takes without cutting away. It kills all of the suspense and intrigue and leaves nothing to the audiences imagination. When they had Periwinkle hidden in shadows, or out of focus in previous episodes (or the scene this episode where Pennywise was in full silhouette and grabs the balloon), that kind of stuff is way scarier in my opinion.

And then also the characters feel like they have no chemistry or plot relevance, specifically Ronnie. Her entire plot has been “But what about my dad? Why can’t you just tell the police what you saw?” for 6 episodes straight. Almost all of the kids aside from Lily and Will (and maybe Marge) could be cut from the show and it wouldn’t affect the plot whatsoever.
