Difficult to follow at first even though I read the book. I wish it was longer than 9 episodes and had more character development and back story. I waited so long for this new one to come out because I love Stephen King but really wish it followed the book more closely. There was a mini series in the 90's and that was good although some pieces were missing that were in the book and some characters as well. This is worth watching but I think I got my hopes up a little too high. It is better than some movies based on his books from the past but not as good as the new IT movies. The last episode could have been cut for the most part and added into the other episodes in my opinion. It was a new ending in some ways but not thrilling. This is more of a drama short series rather than a thriller.
