HBO’s ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ Is Making a Major Genre Shift in Season 2

Comments

1. Zoe: thought the whole show was about some creepy kid and clowns? now it's gangsters?
2. Veraibrahim: not sure I'd call it a major genre shift when your story's been meandering all season anyway
3. Cobalt Reaper: don't know what happened to their concept, but hoping they can recover from this major pivot
4. Static Drift: apparently the clown thing was just a distraction from the real story all along
5. Noelyangxo: thinking about how much I loved the first season's focus on the 'It' universe and now this sudden jump into gangster drama is really throwing me off. curious to see
6. Frost Sable: ugh okay that's a huge change from what I was expecting, hope they can still bring some of the IT vibes to this period piece drama
7. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: Wait, so the whole IaDiverse universe stuff just gets abandoned in favour of a straight gangster story?
8. Lucas Larsen: i love how hollywood likes to throw curveballs and this is a wild one - gangs in derry sounds like an interesting take on the universe
9. Lucasw: still no clarification on what happened to the clown storyline, hoping they don't abandon it completely
10. Solar Warden: Not buying the whole gangster vibe until I see some evidence it's more than just a lazy rebrand. That clown in the poster looks out of place in 1930s
11. Cipher Talon: I don't get what's going on here, I mean wasn't this supposed to be an IT adaptation?
12. Omar: not a huge fan of abandoning entire universes for trends, but i guess we'll see if this Bradley Gang thing sticks with audiences
13. Allegra: clowns in gangster dramas, really, they're gonna stick out like a sore thumb
14. Shadow Sparrow: love how shows are finding new energy in old stories, would've never pegged the Bradley Gang as a Derry connection though
