s01e01 — The Pilot

October 26 +____+ waiting

There were so many mysteries about the city's past in the book — they will finally show it on the screen (I hope they will))🎈

Now I'm looking forward to the weekend even more.

The expectations of this series are very high, the world lacks high-quality horror films! Amen

I think the cast is strangely chosen, the boys don't act very well, except for Matty, he's nothing, I don't say anything about the little girl. In the very first episode, there are such vulgar computer graphics with this monster child. And the narration... it's like something's wrong, it's not clear. I'm a little disappointed. I expected more. 😞

The first episode is quite cheerful, the family in the car, in my opinion, the most creaky x)
It's just a pity that half of the children presented were eaten so quickly, I just started to get used to them…

We're only in the first episode, and half the kids on the poster are dead.

It's pretty good! But it's better not to get attached to children.

they won't have enough children by the end of the series))

But I have a specific feeling that the pilot is "Very strange things" 2.0?))

I feel sorry for the little girl

The beginning begins with the first series of so many events . I thought it would last for 3-4 episodes . But it's much better this way.
1-2 children would have been taken away , but of course it 's sad (

I agree with the comments above
hard vibes aiu x very strange cases

I just liked the prologue, it's an endless repetition of words spelled brrrr
that even a seemingly normal family with children does not guarantee that it's not a trap
. How many real-life cases are there when they were afraid to get into a man's car, but saw a girl (actually an accomplice), they thought that everything was OK

the fact that so many children kicked is a shock, I didn't expect
it at all. The girl with the hammer is very brave, instead of running away herself, she rushed into the hall

in general, it's not bad, there are no expectations, if it goes on briskly, then in general it's super + I want to learn more about 'it'

From the first shots it is gloomy and frightening, but with some interest in what will happen next. I look and wonder, I get scared, sometimes I smiled, I didn't look away!

It looks cool! 🔥
In the best traditions of the genre, I'm looking forward to the sequel, it's terribly interesting to find out what happens next.

It's very cool and in my opinion the kids are alive.

Honestly, the birth scene in the car is just a kick-ass...
it's a pity that the episodes don't come out all at once.
I really feel sorry for the children. They weren't cut up so fast in it.

HBO was able to) They have a free slot after the "Task". And again, a great show!) The first episode gives exactly what you would expect from such a series. The lamp-like atmosphere of a small town and the horrors it harbors. I hope they will continue in the same spirit. I like how the kids act out, some of them would seem to be the central characters.

It was a great start to the season, and suddenly, at the end, most of the children were taken off the poster. Well done for not even revealing this moment in the trailers.

Well, the opening scene is just a tin can, the combination of HBO and childbirth never ceases to amaze.

Em... That's not too much, is it? I'm still asking for weak computer graphics, but childbirth? A winged baby demon on the umbilical cord?

But thanks for the references, we love the references) I hope there will be more.

In general, I liked the pilot episode, at least they managed to interest me, at least with an unexpected move with mass murder like the main characters))
But I've been waiting for Pennywise's appearance all series. I hope it won't be a spit in the face and they won't show it in the last episode in the last minutes.

A very promising start to the season 🎈
A great cast of kids, even though we lost a lot of them quickly.. The entourage of a small town is perfectly shown, the color correction of the frame, the music, everything is fine. For me, it's a great competitor to "very strange cases", I look forward to next week!

It's all a bit fake, but it's probably a feature, not a bug. I think they want to be too much like Stranger Things, but the acting is too weak for this level. Unless, of course, they replace almost all the baby formula with a more natural one.
The winged baby chot was also not pleased. The horror stories in It (the book) were not exactly distinguished by any sophistication, but they usually exploited the fears of specific characters. And what's this about, where does it come from, and what's the point?
But I'll keep looking, while I'm curious.

It's just a great start to the season, and judging by the trailer for the second episode, which will be shown on Halloween, a specific movement is beginning.
I was especially glad to see Derry again, it turned out to be very atmospheric and sometimes creepy, and I was also pleased with the references to the film.

It's been a long time since I've been so hard on anything, but here I was sitting with my mouth open, honestly)))
it turned out to be something incredibly fantastic and epic 🔥
definitely worth watching

It's fine, but the scene with the divers in the barracks, the kringe, spoiled the impression.

I liked the reference to "The Fog" - where there was the Arrowhead project and the anomalous breakthrough of hell from a parallel world. There was a feeling that HBO might try to do their "Very strange things," because there is quite a lot of talk about experiments at a military base.

I also liked the reference to the story "Scratch, scratch" - about the finger in the glasses.

I was the first one to spit on the idea of this prequel, but I watched the first episode and was stunned by the coolness. There is a necessary viber. There are funny and lively children. It is wild and unpredictable. The atmosphere is there. The beginning is strong

I know that such questions are ignored here, BUT I can't find anything where I looked, please tell me. (((((

I can't go to the looney bin, I could not even make it throught Sleepaway Camp.

A reference to the horror movie The Sleeping Camp of 1983, i.e. it cannot withstand a horror movie, and even more so it will not survive in a fool.

There are many references to the film adaptations, and therefore the events of the books, but for some reason they do not look like references, but like just an attempt to film the book for the third time, but so that they are not blamed for the lack of new ideas. And then there are the kids again, who don't play well and seem to be too late with their emotions. Huge shit has been flying at them for several seconds now, and they only get scared when the camera turns on them, not before that.

The first episode is straight... Wow, I didn't think it would end so bloody.
The graphene monster is not happy yet, it will be a toy.
I started watching with skepticism, but now I'll be waiting for new episodes.

It's a good start. Waiting for Bill

Well, it's not clear yet. Somehow all the terrible things happen at once. There is a suspicion that the pace will decrease further and there will be a long chewing.

I really liked it. A wonderful cat-and-mouse game with audience expectations. After a leisurely exposition and introduction of the characters, it seemed that a new season of "very strange cases" was waiting for us: an adventure with kids, a touch of mysticism and scrimmers.And Muschetti came up with something more interesting right in the pilot.I'm intrigued by what's going to happen next....

It was wild, but strong.

It was already a fast start, while I was watching, I was thinking where to put myself. Childbirth is generally a separate horror.

Will Skarsgard be shown in the last episode in the post-credits scene?

I don't know yet if I liked it or not, but I'll definitely keep watching. Of course, it was unexpected that several of the main characters were removed so quickly...
And yes, I couldn't help but notice a certain similarity between the characters of Phil and Finn, Terry and Stanley/Eddie, but I think it was written that way on purpose.
Well, we're waiting to see what happens next!

At least one kid could have been left... 😩

Well, that's an interesting idea. I take it Matty is Pennywise?
But if you remember the very first one, it seemed to say that the clown performed at various shows in the city. Maybe, of course, it was already a monster back then. I wonder how this will be sorted out and connected.
The line with pilots and men in diving suits is not yet clear.
Well, suddenly they drank the main characters from the first episodes.
We look further, I wonder what and how they planned.

I looked at it. In the end, it's just meat, the way I like it.

The ending is just a good evening. I didn't expect such a turn, it's a pity that Phil and Terry didn't stay at least a couple more episodes, cool guys.
It's also a pity that only one episode was released. I can't say that it's been very fast so far ... but nevertheless, we must pay tribute – it's interesting and quite atmospheric, I want more)

I've been traumatized since the first 10 minutes. 😄

I really liked it, the perfect time for this series is just on the eve of Halloween and Samhain))It's ominous and scary, and I fucked up before the screensaver even started...I'm waiting for Pennywise very curious!And the kids really impressed me, so it's interesting and scary, I'm waiting for the sequel.

The scene in the car is just p****c, pure dreams at a temperature of 40 😵💫
Then everything is kind of strange ... they seem to be trying to catch up with the atmosphere, but the vibe itself is missing.
Some moments look fake, as if the actors are not afraid, but remember that "according to the script it's scary now"
So far, it feels like this is a fan version of "It", but something important is missing.
The ending is also a shock, of course, I didn't expect that the characters would merge so quickly.

Andy Muschetti decided to follow the beaten path) So far it looks like it's still the same in 2017.
For some reason, I also think that somehow the children will come back, they are unlikely to be settled.

Well, I liked the first episode. Let's see how it goes from here.

It was impressive: childbirth, racism, nuclear weapons, sewage, pickles, a lampshade made of Jewish skin, a flying baby doll devouring children. Special respect for tact: a woman gave birth in her underpants, and this is the right move so as not to shock young viewers and avoid unnecessary vulgarity)

Yes, it's better not to eat in the beginning)
I liked the atmosphere of the 60x, but of course the children are playing strangely.

I'm sorry for Matty, life was hard enough, and then death was terrible. I wanted to read the book even more, I saw that ent was more in it than it was shown in the movies. I hope it will appear in the original soon and not for 1,500 thousand. It seems to me that no one from the rest of the caste died, and it was the girls' gals.
It's a pity my laziness didn't work out this time and I watched it almost immediately, now I have to wait a whole week for a new episode.

For zero expectations, the series is very good. I liked the prologue, short and with AI vibes, but cool.

Yeah, the atmosphere in Derry is depressing. I wasn't so much horrified by pennywise's antics as by the kind of people here: violent kids at school, bullying, disgusting, insensitive parents, racist military men. everything is in the best traditions of the original novel. and how amazing it is, and all the bloody horror, combined with the lamp-like postcard entourage of a small American town in the early 60s. also with the music of those times. The splendor!

and, God, there are so many references and Easter eggs! on the original dilogy, on the novel itself, on King's other works, on American history and pop culture. it seems that the whole episode consists only of them. there is almost nothing random about it. this makes the series carefully thought out and makes you unravel everything that is hidden in the dialogues, jokes, mentions, inscriptions, details.

I hope the hype around the series will be strong enough for it to be renewed for the next two seasons.

🎈

Where can I see it? 🙏🏻

This is the best thing that has happened to me since this morning.

What's the matter with you all.
Why do you think children, 60-80s., a military base is immediately a competitor to very strange cases.
There is nothing in common here except these introductory ones. These are different genres and different stylistics, different presentation.

It's pretty cheerful, but I want to believe that the flying hell baby is here for one episode, otherwise it looks completely ridiculous (substitute absolutely any other flying one and the same thing will happen)

It's a pity the boys were killed, especially the eldest, he was clearly responsible for charisma there.

I really didn't expect to see Rudy Mancuso here.

Just in case, did you see that the major's last name is Hanlon, like Mike's from the book/movies "It"? So it's like a grandfather apparently?

Mdya )) the kids ate up quickly, unexpectedly, the flying monster Kid is such a thing, but cheerfully and generally liked it , let's see what happens next

That's pretty good. A creepy family. The atmosphere of the 60s Darry. Children are "outcasts". Everything is according to the canons. The only thing that went wrong was the line with the major (although Dexter's foster father was fun to see) and the mediocre graphonium on the baby. Otherwise, it turned out well. I'll be waiting for the second episode.

You can see that everything is happening at an accelerated pace and everything is getting to everyone, but it seems that the children are alive in the end.

I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Initially, I didn't expect anything from the series or the series. But the pilot turned out to be excellent. I like the dynamics and that they don't drag it out, but from the first episode they start the massacre (I thought that there would only be the first victim and then two series of nothing but a couple of screamers). So far, the plot with the military base is only being knocked out.

I liked it, it's not for nothing that I've been looking at the f... cs all day, when will the series appear.
It started out incredibly creepy, I really liked Matty, and it's a shame that he died so quickly... But the rest of the boys somehow didn't "go in", for some reason they immediately seemed like "passing" characters. Lily and her friend are beautiful, and the little black girl is just my love... I hope they will become the main characters, and someone else will be added... I'm waiting for Pennywise, but it's already pretty creepy without him. It's a great start!

Until the last moment, I thought that the children had survived. Like, even quickly merged those who were introduced throughout the series, and only I got used to "who's who". And then there were only the girls

A flying baby like Jeepers Creepers from Alik 🫠 It's funny that the main character in the first part was called Derry there

It's really scary, honestly, kids are being mowed down in packs

If everyone was really killed. That TV series even Thrones fucked up the speed plans and drank the heroes

So far, the best pilot you can make.

Great pilot episode!
I love the vibe of the 60s in American movies.
The kids (the main characters) are just fire! They play great)

Well, so far, everything was delicious in places, except for childbirth
I'm worried about Susie, she's a very smart girl... she was…

The birthing scene wasn't just brave, it was p#%€c how brave

I'm thrilled. The atmosphere of Derry is preserved, these autumnal landscapes of a small town with a dark mystery. There are references to the characters in "It": Hanlon, who will bring his family later, is the ancestor of Mike Hanlon, and Terry Uris, the boy with curly hair, is the ancestor of Stanley Uris. Perhaps his older brother will be Stanley's grandfather or father.
The unexpected ending, I was upset about the deaths of almost all the children. But it's not a template.

I liked the pilot. As for the ending, I don't think everything is so clear, and most likely the guys are alive, Penny just decided to play on someone's fear.

I wonder what kind of family it is in the beginning, is it part of it or other monsters

Well, that's it. Beautiful, rich. But somehow... bullshit. Not King, but kringe. If anything, I'm one of those people who even read a book at one time. It's slow and hopeless, but here it's like a carnival.

And it seems that there will be more about racism again than about it.

The scariest thing in the whole series is the kid with the pacifier.
The rest is like that.

The guy reminded me of the Smile from the TV series "From the Outside" 😁 the first episode and full of delight. Beginning and ending 🔥

Hello to the viewers! So far, the feelings are ambivalent. The pressure and the bloodshed left me a little shell-shocked, but to be honest, I haven't figured anything out yet. What's the problem with this kid who disappeared? Why is evil attached to him? Nothing just happens in movies, and even more so in horror films and thrillers. What are the other guys' motives? In It, for a moment, the beloved younger brother of the main character disappeared. And the others were his friends. Here they are not friends and the guy just disappeared - well, disappeared and disappeared... No one even remembers about the disappearance of other children in the city. And these "horrors"! A bloody baby with an umbilical cord is not scary, it's disgusting! And don't even bother with him- even if it's a baby. But why?! Why should it be scary?! It's more like a parody of the Adams family (((I'm not talking about the lamp at all - it's some kind of comedy. And by the way, as far as I remember, King was bleeding from the pipe, and not just someone talking from there. In general, if more than half of the characters hadn't been killed to hell by the end of the first episode, it would have been a disappointment. And so at least a little intrigue remains))) Because it's clear that they're not dead - there are still 7 episodes ahead! Okay, let's wait for the second episode.

My shock is that almost everyone has been killed, and I've already become attached to them.
I don't understand what people in the comments lack in acting, apparently they want DiCaprio-level kids. As for me, the guys are playing normally. I liked the guy with the UFO especially, a kind of vibe Ricci.
I really liked the first episode, it's a pity that not the whole season was released, I want to watch such series in one gulp (((

I definitely liked the first episode of the prequel series "It"! There are many references to the original films and other works of Stephen King on the spot. You can immediately feel the hand of the director who shot modern film adaptations of the original novel. Screamers and creepy moments on the spot (the scene with the birth in the car is shown through a lot of creep, as they say, girls and pregnant women should not watch).
I am sure that the children who died in the movie theater scene will come back, and this was an episode in which It simply scared the children.
The branch with the black pilot is not yet clear for what, but it is clear that this is Mike's ancestor from the original and he will be investigating the nightmares and strange events taking place in Derry.
A very atmospheric shot at the very beginning with a pacifier floating into the very sewer from where, in the original, a sinister clown invited a little boy in a yellow raincoat to "fly".
Children are not bad at acting, perhaps in the future they will gradually reveal themselves as actors. It's not for nothing that they were cast, which means they successfully passed the casting.
Overall, the pilot intrigued me. The "weekly waiting for a new episode" mode is enabled)

It's only episode 1, and there are already so many deaths.

I already want to watch all the episodes as soon as possible

At 8 minutes, the dumplings were spat out into the tablet screen... a great start🙈🤣🤣

I'm still impressed. This is the most powerful and shocking start I've seen in a long time. If the first episode is like this, I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next. 🔪🩸🤡

Nothing is clear yet, but it is very interesting.
There was some kind of rapid development of events, in one episode the kid disappeared, and the children caught glitches, and the team was formed, and they managed to kill almost everyone. I wonder what kind of family it was in the beginning, where did they come from in the first place, Perhaps related to the military base? So far, we can only speculate.
In the end, it was certainly a spectacular mess, and I was interested in the trademark Pennywise smile that appeared on Matty's face.
We are waiting for a new episode, emotions are still very mixed.

It seems that because of Halloween, Episode 2 will be released today, at least in Europe.

The beginning is simply excellent, 9.9 out of 10.

It looks like the second episode "leaked online", it was posted on coldfilm..

That's a start. You finish watching the first episode and you can't help but think, damn, what's next?.. Since we started with this. Cool! It's exciting.

Do I understand correctly that all this madness in the cinema at the end is a "vision" only for the girl in the projection room?

It's very decent, the main thing is that it continues to be like this, and not a 30-minute chatter, 15 minutes of plot development.
I didn't quite understand the reality or the nightmare at the end, and the little girl seems superfluous to me, if she lives to see the finale, then she will be a savior, 100%

Finally,

Come on, the characters on the main poster, they couldn't have died at the very beginning.

the first episode intrigued me)

What was that all about?! Are they really dead??
The first episode is just awesome. Damn, how could such scares even come to mind? What's in the beginning, what's in the end. Well, really, I wouldn't have the imagination.
The scenes and effects are cool too.

It's a good start, but it seems to me that there were some mistakes. First of all, these ubiquitous references. Lily is in the bathroom, and do you remember the scene with blood and Beverly? Do you remember, do you remember?! Do you remember there was a Jewish child? We have it too! Do you remember the losers club? Do you remember? We've also gathered kids here who are being bullied by everyone. Of course, you might think that history is cyclical. Since the clown returns every 27 years, he must be stopped by the same group of teenagers. But damn, you have a lot of space and an untilled field, I hope the new characters will be more unique.
The second is a child. It turned out to be some kind of default. He actually reminded me of a toots from the Night Watch. Plus the confusion with its size. In the beginning, he's the size of a baby. He's a baby on the screen, too, and he's suddenly big in the audience, but it takes you a while to realize that.
And finally, it's purely my claim. Where it should scare with suspense, it scares with basic screamers. A scary flickering lamp, really? Yes, racists with fire extinguishers in the window were even more frightening.
Nevertheless, the series successfully follows its full-length outline. It's not so much a horror movie as a mystery thriller. And where it was forbidden to show tin in the movies, in the series they immediately made it clear that they would not be dosed with blood and filth. We'll see what they've come up with next.

I didn 't expect such meat in the beginning 🫨

A terrible pilot indeed. Until the last moment, I was sure that now one of the heroes would wake up and all these horrors would turn out to be a nightmare. The series finale was simply devastating, literally and figuratively.😱

The fuck

So far, the most interesting character for me is the nipple of the main character 😁

It's a little weak so far, but there were more expectations. They didn't forget to throw in the bad Russians who are testing weapons, as if the Americans aren't conducting tests. The good Jews who should be pitied were not forgotten either. The girl who was in the dope for some reason thought that the voice from the sewer was real. Although she would rather have thought that it was time to go back to the fool, 100% with her reputation, she would have kept quiet. The ending is strange, maybe someone from gg fell asleep. There is a strong whiff of very strange cases, like tracing paper, but tougher on murders. I'll probably rewind it for review.

A brisk start, I'm happy, I haven't seen anything like it yet.

Childbirth is a fierce game, but the Jewish lampshade looked so ridiculous that it was impossible to be afraid.
They merged a bunch of characters too quickly. I also didn't understand how three saboteurs could enter a military base in peace.

There is much more black humor in the comments than in the series.

It's just a fire, I've been waiting a long time, there are a lot of scary moments, but childbirth is trash, I hate ordinary childbirth in movies, and this is well treeeeshatina

I do not share the contradictory impressions and general enthusiasm in the comments. Horror stories are creepy, but they actually balance on the edge of a cringe: and if it was a feature in AI, then it looks like it here... strange. But we need to see how they develop further. Alas, there is no atmosphere here. To be honest, the references don't look like references, but copy-pasted ones to play on nostalgia - obviously, it's a success for most viewers. Well, the general "doll-like", "fake" pictures were not pleased: if the tower, then it shines with brand-new plastic, if the sun, then it is an artificially supplied light. Everything is so clean and smooth... almost like the total absence of racism in 1962.

Great first episode. Kids + horror is vin vin, we're watching it while we like it, but, personally, of course, according to my taste preferences, the ending is meat, I'm still more into psychological horror

Watch with a grain of salt: it's a bit creepy, playing on a sense of nostalgia. Freddy reminds me in places. There are a lot of buttons and screamers, but not just to the point of being fucked up, because in addition to the references, there must be something fundamentally new for the sophisticated brain to get enough of the tension.
As something separate: the shooting is gorgeous, the costumes and editing, the disgust is as it should be (the birthing scene won: "D), the faces are brand new.

This losers club is suddenly disbanded.An unexpected start for the series.

Teddy was such an interesting and enjoyable character, and they killed him in the first episode (

The girl didn't play very well, or such a role. But the rest is cheerful, sometimes even frightening. I didn't expect this from the first episode, I didn't expect it.

It's still doubtful. Let's look further. It seems like you just have to come to terms with the characters, as the game of thrones began.…

Acting per unit

Will you eat it right away? Not
Horror movies for dumb people
And where does It come from with some kind of winged monster?😆
And where is it?
Some kind of unfinished monster, fluttering somehow, it would have more wings to carry such a carcass😆

The Jewish father's attic flowed, of course, to tell a high school student about the horrors of Buchenwald before going to bed.

Who can tell you which translation is better to watch?

The scriptwriters decided not to stand on ceremony and from the very first minutes they rushed in with two legs and a tin can. Promising.

In general, the first episode is not bad, as for me the coolest (at the same time creaky) scene is when they saw their friend in the cinema. And so, in general, I can say the following about the weak acting of the boys - you don't have to worry too much about the game if you know that you will be killed at the end of episode 1. Something like that (well, the storyline with the military and what's hidden at the military base is also interesting).

I sat through the whole episode with my mouth open, it was creepy, powerful, and overall just wow

It seems to me that the children are not dead in the end, and the "divers" are some kind of initiation type test, and not some real spies, otherwise the series went pretty cheerfully, we look at the bottom further.

A cheerful beginning
