Good evening readers, I hope everyone is having a great month so far, I can’t believe we are almost to the tail end of November?! Like where did the month go? It’s a train without any stops speeding recklessly to 2026. It’s one of those moments where you realize the time that you had, all that time there really wasn’t that much in the first place, it’s an illusion. But I wanted to write not about time slipping like sand through an hourglass but rather about Welcome To Derry, let’s brew about it!
So, I know I talked a bit about Welcome To Derry before but I’d like to cover the show as the story unravels. I was a bit iffy on the first episode, I feel like they were really going for shock value at first. The series follows Ronnie, Marge, Will and Rich 4 misfits that come together (similar flavor as the movies) to try to free Ronnie’s dad from possibly being locked up due to the kids in the first episode getting killed by Pennywise. As the kids try to show proof of Ronnie’s dad’s innocence the military tries to find a weapon against the cold war enemies.
One of my favorite characters in The Shining just so happens to crossover into this series which heard about Stephen King doing this with his characters, it is the young Dick Hallorann, whom, shown Danny how to use the Shine. Dick was known as a prior service member and in this show he is trying to find the source. I practically jumped out of my seat with excitement. I can’t wait for the next episode!
But what do you think of the series so far? what don’t you like about the series? Which character is your favorite or what are you most excited to see happen?
As Always Keep On Brewin!
