IT: Welcome to Derry - Episodes 1–3 Review & Reactions
Surviving Derry One Bad Decision at a Time
Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace and The Evil Barbie Edy head straight into the worst tourist trap in America: Derry, Maine — where balloons float, morals don’t, and Pennywise is basically the HOA president.
The duo tears into Welcome to Derry, dissecting how this prequel ties back to IT, why the town itself should be declared a biohazard, and which characters desperately need therapy, relocation, or both. They dive into the messy friendship drama, the racial tension baked into the story, Marge’s struggle to fit in, and Lily’s ongoing commitment to making terrible life choices.
They also break down the personalized fears haunting the group, the questionable military involvement (because of course the government shows up late and confused), and the moment Pennywise steps onto the scene to remind everyone why Derry never has a full graduating class.
