"The Netflix juggernaut 'Stranger Things' will command more attention this festive season, but 'It: Welcome to Derry', which explains the origin of Pennywise the Dancing Clown (played by Bill Skarsgård) is by far the superior of the two Stranger Things 5, which brings the epic - and epically bloated - horror/sci-fi saga to a close with three episodes on St Stephen's Day and a jumbo-sized finale on New Year's Eve, will inevitably dominate the TV conversation over the festive season."
"with three episodes on St Stephen's Day and a jumbo-sized finale on New Year's Eve, will inevitably dominate the TV conversation over the festive season. After almost 10 years, can creators the Duffer Brothers tie the many strands of the sprawling story up in a nice, tight Christmas bow, or will Stranger Things join Lost and Game of Thrones in the pantheon of series that failed to stick the landing? We'll have to wait a little longer to find out."
Stranger Things 5 concludes a near-decade horror/sci-fi saga with three episodes on St Stephen's Day and a jumbo-sized finale on New Year's Eve. The season is described as epic and epically bloated. It: Welcome to Derry explains the origin of Pennywise the Dancing Clown (played by Bill Skarsgård) and is judged superior to Stranger Things. The Duffer Brothers face the challenge of tying many strands of the sprawling story into a satisfying conclusion. The series' legacy is uncertain, with comparisons drawn to Lost and Game of Thrones as shows that failed to stick their finales. Audience and critical reaction will determine the ultimate outcome.
