Louis Peitzman New York Magazine/Vulture Dec 1
2/5
You could argue that this is the series putting the pieces in place for the final two episodes, but it’s still a slog to get through, and a reminder of the larger problem of dragging this story out over the course of eight episodes. Go to Full Review William Hughes AV Club Dec 1
B
One of Welcome To Derry’s best episodes to date—when it’s not getting bogged down in Darth Vader-esque revelations about who is, or isn’t, the deluded spawn of our resident murder clown. Go to Full Review Justin Carreiro InBetweenDrafts Jan 5
8/10
"In the Name of the Father" served several big plot developments that changed the TV series and movies at large. Go to Full Review Chris Gallardo Tell-Tale TV Dec 3
3/5
It: Welcome to Derry Season 1 Episode 6 is a troubling, yet adequately intense, episode with more social paranoia and unusual character twists that’s carried by Halloran and the Losers Club. Go to Full Review Tom Jorgensen IGN Movies Dec 1
7/10
“In the Name of the Father” does a good job of re-establishing the stakes going into Welcome to Derry’s climax, as the fallout of Pennywise’s emergence forces characters to get their priorities in order. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Dec 1
4/5
The adults – some of them, anyway – fear not just for their own lives but the lives of their families, driven to panicky violence as a way to "protect" them. The racists are out in force. For Pennywise, things are going perfectly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
