3/5

As frustrating as the storytelling can be, I can’t deny there are individual elements that really work.

Episode 7 is a devastating, yet great, penultimate episode that puts us back on track for a big ensemble confrontation with Pennywise.

C-

This episode, especially, is hurt because all of the real estate devoted to its big, flashy set piece means it has little time for the things the series is good at, i.e., grounded character work from its gifted adult cast.

7/10

Though the narrative’s clunky, excellent performances from Bill Skarsgård, Arian S. Cartaya, Matilda Lawler, and Chris Chalk are enough to keep Welcome to Derry’s penultimate episode focused on the show’s greatest strength.

The long take during the fire is unconvincing, but the backstory for Bob Gray and poor Rich's sacrifice make for a compelling episode.

4/5

And Episode 7, "The Black Spot", is a brutal reminder that there’s no magical, unexplainable origin to the kind of fear and pain that satiates Pennywise. It’s innately human.
