Episode 2: The Thing in the Dark

Summary

After joining Leroy at their new house in Derry, Charlotte is left with a strange feeling while running errands in town, and Will is teased on his first day of school. Later, Lilly faces pressure from all sides about what really happened at the cinema and Ronnie worries about her father's fate

Review

Laura Rutkowski

The bloodbath at the end of last week’s first episode was a bold move, essentially killing off most of the children we thought were going to lead the series. It struck in a cinema, leaving only two girls behind: Lilly (Clara Stack) and Ronnie (Amanda Christine). As Ronnie’s dad Hank Grogan runs the place, that makes him the police’s number one suspect. There are some intriguing Easter eggs, including a neat nod to the original drama when Leroy Hanlan (Jovan Adepo), a major in the US Air Force, welcomes his wife Charlotte (Taylour Paige) and son Will to Derry.
