Yeah, I'm in more or less the same boat. I've read the book (as well as a substantial portion of King's output) and have seen both the Tim Curry miniseries and the more recent movies, so I'm pretty much committed to it even if it doesn't grab me, but Mrs. Doom is coming into this with no frame of reference.

It reminds me of Castle Rock in that regard.  
 

I am digging the focus on Halloran using the shine; I’ve basically lost interest in the kids and I’m considering Halloran the main character (I say that, I’ve never seen Taylour Paige in anything previously and she’s terrific, and I’m hoping we get to see her do more).  
 

The show does seem to have taken King’s stated goal of “…I will try to terrorize the reader.  But if I find I cannot terrify I will try to horrify.  If I find I cannot horrify I will go for the gross-out.  I’m not proud.”

And they clearly didn’t want to pay Bill Skarsgard for more than a cameo so that’s disappointing

I think it’s more that the clown becomes less scary the more you see him.

Damn. I was hoping this was Derry Girls related. 

Pennywise haunting the Derry Girls would make for some fantastic cinema

Saw Skarsgard's name in the credits as a producer so I figure he'll get some run at some point.  Seems like they threw a bag at him for at least a cameo. Maybe they're letting anticipation build. 

Agree the show has remained kinda mid.  With it being a prequel not based on King source material my expectations were on the low side.

The backstory with the Native Americans was interesting as it touched more on It's origins. I wonder if King had input because I don't remember it being in the book.
