. And Skarsgård's performance as Pennywise? Forget about it, he's giving me major chills 
. I love how they're exploring the mythology of Derry in this season, it's like they're slowly unraveling this dark history and I am HERE FOR IT 
. The social commentary is also on point, tackling issues like racism and oppression... it's not just a horror show, it's a commentary on our society 
. Bring on the finale, I'm ready to scream my head off 
The atmosphere is supposed to be seriously eerie and I need all the scares 
. Anyone else watching this with me?

The show must go on, but sometimes it's better to let the darkness fade away

I've been invested in the story since the beginning and I need to know what happens next. The cast is doing an amazing job, especially Skarsgård as Pennywise... he's just so unsettling! 
. Like, can we just have one day without that creepy clown face haunting our dreams? 
. I mean, I'm just here for the Bill Skarsgård eye candy 
, tbh. But hey, if you're a fan of the show (and by that, I mean you're obsessed with Pennywise like me), then go ahead and binge-watch the finale 
. I've been hooked from episode one, and I'm so sad that it's over 
. Can't wait to see what happens next... or if they'll ever make another season
