Went in expecting another adaptation, safe but comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by Its approach.
To go back and considering a different way things could've gone can be a tricky line to walk, but the show pulls It off.
The show chooses to go for a path of healing in the way It confronts the issues of the characters, and Lets everyone grow instead of just being dispatched by our protagonists.
It Is a bit weird that Scott Is not as present in the story, but at the end It all comes down to him, sort of a "It's not Scott's story, but a story about Scott" angle.
While also bringing the perspective to a voice to the other side of the relationship, It's not that the comic didn't flesh out Ramona, It did, but always from Scott's point of View, now the show gave her a turn to tell It herself.
