Bill Skarsgård completely stuns the viewers with his duality in this episode of the series. At the beginning of this episode, a flashback scene shows Pennywise’s life. He wanted his work to entertain children. IT was drawn to Pennywise’s ability to draw children; he then ate him and took his shape to terrorize people.

Pennywise, the original clown’s emotional nuances that can be seen in his conversation with his daughter, along with IT’s villainous attributes, are brought forth in this episode in a distinct manner by the very talented Bill Skarsgård.
