Episode Guide Galanthus Byzantinus Cat, Box, Funnel Zone 6 High Fever Dawn broke, House hand die 13 to 7 Rose and Thorn My name doesn’t matter Dystopian dramas tend come out a dime a dozen these days. There are so many on the small screen now, and that’s before counting the upcoming juggernaut of The Last Of Us next year. From Station 19 and The Walking Dead to Black Summer, and more intriguing concepts like Sisyphus: The Myth, it’s increasingly difficult to stand out in this field....

IT manages to recreate some of what makes the book so good but its reliance on CG effects does dilute some of the horror on-screen....
