Shows that feel likeIt (1990)

In 1960, seven outcast kids known as "The Losers' Club" fight against an ancient shape-shifting alien who poses as a child-killing clown, while also dealing with bullies and abusive parents. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the creature once and for all when it returns to their hometown.

If you loved It, the closest series we have are Another (2012), 13 Reasons Why (2017) and Carrie (2026). All three share It's twisty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Broadchurch (2013).
