Eh, The Miniseries was a product of its time. And it worked. Tim Curry did a fantastic job, given what he was going for. Where IT 2017 is successful is it captures more of the "grunge" of the book, while being a very different beast from the 1990 Miniseries.

It's why I don't compare them directly.

Okay, that's definitely fair. I mean, you have two different productions looking for two different outcomes in the same genre.
