The Haunting of Bly Manor

I loved Hill House but this isn't Hill House, it's Bly Manor. As soon as I got that into my head I was able to enjoy Bly Manor for what it is.

Yes, the season is a bit of a slow start as the setting is being established and the "rules" for the haunting. But even in its slow start the writers are doing tremendous work and there are some phenomenal performances. Most American actors suck at a British accent, so I can overlook that. Though I do find it hilarious how people were shaming Owen's accent when the actor used his real accent for the role.

As the story picks up and the audience puts the pieces together there are many emotional revelations. Since the characters are so well crafted the ending is both fitting and devastating. If that ending doesn't make you cry, then you're a cold person.

I probably won't be watching Bly Manor again whereas I rewatched Hill House plenty of times but I hope that Netflix will consider renewing the series for another haunting because I really love the work the writers, cast and crew are doing here.

This story has so many turning points ,just like the hill house and the growth of each character is just "perfectly splendid". You will laugh ,you will fear,and you definitely would love on how gradually and mysteriously the story grows. They actually did save the best for the last . The story has so many folds and yet doesn't loose it's touch of sense and keeps us guessing what's going on . The last 2 episodes joins all the loose ends , solves all the mysteries and answers all the questions that you have in your mind since the 1st episode. You might find yourselves confused about what's happening and how it's happening ,and the show writers have done a great job letting us guess and wonder on what's going ,that even if we are right ,there is another twist to that theory. This was a show of beautiful writing, beautiful acting and most importantly ,a show that ends with peace .

While Bly left me looking forward to the next installment, it also left me longing for something Hill House delivered that fell short here. Still a great watch.... it's just not the complete masterpiece The Haunting of Hill House is.

You know when you attend a 3 day course and you leave at the end thinking we could have achieved that in half a day? Well...

I loved this amazing show very much. I was expecting something like Haunting of Hill House, but it's very different. Later I understood that it's a love instead of a horror story and from there on I totally got lost into it. Flanagan has really done a fantastic job, but I think the marketing team messed up a little bit here. It should be marketed differently from the previous one because these two are actually two totally different genre stories.

I can't say much mostly because I am still lost in this beautiful love story and it's so freaking satisfying. I do say that the first 4 episodes could have been shorten into just 2 but it really picked up from episode 5. I also would say that I did miss the Bent -neck lady here but Episode 5 came really close. Last two episodes are real master pieces.

I really have nothing bad to say about this show... People just remember, forget about Haunting of Hill House before you watch this. It's a entirely different story.
