The Haunting of Bly Manor

I won't give it a 10 however did anyone cry on the last episode ... as some of you have said you cannot compare this to the first season because this has a different story like though I wish it would have been a continued of the first season and it was what I was expecting . There were some Parts that were a little scary but I don't think it was as scary at all I think this season was more of a romantic suspense plot. It was well written and if you are going to watch you must pay attention to every detail . It seems like most of every character has its own little personal story line and then it all comes together about the whole story line.

It was good ..

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.

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...

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 .

I looooved the Hill house and was looking forward to the same creators producing a new masterpiece, but in my opinion they didn't. The first 4 episodes are sooo slow and borderline boring, to the point where I almost stopped watching. Glad I didn't, because the 2nd half was way better. But all together it didn't hit a home run for me. Not bad, just not great.

btw am I the only one who got annoyed by "perfectly splendid"?!
