    It's not a horror story, It's a love story!!!

    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 .

    It's no 'Hill House' but it's good in its own right

    The show is nowhere near as frightening or memorable as it's predecessor, The autopsy scene in that show still gives me nightmares.

    While this show does fall short of 'Hill House' it can still stand on its own legs. It's an entirely different story and it seems to have entirely different goals.

    The story is tragic and beautiful. The third episode had me nearly in tears. The characters were sympathetic and compelling. I binge watched the whole thing and I loved doing it.

    That being said I almost wish the shows creators didn't aim for this type of story a "love story" as they plainly say in the show. I wanted something creepier and this show isn't meant to scare, but rather gut punch and evoke a sense of loss which it does rather well.

    The narrative is also a bit convoluted which takes away any sense of progression in the plot. The reliance on flashbacks is interesting (side note-one entire episode is a flashback) but I might have preferred a more linear progression. A lot of plot points are simply abandoned at whim, and threads left underdeveloped for the sake of these flashbacks.

    All in all it stands well on its own but in reference to its predecessor it pales in comparison and I find myself wishing that they had made another show.

    Just OK

    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"?!

    Phantom Menace

    A year ago, I watched and enjoyed "The Haunting of Hill House" so was very happy to find that the spiritual sequel had made it to completion before covid shutdown. Much like last years effort, the scarier aspects are just trappings really, with "Bly Manor" being a tragic, or perhaps a series of tragic, love stories - with ghosts.

    Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti) comes to a big Stately home in England to act as Nanny for two small children, who's parents have died. Though the children are charming, both Flora (Amelie Bea Smith) and Miles (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) are prone to spells of absence, or sudden personality shifts. The house is old and has been around for centuries and has many ghosts, both literal and figurative, but Dani has a secret, that she has been haunted by a figure from her past long before arriving in Bly.

    My gut feeling is that, particularly after the opening few episodes, "Bly Manor" is less scary than "Hill House" was. So, if being scared is all the worth you're going to attribute to the show, then you'll almost certainly be disappointed. (I do accept that it's not advertised that way and maybe that needs addressing if there's a third version next year). The "secret" ghost idea returns from "Hill House", so much of the fun is spent scanning the backgrounds for the ghosts in various doorways, at the end of corridors and in mirrors, just quietly watching the action unfold.

    Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Henry Thomas and Carla Gugino all return from last year. But they're joined by Amelia Eve, Tahirah Sharif and most importantly by the pair of T'Nia Miller and Rahul Kohli as the Manor's housekeeper and cook respectively and the shows most compelling will-they-won't-they-pair.

    Admittedly, the show could have done with a few more surprises or, perhaps less predictable twists, along the way. A couple of the shows reveals we had the gist of well before it was actually revealed. For reasons I shouldn't explain, Carla Gugino is attempting a Northern English accent which I feel I want to award points for effort for, even if it's not entirely successful. Henry Thomas' plummy Southern accent is even less so.

    I'd have liked scarier, I'd have liked a few more unexpected twists, but ultimately I enjoyed this melancholy, gothic, tragic story and hope to return to the house next year.

    • Trivia
      This is the 35th adaptation for film/TV of the Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw. A movie remake telling a modern version of the tale called The Turning (2020) was released in theaters a few months before this series premiered.
    • Goofs
      Bly Manor has North American early 20th century push button light switches and sockets throughout the building despite being set somewhere in Essex, England. Buildings electrified in early 20th century England would have had toggle switches and round two pin sockets. By the 1980s, when the series is set, there would have been modern UK sockets and switches if the building had ever been rewired. Henry's office and Peter's flat have the correct UK switches.
