I was mourning and a friend wanted to cheer me up with a movie night, so we scrolled Netflix and chose a scary show to watch! It was the Haunting of Bly Manor.
positive · AI labelView post →I first read this book when The Haunting of Bly Manor was announced, but I’ve forgotten a lot about how it goes on its own in contrast to the show. One thing that definitely stands out is how the mystery of the last governess seems to be predicting Rebecca, another big favorite.🪛 #blysky

neutral · AI labelView post →Looking for some great television? Here are four mini-series by Mike Flanagan. They're exquisite. "The Haunting of Hill House" (2018) "The Haunting of Bly Manor" (2020) "Midnight Mass" (2021) "The Fall of the House of Usher" (2023)

The Haunting of Bly Manor is an incredibly cozy series about terrible things happening to the nicest lesbian you've ever met.

unlabelledView post →On a side note, I watched Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor recently, which I didn’t think was near as good as Haunting of Hill House, but the finale of Bly Manor was about as soul-crushing and outright sad of any TV show I’ve watched in years.
unlabelledView post →The Haunting of Bly Manor doesn't make the list because I think the show as a whole isn't as strong as Hill House or Midnight Mass, but does win for "most devastating final shot"

Currently WiP is a vampire romance told from the perspective of a man turned in his 40s, waxing poetic about the beautiful man who made him. Favorite bingeable show is probable The Haunting of Bly Manor. I keep re-watching it. >.<
unlabelledView post →These Netflix miniseries are catalogued on both IMDB and likely more importantly The Movie Db (the default Jellyfin metadata agent, possibly what you’re using if you’ve not changed it) as 2 different shows. Not 2 seasons of 1 show. - The Haunting of Hill House (2018): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/72844-the-haunting - The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/109958-the-haunting-of-bly-manor/seasons Hill House is 10 episodes. Bly Manor is 9 episodes. So you should…

The penultimate episode made me feel like I was in a fog, I’ve never experienced that with any other show/movie

unlabelledView post →I think the 'Haunting of Hill House' and the 'Haunting of Bly Manor' are two of the most wonderfully executed seasons of TV. They were kept to one season each and used every moment flawlessly. For anime, Princess Tutu has one of the best finals I've ever watched. 10/10 show all round.

unlabelledView post →Yeah, I didn't watch it until a year or so after it came out & when I finally got around to it was shocked at how good it was. The Haunting of Bly Manor (Flanagan's next series) is good too but I like Hill House a bit more. The characters hit w/ me in a clearer way. Enjoy the rest of it!
unlabelledView post →Idk who the white guy is, but the brown dude is Rahul Kohli. He was a main character in the show iZombie (really good) and he is one of the actors that appears in those horror shows like The Haunting of Bly Manor, Hill House, Fall of the House of Usher, etc. They’re like American Horror story.
