The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Loved this Turn of the Screw
I loved this story for many reasons. I liked Hill House as well, but they are different stories that should be enjoyed individually.
Bly Manor delivers the same amount of horror and complexity of the characters...but adds romance as a major topic. I liked this diversity in storytelling, this little change.
It is lightly based on The Turn of the Screw, a gothic novel by Henry James. They did an awesome job in creating a coherent story from a boring novel with to many possible interpretations. In the series the story is well explained and has a clear ending.
Loved the depiction of the lesbian romance and its relevance in the story.
Hill House was awesome, so well written, but the final chapter seemed poor in comparison to the others, and the ending "rushed". In Bly Manor, the story is more coherent and has a better written ending.
