The Haunting (2018)
The essence of the best that ghost horror stories have to offer. An excellent premise, interesting treatment, some episodes are examples of almost perfect filmmaking – some of the most interesting ones are roughly in the middle of the series. It’s simply a treat… it hasn’t happened to me in a very long time that I would be watching a TV show every day, looking for moments when I could watch another episode. I’m glad that this feeling still exists. The Haunting of Hill House convinced me it does.

The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020) (S02)
After the brilliance of The Haunting of Hill House, I never would’ve guessed that Mike Flanagan could slip into such mediocrity, but Bly Manor does just that. I had my doubts, especially after Midnight Mass, and unfortunately, they were spot on. The first half feels like a dull, young adult version of The Sixth Sense — not much substance there. However, the second half does pick up a bit, and just when you think it’s a total snooze, the story starts to get interesting. There are even a few ghostly moments that are genuinely compelling. But when you compare it to the brilliance of Hill House, Bly Manor still feels like a watered-down version.
