Anyone watching this or finished it? We flew through it in two days. I think it's getting a bad rap with a bunch of people comparing it to Haunting of Hill House. It is NOT as scary...at all. There are several jumps and very creepy things no question. But this is a slow, methodical, yet in my opinion more riveting story than Hill House. It just depends on what you're expecting. Don't go in thinking it's scary and horror. It's a different kind of 'haunting'. And it's incredibly sad. It definitely plods along in places...almost every episode could honestly be cut by 15 minutes, maybe more.
If you're looking for scares...Hill House is better no question.
If you're looking for a better overall story? I think Bly Manor has the better overall story.
You can't go wrong with either...as long as you know heading in to Bly Manor that it's not nearly as scary. I will say Bly Manor is best in the final five episodes. Get to episode 5. It's worth it.
