Is this any good?
Halfway through the first ep and not sure I like it so far, does it get better?
Also, is it scary? I'm generally not great with scary stuff but I do like a small adrenaline rush lol |

"I didn't find it gripped me the way that The Haunting of Hill House did, & certainly didn't find it as scary, but it was quite enjoyable.
K "
Not scary is good! I don't want to be scared  |

You will get the whole story in the last two episode, more like a mixture of love and strange story |

I watched the haunting of bly manor before the haunting of hill house.
I enjoyed both, but preferred the haunting of hill house. It was a little weird seeing half a dozen of the same actors in each programme but you quickly get used to it.

"I finished it. It was pretty good. The suspense was a lot scarier than the ghosts. It helps that I saw a "behind the scenes" 0ost"
*post on buzzfeed where they showed the ghost actors in their rubber masks which took away a lot of the creepiness. I'm going to try Hill House now but I've heard that's a lot scarier so I'm a bit nervous haha |

Hill house is a lot scarier but it’s well worth the watch.. |

I finished it a little while ago and I loved it. I liked it better than hill house to be honest.
Its creepy, emotional, beautifully shot and the cast are great.
Give it a chance =) |

So I watched Hill House in two days and slept with the lights on for both of them 
The story was great, far superior than Bly Manor! I'm glad I watched them in the order I did or I think I would have been really disappointed. The storyline and drama made it worth it but I just don't enjoy being scared!!!  |

I finished it last night, it was pretty bad.
I mean it started well, the 1st 3 episodes were good. But then it kinda lost the plot, threw every cliché in the book at it and stretched it incredibly thin to get 9 episodes out of the story. The last 2 episodes were ridiculous. They should have tightened it up, cut out the pointless dross, like she slept, she woke, she walked  it would have played a lot better in 5 maybe 6 episodes. |

I didn't mind the plot and the pacing (in fact the Viola episode helped make everything a lot less scary for me which was great) but I found a lot of the dialogue to be really cheesy and cringe - especially Owen's! |

"Hill House is genuinely unsettling. The funeral home episode when the camera constantly circles the actors is brilliant "
Yes I was constantly on edge. I basically watched the last two episodes from behind a blanket though |

Yep, cringy dialogue and cheese grater accents. The narrator would drop and change accent mid sentence. |

I'm halfway through Bly Manor - I'm a bit pathetic when it comes to Creepy things and I'm not sure if I'm enjoying it or not 
I'm not sure I want to finish it  |

Managed to binge it all in one sitting. Probably not a good idea as it requires a lot of concentration througout. The pacing is slow and it jumps back and forth in time line. Hill House was a lot easier to digest and was more captivating. Personally, I found it a tough slog and the pay off at the end fell short. |

"It was “perfectly splendid”
I thought the children's acting was superb, far better than any of the adults in way of intensity and creepiness. "
Absolutely, it was the children who made it creepy.
