yes, both actors sold it with just their eyes really, the way they would glance at each other or roll their eyes at one of Owen’s puns. it really was a superbly done relationship

The third time they did the discussion, just Kohli selling the ‘Oh, we’re still doing this’ was such a masterful transition.

“I didn’t want the whole review to turn too much into a diatribe about queer representation...”

they’re fantastic. I wanted to watch Dani/Jamie and Hannah/Owen double date, celebrate holidays, fuss over the kids’ big milestones.

It might also be she killed Peter because he presented a threat to the house too- or because he resembled someone she hated/played a similar role. I’m really curious why she killed him, if we ever figure it out. I think she *might* have a connection to that faceless boy- and the fact that both their faces are gone…

Owen’s cheesy puns are so good. I honestly think I would’ve watched a whole season of Owen, Hannah, Jamie and Dani just hanging out in the kitchen talking about nothing. their characters are so great and the cast has insane chemistry with one another

T’Nia Miller and Rahul Kohli absolutely blew me away in this episode. the latter especially, when he changed from pleasant Owen in a memory to Hannah’s conscience yelling at her within the space of a second, was scarier than any of the actual ghosts in this season. and just watching Miller’s incredibly expressive face…

That final campfire scene was so wrenching! T’nia Miller just killed it this episode. She also manages to pull off some that semi-matronly 80s fashion.

Do you...remember what it was like to be queer before the 2000s? Nowadays, even though people still live in the closet, the cultural opinion has changed rapidly. It was still scandalous in 1997 when Ellen Degeneres came out. In 1987? LGBTQ people were villainized and the US just started to do something about the AIDS…

Between this and Hill House, Mike Flanagan is really into not just spooky, moody haunted houses but the ways that trauma, grief and loss haunt us. It’s really something.

Yeah, pretty classic Tudor Revival/Jacobethan style so could be anywhere between 1880 and 1930. Maybe replaced an older house that went with the chapel?

I would like to see an AU where Owen and Ted from Schitt’s Creek have a pun-off. Those two sweeties. 

The house itself for sure isn’t, it looks like a Victorian era construction. The chapel looks considerably older though so that implies there was something there before the current manor. Could be why the plague doctor is largely on the ground floor/outside

So the house is like spectral fly paper. That explains the soldier and the plague doctor, though the house doesn’t look old enough for that, so maybe it’s the land rather than the house? 

-“Alcohol you later” oh no Owen that pun is brutal.

The Lady of the Lake is such an intriguing mystery. I don’t think it’s Charlotte, both because Flora was adamant that her parents weren’t there and because there was a scene when Flora was doing those gravestone echings that the camera lingered on a woman’s name in the chapel. While I don’t remember the name, I’m…

Oh, this episode broke my poor little fragile heart. I suspected Hannah was a ghost, but I didn’t want it to be true. She deserved better.  

This episode was simply magnificent. About fifteen minutes in, I was a little bit worried if it could maintain the memory jump aspect over the whole 50 minutes, but it not only did that, it exceeded any expectations. I also think it did an awesome job in establishing what it means to be a ghost in Bly Manor, where you…

Hi! Loving your reviews, but I thought you were a tad hard on this episode. It doesn’t seem to me like the shoulder rub was the only earlier indication of Dani’s queerness; I could tell she had chemistry with Jaime from their earlier interactions, to the point that when I saw her at the engagement party I was like…

- Mirror Man/Edmund. Not a villain and But I do think it’s creepy that he’s left the mirror and also showing up more frequently. Not sure if that’s meant to be a manifestation of Dani’s trauma/grief coming closer to the surface. I do agree with some comments on here that it would have been better to space his…
