Netflix follows up their hit haunted house series The Haunting of Hill House with The Haunting of Bly Manor. Based on the works of Henry James, the story follows an au pair who’s hired to care for two orphaned children at a mansion in the English countryside, but grows concerned when a mysterious man appears and the children start behaving strangely. Several of the cast members from Hill House return as different characters, and it follows the same basic structure; switching between two time periods and focusing each episode on a character. However, the series ends up being more about a lesbian romance than a haunting, and the directing is rather weak. Still, the mystery of Bly Manor is fairly interesting and has some creepy, frightening moments. The Haunting of Bly Manor isn’t as good as Hill House, but it’s a decent enough series.
