Created by Mike Flanagan, Netflix's horror-drama web series, The Haunting of Bly Manor released yesterday. The show is loosely based on the 1898 horror novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.
So, in case you're wondering how good or bad the show is and if it's worth your time, here are some tweets that you can read before making your choice.
Why is #BlyManor so good that I can't turn it off and go to bed even though I am dead tired

#BlyManor @RahulKohli13 finished BINGE watching Bly Manor. (it's freaking 6am rn) pitching in to say 1. IM IN FLOODS OF TEARS. 2. You absolutely killed it dude. the whole cast did - but I'm a longtime izombie fan and when I saw you on screen i was like 'RAHUL'. A++++

All said and done, Bly Manor is an objectively cool story but it’s no Hill House. No emotional connection to the characters. Hill House was about a family, stricken by grief and (not) healing from trauma, who were haunted. Bly Manor is just a ghost story. @haunting #BlyManor

@jujumarie88 just started #BlyManor episode 5 and...wtf is going on? Can someone give me some insight? I've been trying to work the symbolism angle but nothing makes sense.

Yeah I wanted all of #BlyManor in one day and WOW. That was BEAUTIFUL.

I really can't stop thinking about how wonderful #BlyManor was. I was scared that it'd only live in the great shadow cast by #HillHouse, but it was deeply complex, intense, and it carried the torch with magnificent ease. I'm still in awe of the effect Bly had on my emotions.

I will say that Hill House was more terrifying than Bly Manor. #BlyManor was a great story, just fantastic writing and great use of shots to try and find the hidden ghosts. That ending 🥺
#BlyManor isn’t just a ghost story. It’s also very emotional.😭

Creepy kids, doll collection and a big empty mansion = perfect recipe for nightmares #BlyManor #netflix

I’m trynna figure out why #BlyManor isn’t hitting as hard as #HillHouse ...and it’s occurred to me that I would have to give a shit about these weird ass kids.
