The Haunting of Bly Manor 1x1 "The Great Good Place" | Full Reaction
I’m immediately fascinated by the story of Dani Clayton and the children of Bly Manor. This show has done an incredible job of introducing these characters, making me care about them while also layering in intrigue that has me questioning everything.
Welcome! Since this is the first episode of the series I've made this available for everyone! You will need your own copy of the episode to watch along, I'm watching along on Netflix
I upload these episodes to Patreon, but some people prefer the youtube video player so I provide a YouTube link as well.
Enjoy!

Hill House was already quite stretching the definition of "adaptation," and this one goes even farther, as that credit "Based on the work of Henry James" isn't kidding. While the main story is based on his most famous book The Turn of the Screw, characters and plot points from quite a few of his other books are also thrown in, and somehow it doesn't feel overstuffed at all, and everything makes sense together. First off, the family's last name is never given in that book, and the name Wingrave is taken from The Romance of Certain Old Clothes.
I think that’s really cool! Really is the true meaning of adaptation.
I saw "The Great Good Place" in the title in my notifications and thought for a moment you were doing The Good Place lol
I wish! If only I could make my 10th watch through a reaction 😭 or however many times I've watched it.
