I almost watched this yesterday afternoon, but decided on something else in the end.. think I might check it out this week... maybe.. lol

I forced myself to watch the last episode last night and have to say, it was so boring, I could hardly stay awake. Well, at least I can say I gave it every chance to interest me possible.

Wow. I thought it was a wonderful take on THoHH too. Really scared me - so much so that after streaming 4 episodes, I accompanied the husband and dog on their midnight walk because I was afraid to stay in the house alone! Next night, made said husband come to bed after streaming episodes 5-8 because I refused to go upstairs alone! I loved the final episode but hated the ending. Hill House wouldn't be that nice.

Do you think they will make another season? I think a prequel could work.

As I've said noted before, I very much appreciate your horror movie reviews. Have you seen Mr. Frost with Jeff Goldblum? Eeek!

Believe it or not, I have not finished the series. I stopped after the 5th episode because it's become a family show and my son went on vacation with his father, so I had to put a pin in it. He will be back tomorrow, so tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow!

As I've said noted before, I very much appreciate your horror movie reviews.

Thank you!!!

Have you seen Mr. Frost with Jeff Goldblum?

I have not even heard of that. The cost of cable is obscene in our isolated, little town so I keep to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime.

csk

The episodes were rather long, but the writers really delved into the character's mindset. Their personalities were believable to me as individuals coming from traumatic childhood experiences. The lengthy episodes conveyed that and I'm not sure it would have worked otherwise. Each child grew up and manifested the horrors in different ways. The last episode was extremely long and it was a disappointing/overly sappy ending. I agree with the poster that stated that the house would not have been so nice, lol.
Oh, and the ghosts were a lovely (albeit creepy) cinematic backdrop. The character biographies could have been the result of any trauma: alcoholism, physical/emotional abuse, etc. It would have worked even without Hill House.

I saw it once years ago. From what I remember it was great. Not sure if would hold up but I’d watch it again.
