I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this show and your discussions and theories. I'd love to see you react to more of Mike Flanagan's shows in the future. I'm not a huge Bly Manor fan, but I think that's an unpopular opinion. It's fine, just not a favorite. Midnight Mass is right up there with Hill House for me, although they are completely different stories. I also really enjoyed The Fall of the House of Usher, but it's definitely unhinged and I think is probably the one I hear the most polarizing views on.

2024-11-04 00:19:14 +0000 UTCIs Midnight Mass really the least liked? It's up there with Hill House for me. They're like 1A and 1B.

2024-11-04 00:15:24 +0000 UTCWhen they were carrying Luke, they stopped bc steve either tripped over the dead body or saw it. Which is why his dad said and kept repeating: you saw it and didn't tell them. Also ghosts are not see through, they're very tangible in that house with the power to haunting you miles away. It's very easy for ghost dad to help carry Luke and hide his dead body from the girls

2024-11-02 22:09:38 +0000 UTCGuys we only saw ghost abigail after her death. Edit. Again, pudgeysaid as a passing comment to justify the ghost dad point, that "imagine how real abigail was for Luke". Again Luke always interacted with the real abigail, until the night when the mum poisoned her. Luke saw her ghost in the window from the car, after she died. Next we saw ghost abigail from nell's perspective when she returned to the house and her mum(evil of the house) kills nell. Abigail was always ghost only after she died. Its the horror of the abigail story. She was hidden from the world to protect her. That made her lonely and seek out company. She finds a friend, who incidentally is never believed about over anything. Goes to stay over with what's her only friend in the world, and is killed in a brutal way. Her story also serves the purpose when Olivia snaps out of the trance possession of the house, she realises the truehorror. She killeda child. A real child. Imagine the despair as a mother, already going through that experience, feeling lost and scared - seeing for a moment that ur the monster ur trying to save ur kids from. The despair and horror makes her just want to end it all. To stop everything. SO BRUTAL

2024-11-02 21:56:48 +0000 UTCAll of the Netflix Flanagan series are good to great and should be watched. I actually like Midnight Mass (3rd series) the best and I think it's one of the 3 or 4 best shows I've ever seen. Hill House 2nd. Bly Manor 3rd (very, very good but very different than Hill House). I like Fall of the House of Usher the least (by a fair margin) but it's still absolutely a good show and worth watching. Flanagan is just so damn good. Another cool tidbit is he uses much of the same cast so you'll see alot of the Hill House actors pop up in the other series.

2024-10-31 03:14:17 +0000 UTCIndeed their attempt to protect her backfired because she craved what was kept from her. She wanted to experience the rest of the world and be able to socialize, have friends, etc. Perhaps she would not have snuck out like she did, which ended up resulting in her death, or Hugh may have checked in with the Dudleys if he had known that was their daughter (Miss Dudley stops short of saying her name even, when talking to Olivia). if they hadn't been so overprotective she may have had a different fate, but thats merely speculation.

2024-10-30 00:29:09 +0000 UTCFlanagan explained this in an interview actually. The Red Room didn't open itself to Hugh because he is a "fixer" his focus is on fixing things, he enjoys it. The House created the water/mold/rats etc. problem for him to focus his energy and time and focus on so he'd be distracted while it "ate away" at the rest of his family, and then you see how his attempt at "fixing" the issue through avoidance/protection for his family over the years since he left he house ended up backfiring as well, as he stated in the finale. Flanagan was adamant that the House affected the entire family and all its inhabitants on an equal level, but that the "symptoms" of that were more easy to detect or obvious with some of the characters than with others.
SuddenImpulse
2024-10-30 00:24:24 +0000 UTCFrom what I have heard Bly Manor is less spooky and more emotion focused and slower pacing, but I haven't seen it myself so people can correct me on this. I don't believe theres any connection between any of these shows outside of the actors, so its more about if the story focus is ones preference or not for each show.
SuddenImpulse
2024-10-30 00:21:44 +0000 UTCLiv's haunting was her fear for her family, Steves haunting was that he didnt get closure from his dad so his trauma response was to go into denial and resentment, Shirly's was guilt, so she projected perfection to not confront her own shame, Theo was scared to vulnerable so she shut down having to feel things fully, and of of course Luke was OCD as a trauma response to the fear he felt as a child, which caused his to numb the pain with drugs.
Sherry Porritt
2024-10-29 19:05:11 +0000 UTCThis show is so good because it speaks to true horror in peoples lives not just jump scares, but the traumas and fears we deal with that follow us like ghosts, haunting us until we overcome those traumas and fears and how if we dont, they will destroy us.
Sherry Porritt
2024-10-29 19:04:45 +0000 UTCThere was actually meant to be a much darker ending revealing that they never left the red room at the end. But they decided to go with a happier ending since it was too depressing.
Valcor
2024-10-29 14:55:02 +0000 UTCUnbelievable series.

2024-10-29 10:48:19 +0000 UTCYour comment made me go back and rewatch that. It was hysterical. Just short of an eye roll.

I just think it might be a good watch for you guys.) It shows you all the hidden little things you might have missed and how the house actually won in the end. 🫣

2024-10-28 23:14:55 +0000 UTCI noticed that and thought the same exact thing!! This show is all bout the details
Guilherme G.
2024-10-28 22:07:06 +0000 UTCThanks for this. I was curious about Bly Manor but was put off by the relatively low rating (I trust iMDB) as life is short and there is too much great content out there to waste time on something mid. But I love Hill House so much I might have to give it a shot. Who knows.
Julien
2024-10-28 19:38:27 +0000 UTCLol Pudgey wasn't really feeling the Abigail twist. The Dudleys are nice but keeping a child recluse like that is nasty work.
Julien
2024-10-28 19:34:37 +0000 UTCDid yall notice that the red room never opened itself up for Hugh. They mentioned how it was a different room for everyone but they never mention Hugh. I can’t decide if that’s because he was too strong for it to feed off of or because the house knew that the only way to feed on him was through his kids because he was Mr fix it. He never cared about himself… all he cared about was helping his family. He really was the mvp of this series. He was so strong for them for so long and carried such a heavy burden and never asked them for anything and never blamed them even a little for unfairly hating him because it was more important that they never hate Olivia. Like his love for his family is beautiful. He bore so much so they didn’t have to and then he dies for them

2024-10-28 19:30:08 +0000 UTC@Kate yeah I completely agree with you :) It can stand on its own, but its weak compared to other ones (solely because its unfinished IMO)
Ekaterine Kav
2024-10-28 14:40:00 +0000 UTC“Those who walk there walk together” this show is phenomenal, really enjoyed the weekly reactions. Bly manor, midnight mass and house of usher are all great too.
Traven Sweetsir
2024-10-28 12:09:17 +0000 UTCSo good, can’t go wrong with Mike Flanagan series! Would happily re-watch any of the others if you end up watching them ☺️
NZ Hayley
2024-10-28 11:01:15 +0000 UTCSomething that always stood out to me for the maybe 5 seconds that Hugh was walking back into the red room and embraced by Olivia and Nel is that Olivia never stops staring at Steve. Even as Hugh is embraced she just keeps a stare on Steve. No blinking, no eye movement, just staring at Steve. Felt ominous, like she'll always be there haunting them, waiting, watching.
Steven
2024-10-28 06:59:01 +0000 UTCAlways bittersweet when we hit a finale. I haven't been this bummed for a show to wrap since you guys finished ATLA lmao. Glad to rewatch these each week. Haunting of Hill House really is such a good show. Bly Manor is good as well and it captures a similar emotional investment to the story and characters as hill house. What is awesome about many of Michael Flannigan's works is that he often uses the same actors. So even though a great show will end, it's such a reward seeing the same actors work together in an entirely different show/movie.

2024-10-28 06:49:02 +0000 UTCRewatching this series with you reminded me why it's in my top 5 series 🤍 brilliant writing and yes the soundtrack 🤍 great reaction 🙌🏻

2024-10-28 04:49:01 +0000 UTCI love this show. Outside of some sitcoms I have watched many times over, I think this is my most rewatched show. Seen a few reactors being upset that Nell wasn't saved like her siblings were, but she didn't have anyone to bring her back to reality and save her like she did for her siblings. Her mother got what she wanted and woke her up, but Nell kept her from waking them up. I loved that Spartan's first instinct on the opening scene was "obviously the red room is linked to all the other rooms in the house duh" lmao I still burst into tears every time Mr Dudley brings Clara back to die in the house so she can be with her children. And seeing her holding her stillborn child??? I can't, was sobbing.
Mike
2024-10-28 03:55:49 +0000 UTCReally loved the reaction to this final episode and the discussion afterwards! Knew you guys would enjoy this show, thanks for watching! Also, if you would be interested in a Mike Flanagan (this shows creator) movie that I enjoyed a lot, he made a movie called Oculus. If we go purely from a ratings standpoint (both RT & IMDB), both critic review rating and audience review rating which seem to be pretty consistent overall, although I will heavily emphasize I think oversimplifies things it goes: Highest rated: Hill House then House of Usher then Midnight Mass then Bly Manor then Midnight Club is the lowest rated, and was canceled after first season, due to the Pandemic and other reasons. HOWEVER, at the end of the day though, these are different stories with different focuses, so it makes sense that different ones will reverberate more with different people. Such is art/media.

I also know a fair few people that didn't even realize Midnight Mass was by Flanagan, so never watched it.

2024-10-28 01:47:58 +0000 UTCWhat a journey. Love the thumbnail. I would have never watched this if you guys didnt react to it. It was way better than I thought it would be. Poppy was the ghost who encouraged Olivia to try to kill her kids to keep them with her forever. I believe Poppy met her husband in an insane asylum. I forget his name. Poppy did kill one of her kids. I believe her first one, the girl, died of an illness. Olivia did poison Abigail and that is why the dad ran out of the house with the kids before she could poison Luke and Nell. So Poppy's weird philosophy that her children dying was just a dream and she convinced Olivia that her nightmares and visions were just going to go away if she "woke up" which actually meant dying. Nell warning Luke and pulling her siblings out of their most fearful states was amazing. I thought this story was so sad throughout. Abigail was real when Luke played with her. She died after Olivia poisoned her on the last night. As a Christian, I believe in Heaven and Hell. This show is more or less about the in between which doesn't exist in the Bible. What I do believe is that God is about life. All about it as the Creator. He would not wish people to kill themselves to try to be with each other. This is not shaming those who commit suicide as that is not my point nor does the Bible state that is an unforgiveable sin as some believe. I did Bible college and took theology courses as well so have some knowledge. I have read the Bible through about 5 or 6 times. I am not bragging just giving context. I would see Nell as a savior in this show. She is dressed in white. She died and got to warn her other siblings it was not the way to go because they had not finished their earthly lives yet. I love that Luke listened to her and refused to stay with them at the tea party. From a scientific point of view, the black mold could have caused the neurological damage that Olivia waa experiencing which caused her to succumb to her mental illness.

2024-10-28 01:19:46 +0000 UTCOh no, it's over! Such an amazing show, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! My favorite aspect of this show is how grounded it is while still being supernatural. There's a realness to it that makes it so emotional and relatable. I don't think the house would haunt them anymore, as I think it was really Liv through the house who was drawing Luke and Nell back because of their unfinished business. Now that Hugh is with her, I think he would prevent that happening, just like Nell woke up her siblings from their dreams. I saw Bly Manor, it was good, but not as good as Hill House imo. I really liked House of Usher, it's more gory if I remember correctly. Out of the ones I've seen Hill House is still my favorite. I have not seen Midnight Mass yet, but if y'all watched it, I would definitely check it out.
Ailene Evangelista
2024-10-28 01:09:40 +0000 UTCI guess that makes sense, although I think even just the one season stands on its own. Didn't mean to single you out, either--I just find it funny that I never see it mentioned, like it doesn't exist. I would say it’s one of his weakest shows, though.
Kate
2024-10-28 00:21:30 +0000 UTCI personally don’t mention it because Midnight Club was supposed to be a 2 seasons series, but Netflix cancelled it after season 1 (because of the pandemic and its part of the reason why Flanagan left Netflix, if im not mistaken). He did give us an outline of season 2 on tumblr? tho, with all the twists and turns and ghost physics. It was very goood for the time that it lasted :,) The story was cut in half, it will be forever unfinished, so out of principle I don’t mention it. I tell my friends (I try to convert as many as possible to the Flanaverse) that Midnight Club is the only series they dont really have to watch unless they are craving something new from *his* work specifically.

2024-10-28 00:13:41 +0000 UTCThe look on Pudgey's face when Spartan is saying Steve can see the future. 🤣
Kate
2024-10-27 23:44:45 +0000 UTCMidnight Mass comes after Haunting of Hill House for me. It's just such a great concept. Didn't love Bly Manor. Fall of the House of Usher was okay, but mostly because I went through a teenage Poe phase. 😅 I find it odd that no one mentions the The Midnight Club when listing Flanagan's horror series. Why is that?
Kate
2024-10-27 23:23:14 +0000 UTCSo glad you guys enjoyed the show! And I'm happy you're open to more of Mike Flanagan's works - he is incredible! Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and Fall of the House of Usher are all great picks!
Zainab Kamal
2024-10-27 23:13:51 +0000 UTCI definitely think more Mike Flanagan shows are needed. Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass are both great. Fun fact: the actress who plays Theo is married to Mike Flanagan, the creator of the show

2024-10-27 23:08:41 +0000 UTCWow... That is one of the BEST most satisfying finales I have ever watched. Everything I wanted answered got an answer. This is definitely going in my top series finales of all time. Top notch writing. And one last Kudos to the child actors of this series. Give those kids ALL the awards. Amazing performances all around!!

2024-10-27 22:43:40 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you guys enjoyed it and I really liked your interpretations!! You can go the grounded or the supernatural route, they often seem to overlap. I like how a certain line/action/story arc plays into one or more theories. If you guys are interested in some theories: the idea that each sibling represents a stage of grief is the one that is the most accepted by the fanbase, as well as that the mold in the house played a big part in the mental spiral the characters endure in the house Midnight Mass is the least liked of all Flanagan's shows, but it's my favourite <3 I'm rewatching it now because its perfect for Halloween season :) Haunting of Bly Manor and Fall of the House of Usher are also great!!
Ekaterine Kav
2024-10-27 22:32:02 +0000 UTCWhen you guys eventually watch the haunting of Bly Manor, even though it’s a totally different unrelated story, it does exist in the same universe and it does touch a bit more on how the ghosts work
josh york
2024-10-27 22:21:33 +0000 UTCIn that final scene celebrating Luke's 2 years, they did originally have the Red Room's window in the background. Thankfully the creator decided to change this to end on more of a positive note 🤭
Foof
2024-10-27 22:20:34 +0000 UTCWhats beautiful about the ending shot when Luke is having the cake, is there are now 7 family members again :') 1...2...3...4...5...6...7 On another note, now that you've watched your first Mike Flanagan show, I hope you will keep bringing the others back on polls in the future, they're very good! And finally, best part of this reaction - Luke: *dying*, Theo: *in shock*, Spartan: "Why's Theo flipping out?" lmao I dieeeed
