So its timeonce againfor this wimp to walk you through exactly how terrified youll be when you watch it.
Its actually not as scary as Id feared!
We meet young and idealistic nanny Dani as she gets a new job at Bly Manor.
And then she sees a ghostly lady in a mirror?
Its mostly not that bad, extreme scarinesswise.
Its upsetting for sure, but in a something is clearly wrong with this kid!
way, not in a cover your eyes and hope sort of way.
The current-day events of Bly Manor aremuchmore unpleasant, frankly.
Dani learns a bit more about Miss Jessel, the nanny who worked here before her.
Why would you do that?!
I think thats probably not the full story.
That parts mostly okay.
The upsetting bit is when Dani finds Flora standing next to the lake, staring at something, transfixed.
Its Rebecca Jessel, on the edge of the lake!
The other alarming sequence is near the end, when Flora and Miles put on a little play.
Its not big ghosty scary, but it is no seriously, Miles is so freaky scary.
(Theres one major one.
I wouldverymuch appreciate it ifBly Manorcut it out with the dolls and dollhouse stuff though.
Wait, the ghosts can leave Bly Manor?
Or maybe she only sees them because theyre memories?
Anyhow, I am not a fan.
How scary is it?5/10Creepiness level:ModerateExtremely alarming dolls:Too many dolls in this one!
The way she grabs that guy by the neck and drags him into the lake … PHEW.
In related news, it’s possible for you to often get West Elm rugs on sale!
I actually gotthis onefor my entryway.
Truly, though, this is a great episode.
With Miles, is almost worse!
Also that Flora is not Dominics daughter.
Lotta messed up dynamics happening in this mansion!
We also get a scene where Flora has a meeting with a little-boy ghost with no face.
It starts out scary, and then moves into uhhhh?
territory when Flora provides the ghost with a broken doll face.
While thats definitely notgreat, its a bit of a scariness turning point.
Somehow she doesnt get that this means she has to die?!
Rebecca, I thought you were smarter than this!
I didnt even shop for rugs!
But it is very compelling, sad, and slow-burn tense.
Episode eight is almost not scary at all!
Turns out: The sister opens the trunk!
(This is the only terrifying bit.)
Isnt it nice when all the pieces come together?
Like episode eight, its barely scary at all.
Thats it, really!
Everyone lives happily ever after and Dani and Jamie are never sad again!
It starts that way.
She stares at reflections and into bodies of water, trying to see her face.
Eventually, Jamie wakes up one morning, and Danis gone.
Its just so sad!
