I'm on the fence with this show.

In some ways it's really interesting and different, but in other ways it drags and drags.

The main character for me is extremely unlikeable which makes it very hard to root for her. She is annoyingly stubborn, and sticks her nose into everything, basically taking over once she arrives at Brightcliff.

Some of the acting is amazing, especially Ruth Codd who isn't even an actress. Her performance really blew me away.

The stories the group tells are actually really interesting and well played out. Their stories have a bigger impact on the audience than the main story itself which I found quite boring and tedious. It's a shame because I was looking forward to this show but I just didn't like it enough. And it ended terribly, which means there will most likely be a season 2 that I will not be watching.

I find Mike's shows a hit or miss. The Haunting of Hill House was really good but Bly Manor and this show haven't been as good. Looking forward to House of Usher though.
