Featured review
Very Good, In Comparison
To the latest version of this "The Haunting of Bly Manor". I turned to this more faithful adaptation after getting bored to death half way through season 1 of said series.
Perhaps it's not fair to compare versions, although many other reviews are doing the same to yet other adaptations. How many times has this been done? I guess it did establish the now almost stereotypical Gothic story of a young governess at a rambling old estate in the English countryside.
Dockery did a much better job of conveying a young woman trying to do her best and advance herself, although the obsession with "impressing the Master" detracted a bit. Compared to THOBM this was much more crisp, concise, believable, and even scary. That it was set in the 1920 instead of the 1880s? Who cares?
Check this out when you to become bored with a bloviated version.
