So finally finished the last episode of Bly Manor, and I've no idea why it's getting panned. 

Had goosebumps throughout the episode, and it really makes you think and feel the biggest, most realistic horror there is - losing and living without your loved ones. 

Superb finale ! Something to think and talk about for a long time.

It's one of the best TV shows. Absolutely amazing. Indian TV show - but up there with the best. Highest rated on IMDB at 9.6 (27.5k votes, but it's new - released only this month - October) It's on Sony Liv for those interested.

I guess everyone is comparing it with Hill House and were expecting something simillar in terms of 'scare' factor. I enjoyed it and its bloody brilliant 5th episode onwards.

It's got a really good atmosphere and is more 'deep' than Hill House for sure but I would still rank Hill House above Bly.

I don't have a SonyLIV sub, never bothered but perhaps its worth it since so many of you are saying this is good.

 

Will watch tonight with the fam. I hope its not too risque? 

 

Dude - you worry about risque on an Indian story about a stock-broker/banker? Don't worry - there is nothing risque - absolute 0% nudity and everything. Harshad Mehta is an absolute family man. Even when offered he runs away - don't worry. There is bad language though, keep that in mind. Not too much, but it's there.

 

Show is absolutely worth  it - even if you have to sub for 1 month to watch it.

I thought Bly Manor was alright as a character drama with a bit of horror sprinkled in. But then I went back and started watching Hill House. 3 episodes in and its already so, so much better. Tells you that you don't have to sacrifice pacing and intrigue to develop characters.

With all these crime shows these days, I was just concerned. 

Thanks for the assurance, will be watching it tonight with the fam.

 

Bad language is not an issue at all. I was only worried about nudity.

Bly Manor is garbage compared to Hill House. Bly Manor is a slow paced love drama with hardly any horror elements. Only the last two episodes makes the show decent. 6/10

 

Harshad Mehta is a good show, thought it will be some cringe stuff judging by the poster and title but it was worth a watch. Kinda weak towards the end. 7.5/10

 

But the King of Shows is definitely Mirzapur 2. :majesty:

Even better than S1. Extremely well paced, keeps ur attention in each episode. Amazing acting by everyone. And not afraid to take the plot forward without any padding. 9/10

We must at least all agree that Owen Sharma is the absolute best part of the show. 

 

Such a charming and wholesome performance by Rahul Kohli. (He was also in iZombie and his character was just as wonderful in that too). Really hope he gets more shows.

I’m watching hill house now and while the show does a lot of things really well, I’m finding it quite slow overall. Episodes 4, 5 were a bit too slow. Also not scary, except for a couple of jump scares that truly come out of nowhere :P 

Watched 8 so far. Will finish it tonight. 
I did really like episode 6, the two storms. 
Had been waiting for a time when I won’t need the AC. Watching it on the big screen with noise cancelling headphones and absolute darkness is dope.

 

Also +1 on Scam 92, a few people have told me about it but those who’ve read the book say the show misses out on a few arcs which add a lot more to the story. Inclined to read the book.

Yup. Was kinda disappointed that his character didn't get a dedicated episode.

He's part of Flanagan's next Netflix show, Midnight Mass.

And unlike Bly Manor, Flanagan will be directing all episodes of this show.
