- Badd Medicine here and its The Haunting of Bly Manor reaction time
The Haunting of Bly Manor is an American gothic romance drama miniseries created by Mike Flanagan, and released on October 9, 2020 by Netflix. The second entry in Flanagan's The Haunting anthology series, it mostly acts as an adaptation of the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, but also includes other elements either based on James' other works or created for the show. It features much of Hill House's crew and some of the same cast, such as Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Amelia Eve, T'Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli, Tahirah Sharif, Amelie Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, and Henry Thomas, though Pedretti, Jackson-Cohen and Thomas returned from Hill House as different characters, as did Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, and Catherine Parker in recurring roles; the two series' narratives are not connected.
Following a nonlinear narrative, The Haunting of Bly Manor follows the events occurring in the eponymous countryside manor in the United Kingdom, mostly upon the arrival of a young American hired as an au pair for the two children living at Bly, and who is unaware that the manor is haunted.

this is a nice surprise. Thanks for posting. 👍
I found this to be a disappointing follow-up to Hill House. Will be interesting to see what you all think.
I love this story. Remember it is lightly based on “the turn of the screw” and many other stories, mixed with his crazy mind. I think this is an amazing piece of work. Just stick with it 😊
I loved it. And watching y'all reactions was just splendid. Lol
All I’m going to say is EPISODE 5 man. You’re not ready
😂 the Oak assuming Flora was about to say "perfectly splendid" again in the classroom and the "damnit" when she said "quite boring" has me cracking up
Omg me too 😂
I did the exact same thing when I first watched 😂😂
I find the best way to appreciate the Haunting shows is to watch them normally, THEN rewatch it and look for the ghosts. That way you dont miss the subtleties in the dialogue and acting!
Love the little actors that played Miles and Flora. And the actress playing Flora is the voice of Peppa Pig. She nailed this role!
OMG I didn't even realize. That's so cool!
That’s why her voice was familiar! She’d just hit some notes and I’d feel like I was back babysitting 😂😂
@@chelscara 🤣🤣👏🏼
This one is less scary and more sad, honestly it is on the same level of greatness as hill house
A hauntingly sad masterpiece. More depth to it than hill house.
@@artistimd2497 yes I found it a little sadder
While Hill House had elements of healing and hopefulness, especially at the end, i find Bly Manor leans more heavily into tragedy
I saw this one before Hill House. And no other show has ever broke me like this one.
This one felt a bit more disconnected than Hill. But maybe that was the point. The first had a strong family unit...this was maybe more about misfits and found family. But yeah...more sad.
Don’t spend so much time on the background that you miss moments in the show! Ahaha. Hill House had us all paranoid
This show is so different from Hill House, but equally stunning. So glad you guys are watching this!
na, its even better
@@marvelousmia not even close
What makes Flanagan's shows so special to me are their themes and how they're addressed. With Hill House it was Grief and Family, Bly Manor is Love and Possessiveness, with Midnight Mass it's Faith and Addiction, and Midnight Club it's Mortality and Hope.
Can’t get through Midnight Club though 😴🥱😅😅😅
@@O___________0 Is it because it's too good or too bad? Genuine question.
@@EmmarainePink it’s BAD bad
Well said!
@@EmmarainePink I wouldn’t say it’s bad at all. It’s very well acted and the dialogue is pretty great. It’s very different from the two Haunting seasons for sure. Doesn’t really have that same tragic, tugging at your heart strings - type feel to it. It’s definitely different from Flanagan’s first two on Netflix.
Art is subjective though, what one person would call bad, another may call a masterpiece.
I thought Midnight Mass was great, but I connected with the two Haunting shows more.
“This reaction will be perfectly splendid”!!!
hahaha that should be a shirt!
@@BaddMedicine , would be awesome
Cute kid...but her catchphrase needs to be limited to one a day.
😅
I feel like Quinn was a wood worker in another life 😂 for how he takes time to admire the craftsmanship ❤😂
All three are all about the wood. Kinda hilarious.
Also, fun fact, Haunting of Hill House was adapted from a book by Shirley Jackson. Bly Manor is not only adapted from 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James but also, each episode references or is sorta based on James' short stories... The Great Good Place, The Pupil, The Two Faces, The Way It Came, The Altar of the Dead, The Jolly Corner, The Romance of Certain Old Clothes, and The Beast in the Jungle.
Can tell it's based on multiple stories. That was my impression before knowing. Feels a little disjointed throughout. It mostly comes together alright...but not completely.
"it's perfectly splendid!!" was quite a meme when it first came out 😅
I just want to take a moment before I even watch this video to say that I've really found a safe space within this channel. I am so happy you guys came across my feed all those months ago and I really hope the best for all of you guys regardless of what you have going on personally, thank you for creating this content!
Thank you Julia for the kind words. We greatly appreciate it! And thank you for spending some of your time with us! Glad we are apart of your day! 🤙🤙🤙
@@BaddMedicine I can say with some confidence that the guy in white had already seen and memorized the hidden ghosts in the background video before the show!😂
@@anoushkas8726 100% false actually. 👍
Great to see you taking on this next Haunting, guys! Hopefully this means you'll move on to Flanagan's Midnight Mass after this!👍🏼
One thing I never realized is in the opening scene at Miles' boarding school the teacher says that a fellow student won't be back for a few weeks because he took a tumble. And then Miles jumps out of the tree in his first attempt to be sent home. When that doesn't work he just continues to escalate his behavior to try and get home.
A lil advice for Quinn, dont worry too much about the background ghosts. Just like Hill House, they are there for distractions and extra creepiness but not necessary significant to the story. Focus on the events. Also you guys dont try to overthink and over analyze because halfway through it will get REALLY confusing and all over the place, so wait for story to unfold and dont rush to get answers. Excited for you to watch this beautiful melancholy story!
17:33 I love how storing sewing materials in cookie tins is a universal experience 😂
this series is soooo sad.... cried hard as hell at the ending
Really is. Just finished rewatching it. The last four episodes are straight up heartbreaking. Probably why it was less popular.
This series is when i realized how versatile the actor who started out as Elliott from ET the Extraterrestrial truly is.
My favourite Henry Thomas role for Flanagan is in Midnight Mass, even though it's one of his smaller ones. It's so subtle at times, even when he's not saying anything his facial expressions speak volumes
@@epihead9196yes and Gerald’s Game. Another Stephen King adaptation. He’s so good in that one he makes it easy to hate him lol
So glad you guys are watching Mike Flanagan’s work! You HAVE to watch Midnight Mass next! Flanagan just got the rights to adapt Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” into a series 😄
He did?!?! That is awesome! He adapts Stephen King so well.
Without spoiling anything, while Hillhouse was family-focused, I'm sure you may have begun to notice that Bly Manor is more relationship-focused. Both series are rough to sit through, beautiful to watch, but I think this series affected me more. As someone who also has PTSD, I find I can really identify with Dani and I think they did a great job with her character through various panic attacks and ways to cope with them. This is yet another series with a lot of great depth and I look forward to your future reactions.
This is another beautiful story, a little more subtle with the scares usually, but still unsettling and spooky! So excited to watch you guys react to this!!
I'm so glad you guys are reacting to Bly Manor.Not really scary BUT it has such a beautiful story ! Very well written and of brilliant performances by all the actors, specially the kids. They amaze me, the boy that plays Miles is outstanding
Possession seems like it would be hard to pull off.
I love this series. The child actors are amazing
I literally gasped! Missing the Answer but so happy you guys are finally doing this show!
We used to play ghost in the graveyard in an actual graveyard. It was close to our grandparents house. We could play anywhere outside, being in the country, as long as we were home before it got too dark.
That would creep me out so hard. But sounds fun tbh.
Bly and Hill House are two very different stories but I really loved both of them. I'll admit that it took me a little longer to appreciate Bly, probably because Hill House was so phenomenal, but I grew to love the story and the characters. Mike Flanagan is truly a wonderful writer and I look forward to what he comes up with next.
As I'm watching this, I'm thinking of my excitement over Mike Flannagan's _The Fall of the House of Usher_ coming this year to Netflix as his third installment.
looove that they're like "oh maybe we're overanalysing this" like baby it is IMPOSSIBLE to overanalyse a mike flanagen production lol
The hooded ghost from ep1 is a plague doctor. If you watch the dvd commentary for ep1 they point out that he was in the background of nearly every scene at Bly Manor, including one where he's just standing out in the open.
The tree spotting the plague dictor in the first eoisode is my favourite part, that guys standa there around like 13 tines I love that dude
Mason Quinn's face when Miles whispered to Dani's ear 😆
I just finished the Haunting of Hill House reaction! Now we just need Midnight Mass to round it all out
Bly is in my top 5 shows of all time. Awesome to see you reacting to it!:)
55:04 Quinns Face was PERFECT 😂
OH MY GOD YESS !!! so exciting, i love all of your content and this is like my comfort show for some reason so this is perrfectt
I like this one just as much as hill house, both some of my favourite series to date
So different, but equally as captivating in its own right. Stoked for y’all to get into this!
What a nice surprise! I wasn't checking the community tab to see if you guys were watching this one but im so glad you are, i hope you enjoy what it has to offer
edited to add: Midnight Mass is VERY different from the 2 Haunting shows but i still highly recommend it, it's my second favourite show from the Flanagan-verse
when the mom, dad and Nellie hugged in the red room they had that one scene together.
I can't get over the fact that the actor playing Henry Wingrave is the little boy from E.T.
Why is the answer never watching these shows with you guys? 😭 Would like to get his reactions too
wait what I'm watching episode 4 now and I don't even realize that the actress who played Dani was also who played Nell!
Quinn had me screen recording and looking back everytime he was like “THERE LOOK” lol I couldn’t see shit.
Also I only would be able to watch this via reaction because I get scared too easily lol
Oh man, my eyes are welling up this entire reaction. Knowing everything that ends up happening and how significant so many subtle things in the first episode are.. Ughh. This is such an amazing show, I can't wait to see you guys watch it all!!
Ahh yes! My unemployed self was waiting for this!!! So excited. Always love hearing your guys' takes regardless of "right" or "wrong".
I love that Flanagan has opened the door to conversations about loss, which is unfortunately new to thousands due to covid + a whole lot of other difficult life experiences we all have.
I've been patiently waiting for this one to come to TH-cam 😌 So happy, this is therapy to see these lovely men react to this amazing story 🎉
I’m glad you guys decided to do this. It’s a bit different than hillhouse in ways and also similar. But still really well done. Mike Flanagan is great. If you guys havnt watched OCULUS you need to. It’s a movie with Karen Gillian that came out 2013 that is underrated and a gem imo. I’d love to see your guys reaction to that
Nell was an adult & the dad young, when they were in the red room in the last episode. The door was closing and they were hugging, the 3 of them, dad in middle, mom & Nell on each side of him.
So great to see you guys react to this!
I'm ready, willing and able to follow you along on your journey. ;)
Just watched episode 5 and came back to the start of this. Wow. Lmao I'm lost for words. Who ever directed this is in-human himself.
Thrilled to watch you continue your reactions to Mike Flanagan shows! This particular show might be my favorite of the bunch, though it has a very different vibe.
So fun revisiting these shows with all of you. I’m not into this genre because I get easily scared and live alone lol I watched Midnight Mass first and then The Hauntings later. Midnight Mass is by far my favorite, hope you get to that one too. Great reactions as always!
I really hope they get to watch Midnight Mass, it's so incredibly good
I'm the same way, I hate horror but watched hill house because everyone was talking about it and I'm glad I did. It took a bit to get used to the horror, it helps to watch it with commentators haha
I would absolutely looooove to see you guys do Midnight Mass 😍 I love watching you guys!!!
With Hill House, I was jump scared and nervous. With Bly Manor, I had no tears left in me by the ending because of all the crying I did. Hill House was beautiful and scary, Bly Manor is beautiful and heartbreaking.
I cried my eyes out with hill house but not so much with bly manor. I guess "family focused stories" messes up with me more easily 😂 this one have more of a "relationships focus"
@@estersilva7804 oh, don’t get me wrong! Hill House had me crying. Especially the confetti speech and “go on without me” “how could we?” But gosh the quotes, which I won’t say now because I don’t wanna spoil the guys, in Bly Manor really hit me hard.
7:25 Diamond Dave, if you are talking about the Belmont Mansion, in Reidsville, NC, I know exactly where that is. I drive by it everytime my kids have to go to the doctor. I only live a few towns away. The Belmont is known as a beautiful wedding venue. It's strange to hear somebody in Wisconsin talking about a place near me...small world. 😊
Thank you.... I said it wrong in here. Hope to visit it again soon. Didn't have too much time to check out everything.
After watching every episodes of Bly Manor, I just concluded it was less "scary" than Hill House but damn storyline hit me. I loved it!
I would recommend watching The Turning!! Its another rendition of this with a similar plot. This series is definitely better because theres more to it being a show, but the movie is also a really good movie if you're in for more horror as well!!
Yeah I watched that right after this came out. Was well done.
So little flora here is played by the girl who does pepper pigs voice. Now, I don't watch peppa pig anymore thank God, but I would now just to hear peppa say "perfectly splendid" 😂
Watched both series the haunting of hill house and bly manor and both endings brought tears to my eyes. 🥺🙌🏾
One of my favorite shows! I’m excited what you think of it, specially at the end hahaha
Great series! Victoria Pedretti is just amazing
I recently found your channel and binged the Hill House-reactions(among some other stuff), and I was really hoping you'd do Bly Manor as well and here it is! Thank you!
I absolutely adored this show. Cant wait to see the reactions to the rest of the season!!
Such a great reaction to an amzing show! Mike Flannagan has an amazing record making such shows as the Haunting Duology, and so many more! I would recommend seeing LadyKnighttheBrave's video essay about this show, not only it explores the inspiration for the show, it's themes and, connections with Hill House, but it also includes an interview with Mike Flannagan himself talking about many things of the production of the show. It's a great complementary watch for the Hunting of Bly Manor!!
I'm not a huge fan of Bly Manor even though I really enjoyed Haunting of Hill House. But I'm sure I'll enjoy y'all reacting to it nevertheless. I really hope you do his other show Midnight Mass, because out of the four he's made Midnight Mass if BY FAR my favorite.
Any idea if Midnight Mass was based on a book or story?
@@ct6852 I'm pretty sure Mike Flannigan said it was based on his religious upbringing.
i absolutely adored this show, im curious what part/parts you didn’t like about it because i haven’t heard of anyone disliking it. id like to hear a different perspective
So excited your Bly Manor reactions have finally hit TH-cam, it’s a beautiful show! Please also do Midnight Mass ❤
Aaahhh can't wait for y'all to finish this! Hopefully you finish up to the Midnight Club.
I agree, the acting is so so good in this one! I can't think of a single weak performance.
If you get a chance, I recommend watching THE INNOCENTS (1961, Jack Clayton). It's a straightforward adaptation of "The Turn of the Screw" (the source of the main plot of BLY MANOR). Mike Flanagan is a genius at synthesizing older literary works through his own contemporary lens. Each episode title in BLY MANOR is a title of a Henry James short story!
I'm going to have to start over watching this. I was watching you 3 so hard waiting for reactions to the show that I forgot to pay attention to the show!! LMAOO You guys are the best at brightening my day and helping me be brave enough (sorta) to watch the skeery!!
I am so happy that you chose to do this one. Hi from Italy!
Midnight Mass is definitely my favourite after The haunting of Hill house. Couldn't recommend it more!!
Mike Flanagan nails everything he makes. I hope you keep diving further into his works, as there are many many Easter eggs in every movie and tv show he makes
I've only gotten as far as your reaction to episode 1 and my first response was "SHEEEEEIT!!!!" Mr. Quinn, you are jumpy as HAYLE on this one and that's got me jumpy.. so we jumpin together.. And lastly, as a 44 yr old, I STILL have to tell my friend "don't look past me" when we're in normal situations.. Like, YOU JUST DON'T DO IT! so once baby girl started doin it, we gotta do like Jordan Peele and GET OUT..
"I'd be having a flashlight and maybeee..."
Me: "... a taser?" I know it probably won't help against ghosts, but it would sure make me feel batter.
I've been looking forward to this video since you guys first announced you'd be doing it. I was having SUCH a shitty day, about to break down in my car and seeing this finally up saved me THANK YOU!
I love Hill House. An instant classic. But Bly Manor broke me. I remember I cried so hard during the last episode that I lost my voice 😂 I’m a hopeless romantic though.
This story is less intense on the jump scares and has a more psychological horror aspect. It's a beautiful and incredibly sad story. I loved Hill House, but Bly is my favorite of the two. I've rewatched both shows a few times, but Bly I absolutely adore.
It's perfectly splendid.
I never got into this one because I didn’t think anything could top haunting of hill house, fun to be reacting to it now along you guys !! ❤
You should!!!! It is beautiful on its own way. I like this one over hill house.
@@artistimd2497 totally hooked after the first episode... kinda mad I never watched it sooner now 🤣
Flora is actually the voice actor for Peppa Pig!
I never got around to watching this series...so I'll watch it with you guys. I loved the first season so much, hope this is just as good!
Hide n seek with the lights out? ... we called that murder in the dark lol
I love that you’re reacting to Bly! It’s such a great story with fantastic characters. You’re doing great with your attention to detail. I hope you’ll love it!
i dont know how i am going to wait for the next episode reactions!! i love watching you guys! thanks for reacting to this!
Yessss I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this series!!! So excited 🥳
Oh how much have i waited for this.
OH GOD IT'S HAPPENING. EVERYBODY STAY CALM. _STAY FUCKING CALM!!_
Ohh my God the way you all talk sound like hunters or snipers 😂 scanning for high ground!!
I grew up in an extremely haunted house and area. I’m very psychic too. As a child, I used to hear a lot of different ghosts, different noises. I was like flora and in fact, I’ve shushed ghosts too because they were being very loud as I was trying to study. I just became very used to them being all around. I can completely understand flora.
im so happy you guys are watching this series! youre my favorite reaction channel out there!
This one I feel is less straight horror/scares and more sad/anxiety. Both shows do a great job of making the viewer feel exactly as the character does in the moment. Love them both!
Spot on! The book and show are usually classed ass Gothic Romance rather than horror
This is so good! Nothing better than watching full-grown Dads anxious and scared! You guys are so adorable~! But I think someone should get The Oak a teddy bear to crush on when his anxiety is on high!
Although I enjoyed Hill house just a tad more this one is still pretty awesome! 💜 Midnight Mass is a tad bit on the slower side but still another great show with deep meaning like the previous two.
I think Flannagan could condense his shows by an episode or two and they'd be damn near perfect.
@@ct6852 Yes I can agree with ya on that...He is brilliant though.
Hell yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!
Brazilian fan right here 🤟
oh my gosh!! i literally just finished watching this and was wondering if you guys were ever going to post reactions to it!!😭 i didnt enjoy it as much as hill house but ik a lot of ppl do!! i cant wait to watch😁
Remember feeling especially confused about the story in this one. Like maybe there was too much going on at once.
@@ct6852 yeah i feel like the plot in hill house was arranged and delivered perfectly and it kinda fell flat for me in bly manor and i couldn't get myself to connect with the storyline or characters😭 it was so good in the first three episodes though
Bly Manor certainly is different than Hill House, though there are some things in common, especially in how they're shot. Hill House is a family-driven drama horror. Bly Manor is more gothic romantic horror... actually, it very much reminds me of classic gothic horror in the way the story develops and in the imagery used. Both are fantastic in their own way.
Yeeeeeeess! I've been waiting for this!
Lmao i actually used to play ghost in the graveyard and hide and seek at night in a cemetery when I was a kid 😂 I've always been a bit odd
Been waiting for this reaction since you finished haunting of Hill house
