The Haunting of Bly Manor Aftershow Episode 8: The Romance of Certain Old Clothes Oct 10, 2020

Show notes

This is an episode where we get to learn a bit about Viola, AKA the lady of the lake. Almost the entire episode takes place in a time long lost to history, and frankly, this is my favorite episode in the series. It’s sad, mournful and has some wonderful storytelling.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Aftershow Episode 6: The Jolly Corner Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

In episode six we learn quite a bit of backstory about the family as a whole, but mostly about Henry. There’s a decent bit to learn about Flora in this episode as well, and she is kind of the B storyline here, which I found very sad. THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (L to R) HENRY THOMAS as HENRY WINGRAVE in THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR Cr. EIKE SCHROTER/NETFLIX © 2020 While this is a long episode at over an hour, it’s also the most full of intrigue and depth of any of the series so far.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Aftershow Episode 5: The Alter of the Dead Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

This episode is the Hannah Episode. This episode keeps the audience off-balance by jumping back and forth through time and between memory and reality. As confusing as it can be, there are also a lot of revelations. We finally learn what that crack is all about, we see more about how Rebecca gets entangled with Peter, and we even see why the lady in the lake is so dangerous. (1:02) - Intro(3:30) - Synopsis(6:05) - Spoilers(40:36) - Outro THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (L to R) AMELIE BEA SMITH as FLORA , BENJAMIN EVAN AINSWORTH as MILES, and T'NIA MILLER as HANNAH in THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Aftershow Episode 4: The Way It Came Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

In this episode we get to learn a little more about Dani and her background with the man in the mirror. THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (L to R) VICTORIA PEDRETTI as DANI in THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR Cr. EIKE SCHROTER/NETFLIX © 2020 Overall, this episode had a sad vibe of regret and loss, which was hard for me to watch. There wasn’t a ton of scares in this one, but it did do a great job of telling us why Dani is the way she is.

Show notes

In this episode we are given the backstory of the previous au pair Rebecca Jessel played by Tahirah Sharif, and Uncle Henry’s assistant Peter Quint played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Peter and Miss Jessel have an affair, and soon the charming facade put on by Peter cracks and reveals a manipulative sociopath underneath.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Aftershow Episode 2: The Pupil Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

We pick up the second episode of The Haunting of Bly Manor as if no time has passed between the last episode and now. Dani has just come out of the closet (wink, wink) and the kids are apologizing like they didn’t just very intentionally shut her in there to begin with. THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (L to R) VICTORIA PEDRETTI as DANI and BENJAMIN EVAN AINSWORTH as MILES in THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR. Cr. EIKE SCHROTER/NETFLIX © 2020 This episode is one where Miles is much more fleshed out as a creepy character, and we get to learn a bit about why he is the way he is. This is a very Dani and the kids heavy episode, we are properly introduced to the gardener, Jamie, played by Amelia Eve. This also contains the spookiest scene in the first three episodes, with a rousing game of hide-and-seek before bed.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Aftershow Episode 1: The Great Good Place Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

In this opening episode we are introduced to Dani Clayton played by Victoria Pedretti an, American who is hired to be an au pair to two perfectly splendid young orphan children. They live in a spacious estate in the countryside called, you guessed it, The Hill House, oh wait, Bly Manor. The children’s only surviving relative is Uncle Henry played by Henry Thomas, hired Dani, but he shows no interest in being involved with them. Flora played by Amelie Bea Smith is the precocious 8 year old girl, and her 10 year old brother Miles played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, is… in need of structure and discipline. There are other staff at the Bly Manor, including the cook Owen played by Rahul Kohli, the housekeeper Hannah played by T'Nia Miller, and Jamie, the groundskeeper played by Amelia Eve. As Dani gets to know the children and Bly Manor, strange and unsettling things start to happen, and the children begin to act strangely.
