Spoiler Thought On Bly Manor:

Spoiler thought on Bly Manor:

Bly Manor was entirely different than Hill House. The speed of it, the horror, the jump scares - all varied and might put off people because they expected a hill house kind of show.

But its not.

The only thing it shares with Hill House is the theme of love. Bly Manor is basically centered around the theme of how relationships made by us will haunt us for the rest of our life, good or bad. We see that in the blind faith- toxic relationship of Peter and Rebecca, which in the end leads to Rebecca’s demise. In contrast, is the beautiful, pure relationship of Owen and Hannah. Owen is haunted by his love for Hannah that makes him build the restaurant and name it after his dad puns that made Hannah laugh. Then there is Dani and Jamie’s relation that has an impending doom attached to it and yet their love for each other haunts them so much which leads to Dani drowning her self in the lake to avoid physically hurting Jamie and Jamie searching for Dani in reflections after.

The kids relationship to their parents who have died, haunt them, Viola’s relation and attachment to her daughter leads her to become this forgetful horrible ghost that destroys anything and everything that comes in her path. The uncle’s betrayed love for his brother, the regretful romance with his sister-in-law haunts him. Dani’s love for Eddie and her guilt of breaking his heart, haunts her.

The show is a goth romance in a way. It’s a love story as Flora observes in the end. I personally loved it and the underlying themes will wrench your heart out. It’s fucking beautiful.

This is a Peaky Blinders post

Season 1 was innocent in many ways. In the way Grace behaved, in the way Tommy operated. He is ruthless but it was with caution. It really sticks to your heart you know season 1 and even after the betrayal. Also Helen Mcrory is just a queen.

Season 2 is good. The story line is done well. Tommy is a reckless businessman and so direct to the point, it's like his sensitivity to his family members is somewhat lost. Helen Mcrory is queen and the Shelby boys start becoming endearing to you even after all the shit they do.

Season 3 is a fucking emotional roller coaster. It is so intense it's going to take some time, getting used to, after the season ends. Shelby's world has becoming very bloody and dangerous, characters are walking on the edge almost literally sometimes. Also Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons, nails the character in this season.

Season 4 has no rules. Everything is game here. Tommy seems a bit wiser in here and so does Arthur. And ambitions.

I usually get attached to heroine's character but I kind of didn't get attached to Grace Shelby. Even though they are in love, there is something wrong about their relationship, something you can't put a finger on.

Polly is just honestly the heart of the business. She knows everything whether it's because she has gypsy blood or because she is very observant, it doesn't matter. I aspire to be her honestly.

Alfie Solomons. He is a bad gangster but I like him.

Lastly Tommy Shelby. He is intricate and amazing. He does bad things but you will still like him and see him in a good light. You will root for him and he won't let you down even if he lets down his family.

You know what? I actually like Henry Cavill's version of Sherlock Holmes. Unlike most Sherlock interpretation, this one does understand empathy, even though he doesn't show it and is not ignorant of other people's feelings.
