Bly Manor Episode 7 time. Started paying attention to people's outfits and working out which ones people died in
Love to have a mansion so big an entire wing can be dedicated to the murder ghost
I allow ZERO creepy music boxes in my abode
Incredibly bad boyfriending going on tbh
Please god stop writing your characters to say outloud what they are thinking and what things means
Weird twist blaming a woman for for an abusive father
The complications of Quint's situation and his actions would be better considered without the first half of the show having him depicted as unambiguously bad even before he disappeared.
Meep meep
I do love the musical stingers in these
I also read my books in the foyer in front of my huge front doors. Very normal.
This black and white episode is awful and the narration is absolutely atrocious. We do have someone coughing in to a tissue though, and thats not a cliche at all!
I have spent too much of this episode laughing tbh. What a garbage origin for the house.
loooooooooool magical mansion because a lady was angry over some clothes hahahaha
HAHAHA HAUNTED CLOTHES THIS IS ALL ABOUT HAUNTED CLOTHES jesus what a waste

Yup, ghosts definitely all check their hands when they realise their dead. Everyone check your hands and look confused.
This would have been far more interesting if we'd been seeing more faceless ghosts, and hadnt had random ghosts from outside the grounds tbh. Sorry dead fiance you were boring and, in the end, completely irrelevant.
The narration over this episode simultaneously shows the action on screen doesnt sufficiently establish what is going on but also... doesnt actually add anything? If you removed it you wouldnt lose any relevant information lmao.
GHOST FIGHT
Nevermind everyone is fucking useless apparently
What a shitty ending.
I really have to care more to be upset if a character dies, and this has really twisted itself in knots to try and have a sad ending. This is like someone dropped a bunch of random pieces in a pile and tried to smush them together.
Dont think I didnt notice we got one dead white het person out of all the bodies.
Oh god there's still people describing how much they love other people and using dialogue to put their feelings on the screen instead of like... actions showing anything.
Smashing the audience in with a brick until they know which characters ~love~ each other because at no point will we establish it with actions, looks, shots, framing. Gotta say it, folks.
Oh christ the last shots are literally explaining things to the audience. Absolutely no chance taken that people might misunderstand what has been hammered in to their faces.

DO YOU KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE??? DO YOU???
