The Haunting of Hill House

We have one episode left, but unless they completely screw the pooch during it I can say it's easily one of the best seasons of an original Netflix show.

I also want to praise how they remained faithful to the tone and themes of the book despite not being a direct adaptation of the narrative itself.

Re: The Haunting of Hill House

I've heard so many good things about this show, so think I'll start it tonight. Seems right up my alley.

Re: The Haunting of Hill House

Lots of discussion in the Netflix thread, most every one on here seems to love it.
I am only 2 episodes in and it starts slow. I have heard it really takes off in about episode 4.

Re: The Haunting of Hill House

Episode 4 is when things click into place. In a major way. My theory was close.

The perspective the series takes feels really fresh to me. Rather than simply relying on jump scares and "ghosts." I don't want to give away too much since it's a central theme and core to the narrative, but I have loved the whole ride so far.

Re: The Haunting of Hill House

Highly highly recommend. Finished last weekend and I still haven’t stopped thinking about it. Wow. Very tense. Very scary in parts. Gut wrenching. Jump scares don’t usually get me, but there was a jump scare that made me scream and I’m a 35 year old man. It was embarrassing lol. Would love into dive into some spoiler discussions.

Re: The Haunting of Hill House

Wow. Just finished the first episode. Probably shouldn't have watched it before bed, but what a start. Man, I'm going to love this show.
