The Haunting

Once again, the creators caught me off guard with their latest artistic endeavor (I could tell it was meant to be artistic as it was black and white, right?). It's not often that I find myself drawn to such stylistic choices (just take a look at the fourth season of Fargo). But jokes aside, I was genuinely taken with the story of the two sisters. While it may not have propelled the main storyline forward, it did shed some light on the origins of the unusual occurrences in Bly, including the emergence of the main ghost. (01/28/2021)

What a letdown! I was eagerly anticipating how the second half of the season would unfold, only to be disappointed by this sudden shift. After atmospheric and suspenseful episodes, we were served a near soap opera-like romance that just didn't sit right with me. I'd like to caution viewers — should you ever find yourself in a situation like Jamie's, don't follow her lead. Who knows what — or who — might come through those open doors instead of the ghost of a loved one? Not to mention the water bills. (01/28/2021)
