	Author	Review
United States	David Griffin IGN	"[It] has great characters, but less scares than Hill House (...) However, creator and director Mike Flanagan is able to imbue this new chapter with rich character development and a memorable love story"	POS
United Kingdom	Lewis Knight Mirror	"A chilling and heartbreaking follow-up to Hill House with a classically Gothic tale full of romance and ghouls (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Bly Manor offers a captivating Gothic Romance full of chills, thrills, and emotional authenticity that rewards upon every subsequent viewing"	POS
United Kingdom	James Dyer Empire	"An ambitious re-treading of a classic tale, The Haunting Of Bly Manor is a solid supernatural yarn, if one that suffers by comparison to its superior sibling (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"It’s not haunting, even in its intriguing exploration about how ghosts have feelings (...) In its attempt to escape the shadow of 'Hill House,' 'Bly Manor' takes a misguided pivot into gothic soap opera (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Patrick Cremona Radio Times	"Yes, it’s not quite Hill House – but in reality this was never going to be: it is still an ambitious, gripping, moving and most importantly terrifying piece of television (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] stands as an ambitious blend of genres and arrives at its ultimate point with proper gravity. It’s not a great ghost story, it’s not a great love story, but it’s still haunting enough to hear out."	NEU
United States	Sadie Gennis TV Guide	"The biggest obstacle to the show is the incredibly high expectations most viewers will have for it (...) and if fans can shed their preconceptions and allow Bly Manor to be just what it is, they'll find a lot of value"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"You may want to wallow in this evocative world, but probably not as much as Flanagan does, which ends up being a real problem for long stretches."	NEU
United Kingdom	Joel Golby The Guardian	"[A] suspenseful, elegant, genuinely chilling horror that doesn’t need to lean on the crutch of a jump scare"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Flanagan happens to be very good at atmosphere. The sense of dread and confusion throughout the house are palpable (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
