The Haunting of Bly Manor: The Good Great Place (S1E1)

Published: Nov. 3, 2020, 3 p.m.

My guests this week wanted to do an episode on the first episode of The Haunting of Bly Manor, so we did. This episode was fun to record, I mean they all are, but you never know what the drunken guests will say. This one has some great lines, so enjoy.

If you haven't watched Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor, or its predecessor The Haunting of Hill House, check them out (although I think so far Bly Manor is more entertaining and not as slow). This season is about a young American nanny, who is hired by Henry after an au pair's tragic death, to care for his orphaned niece and nephew who reside at Bly Manor. Watch the mirrors!!!
