YES! I am very excited about this. We got into it and subsequently binged through it all when if first showed up on Netflix. The show is like video Xanax. I am glad there is a new season now. When we need it most.
Not gonna lie, I did laugh out loud when I saw that one. I mean, still remarkable to shape a cake into a head, but the end results for some of them were...rough.

I had been afraid to watch the Hulu adaptation of High Fidelity (starring Zoe Kravitz) as the film might rank in my top five most watched films of all time.
Unfortunately, it’s VERY good. Unfortunate because it’s been cancelled because people like me took too long to give it a chance. Interestingly they canned it right after the Emmy noms were announced which indicates the level of prestige they were aiming for.
But I highly recommend giving it a watch anyways.
Zoë Kravitz Told Us Whether She’d Return to ‘High Fidelity’
Years later, she still twinges at the mention of the show: “Every time I let it go, somebody reminds me that they love it.”
Its the best comedy on TV that nobody talks about.
I didn't love Hill House as much as a lot of people did. Bly Manor seems like more of the same, I'm 2 episode in, it's a spooky fun time, but nothing life changing.
I mean that’s about what I was hoping for so at least there’s that
I am at episode six now, I believe. I watched "The Altar of the Dead" last night. I don't agree with the idea that it is "totally different" than Hill House. In fact, I'd say it is "same same but different". It is thematically the same, as it should be as part of an anthology. It is the same in the dynamics that it explores and human relationships and human psychology - in fact, I'd say - much like Hill House - it is a story about humans and their relationships, set against the backdrop of paranormal peculiarities. It's the same in style -both favor atmosphere, slow-burn storytelling, and terror over in-your-face horror. I'd say they're pretty much exactly the same in structure and spirit. My suggestion would be to anyone who like S01 then they'd definitely like S02.
That's fair. I was focusing more on the degree of horror and tone when I said that. There are similarities there too I suppose like with the ghosts in the background. It just never felt as scary to me. I was reading a wikipedia entry about The Turn of the Screw and it said that James wanted his ghosts to be eerie extensions of everyday reality instead of stereotypical ones. I wonder if that is why they weren't as horrific.
Lol. I guess I need to rewatch it too if that's your perspective of why you see it as different. I feel - barring a rewatch - that it's probably accurate. I do remember the ghosts being more "present" in Hill House and perhaps a more constant sinister aspect to them. Like in Hill House they were actively going after the people, while in Bly perhaps it's more that they're existing in the same space so coming into conflict.
