From Chris: "Gothic" haunted mansion series set in 1980s England, which first aired on Netflix. Glacial pacing and incredibly timid PG horror made for female audiences more focused on drama.
Various romantic entanglements drive an emotionally charged but melodramatic narrative. A young American governess takes care of two orphaned, troubled British children at an isolated manor. The two child actors, particularly the young girl, are highly annoying. Unfortunately, they get a lot of screen time.
This is from the same creator behind last year's The Haunting of Hill House, which I reviewed and was a better done limited series. Some of the strangest photography choices I've seen for horror - the entire series has an odd, diffuse backlighting which most directors only use for scenes occurring in dream sequences or Heaven. Leading to minimal atmosphere for a supposedly dark ghost story.
