16. The Haunting of Bly Manor

The Haunting of Bly Manor was a master in the emotional storytelling of a ghost story, yet its slow pacing and too many backstories reduce its impact. A film version would be more centered around the love story of Dani and Jamie, while mysterious happenings surrounding the manor would have a tighter narrative structure. The haunting and breaking elements or twists could have been given more impact in a concise way, maybe delivering chills and emotions in equal distribution without losing the audience in unnecessary subplots or lengthy exposition.
