UPDATE 04/22/22: It's been a full year since my initial two - star review of the series and I finally decided to start watching the series again from the beginning yesterday. And guess what . . . I'M ALREADY DONE!! I was pleasantly surprised with the story and character development. This series was SO MUCH more than just a modern remake of the classic "Turn of the Screw". This series was reminiscent of several horror titles and yet still very original. This one definitely surpassed all the others AND literally knocked my socks off! This series gave so many answers to the questions that have been asked about the turn of the screw for DECADES and also added so many layers and depth of feeling. Brilliant writing and cinematography. After the masterpiece that was delivered with the first season, I'm quite frankly disappointed in myself for expecting anything less with this season. In my original review I suggested that the producers and writers consider expanding on the story of "The Yellow Wallpaper". Well, had I watched past the first 20 minutes I would have caught the slight reference made to it in the first episode AND so many details reminiscent of it throughout the series. 😊 If you haven't watched it already, then give it a chance. You will not be disappointed. Yet again, another masterpiece. _______________________________________________ Initial Review: I've only just started watching and probably will not finish. As someone who used to be an avid horror and thriller movie watcher I was wanting a story with more originality. The Turn of the Screw already has so many renditions and most of them follow the book very closely with a split decision on the ending. I feel this season would have been better served if they focused on lesser told/seen stories. A story that would have been amazing is The Yellow Wallpaper. There is SO MUCH development that could be done with a short story like that while still sticking to the overall narrative. . . Hopefully, someone who is apart of the creative team will see this suggestion and consider using The Yellow Wallpaper for season 3. If I continue to watch over time then I will update my rating if needed.

One of the best series I have ever seen. Very well written and engaging. Wonderful cinematography. There is such a good balance of just about every genre in this one series that I'm positive every person could watch it and gravitate to at least one element of the series. I loved them all. Through the excellent character development that happens slowly throughout the series, viewers are given a good sense of who each character is on the surface and deeper and because of this we are allowed to feel whatever the character feels from their point of view deeply AND our own as semi- omniscient viewers. Beautiful story about kindness, love and relationships of all kinds. Highly recommend to everyone, no exceptions!

I'm not sure why the critics and I never agree, but this is the best movie I've watched in YEARS. Excellent acting throughout and very emotional story that continues to pull viewers in throughout it's 2 hour duration. And belive it or not, I wouldn't have minded an additional 2 hour run time on this story. Do yourself a favor and add this title to your watch list, you will not be disappointed. Better yet, you'll be hoping for a sequel like the rest of us!

I enjoyed watching this movie for the first time. It was an interesting story with some decent acting. Sam Claflin did a good job per usual and Timothy Spall was very convincing as well! There was only one actor in the cast who was not convincing and in my opinion cost this rating one of it's stars. The other missing star is due to the story itself needing just a little more developing so that it makes sense how certain connections are made AND the story was lacking just a bit in the area of character development as well. I would have loved to see more of Liams fighting days and also the relationship between Liam, Liam's brother and Cliff needed some major background work. However, the overall narrative of the story is clear and I did not get bored while watching. Cheers to 3 star's.
