Haunting at Hill House had some interesting twists and camera tricks

The Haunting of Hill House series was incredible by the end. That big twist was "whaaaaaaa?!". The only issue I have is the Bent-Neck Lady reveal, which makes no sense unless it was a hallucination.

I'm just disappointed that we have such a long wait before season 2, as well as the fact that it's basically going to be a new thing... as well as the fact that it's going to based on The Turn of the Screw / The Innocents. While I haven't read the novel, the first adaptation (The Innocents) was kinda lousy. It's supposed to be a psychology thriller but it lacks any real suspense and mystery. Overlooking the artistic elements, I kinda suspect that a lot of the acclaim was a product of its time or, conversely, that so many better works have come out that its elements look weak by comparison. (That said, the first movie based on The Haunting of Hill House -- simply called The Haunting -- also left me a bit disappointed, yet the series used that as a springboard to create something cool.)
