Added 2025-01-24 20:32:39 +0000 UTCLet me know one show that you would love to see me cover that may be similar to this. No promises that I'm going to watch it next, but still I'd love to see some options.

2025-01-29 20:32:59 +0000 UTCI started Midnight Mass tonight. I think I'm on episode 3? Man, that guy with the beard that played Mr Dudley is acting his ASS off. I'm really impressed.

2025-01-27 01:20:12 +0000 UTCMidnight Mass on Netflix is my favorite from Flanagan. I prefer it over both Bly and Hill house.

2025-01-26 20:20:00 +0000 UTCOmg! Tell me what you think. I'm obsessed with SFU. I'll talk about it all day lol
The Existential Shrew
2025-01-26 02:44:24 +0000 UTCI saw someone else mention it in the comments and went to look it up because I'd never really heard of it before, and it instantly hooked me.

2025-01-26 00:31:08 +0000 UTCTrue Detective's first season is pretty incredible.

2025-01-26 00:29:03 +0000 UTCThe perfect show!
Victoria
2025-01-25 23:43:21 +0000 UTCSame. I actually gave up in the second episode, but I went back and finished it the other day. It was pretty good. It's just a bit of a slog when you go in expecting Hill House. It's worth finishing if you have time.
The Existential Shrew
2025-01-25 20:21:11 +0000 UTCNot that you're a Claire. Possibly a Keith? I'm definitely a bit of a Ruth lol
The Existential Shrew
2025-01-25 20:17:13 +0000 UTCOh, and it has Michael C Hall who played Dexter, and Francis Conroy who was in American Horror Story. It's the kind of show where you'll be like "Oh my God, I'm such a Claire." You know?
The Existential Shrew
2025-01-25 20:16:09 +0000 UTCI heard that Flannigan took a lot of inspiration from Six Feet Under and I felt that right away, especially in the Two Storms episode. It used to be my favorite show back in the day. Idk if it's good reaction content, as many younger people aren't familiar with it and it's more of a drama than anything else, but it's about a family working through all their messy shit against the backdrop of their residential funeral home.
The Existential Shrew
2025-01-25 20:12:32 +0000 UTCFranklin, did you see the movie or the trailer for the movie "Sing Sing"? I cried just watching the trailer. It looks incredibly moving and beautiful.
Melissa
2025-01-25 19:25:02 +0000 UTCOut of Flanagan's other work I'd really like to see Midnight Mass, it's a different vibe but really good and thought provoking. But besides Hill House my fav horror series is actually a K-Drama called "The Guest"(A shaman, a catholic priest and a no-nonsense policewoman walk into a bar... No, but I really love this show, it's really beautiful to me, and visually striking too).
Markatta
2025-01-25 16:29:56 +0000 UTCAnother Flanagan show like Bly Manor, The Fall Of The House Of Usher or Midnight Mass. All of them have the horror element, but in my opinion, none of them are as haunting as Hill House

2025-01-25 14:23:14 +0000 UTCOops, I don't know why this ended up here as a reply to you, sorry! I meant to send it to just the post in general. 😅 Anyway, I see good options everywhere!

lex ✰
2025-01-25 05:54:17 +0000 UTCMidnight mass 100% DARK has some similarities and I’d highly recommend it - disturbing tone, great intricate writing, family drama, mystery revealed slowly over time, beautiful cinematography, brilliant score.
Valaree
2025-01-25 05:20:24 +0000 UTCThe Haunting of Bly Manor is the next logical choice in the Flanaverse if you ask me. Tonally it’s similar to Hill House, but I won’t say anymore than that on that-no spoilers I promise! I think you’ll really appreciate the cinematography- I know how much you love the scene transitions in Hill House and Bly is no different.. It’s my favorite of all his shows/movies. It just hits all the right notes for me as someone who wouldn’t call themselves a fan of scary media as a whole if that makes sense. But honestly knowing how careful he is with his stories, I can’t help but watch some of his more intense works and have the same aw and wonder for the story because of how beautifully he (and each cast/crew) tells it. I might be watching most of the episodes in a few of his series’ thru cracks in my fingers, 😅🤣but the payoff of the completed story is always worth it in the end to me. Whatever you choose, I’ll def be there!

2025-01-25 03:01:07 +0000 UTCOh my god, THE NIGHT OF, yessss. One of my favorite miniseries. How could I forget about that one?

Catalina
2025-01-25 01:51:24 +0000 UTCSame. I've started it twice now and watched a couple episodes. It just isn't pulling me in.
Melissa
2025-01-25 01:26:04 +0000 UTCI haven't seen it for several years & I'd love to experience it again.

2025-01-25 01:25:01 +0000 UTC🙌🙌🙌
Melissa
2025-01-25 01:24:07 +0000 UTCI'm going out of the box and saying Severance! It doesn't look like horror, but it's existential horror. It doesn't look gritty, but it will give you thoughts to chew on for days.
Lola Lirola
2025-01-25 01:19:46 +0000 UTComg the OA. i need another season 😭
macie
2025-01-25 01:19:15 +0000 UTCi really hope you continue with flanagans works. 🙂↕️ even if it’s not soon, i know you will love the other shows he’s put out. i’m here to support no matter what, but i definitely recommend those. you give such good commentary and his shows are always so thought provoking—id love to hear your opinions on them 💞
macie
2025-01-25 01:17:22 +0000 UTCThe Night Of is incredible, and devastating. One of the rare instances where the US remake is miles better than the original!
Lola Lirola
2025-01-25 01:17:01 +0000 UTCI'm thinking of trying again. I'm not one to get bored with shows very easily (I tend to prefer the deeper character dramas) but for whatever reason I really struggled with Bly Manor.
Holly Robertson
2025-01-24 23:26:35 +0000 UTCSeconded

2025-01-24 23:22:17 +0000 UTCI know you already have it in your list I'll never stop insisting, PENNY DREADFUL. Is THAT good, and more.
Victoria
2025-01-24 23:11:53 +0000 UTCI know everyone says Midnight Mass but its my least fave of the bunch (its still really good though). The Haunting of Bly Manor is my next rec 😳
Sydney
2025-01-24 23:09:24 +0000 UTCGonna jump on the Midnight Mass train - I think you'd really love it
N. Cat
2025-01-24 22:52:37 +0000 UTCAny other shows like this ? ....... Nah, don't think there is anything else quite like this. Have to say though, pur enjoyment and appreciation of it went up a notch after watching it with the help of your insight. A show we'd love to see you watch though is Six Feet Under. Not going to go into any detail about it but pretty sure you would take a lot from it. It deals with some uncomfortable topics but is a complete roller coaster if a ride. Ps best endings of any show ever

2025-01-24 22:51:00 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing your watching of Hill House with us. Such a great show and a delight to share it with you.
Moon Brooke
2025-01-24 22:30:24 +0000 UTCI’d say The OA or Midnight Mass for me, I found both deeply moving and the writing was incredible. Really great dialogue that for really hit home for me. There are great shows out there but some are quite the commitment in terms of series length. The OA is a different writer and director, Brit Marling, who is brilliant young female, she also writes and directs like Flanagan, highly recommend her work. Both are amazingly talented writers directors whose work bring me to tears
Gabriela Popescu
2025-01-24 22:29:23 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing with us Frank !! I’d love to see you react to Bly Manor, same brilliance and such a beautiful story. It holds a special place in my heart because it touches on subjects I relate to very deeply. Don’t spoil yourself about it though, it’s like Hill House in the sense that it’s truly an experience you need to fully uncover yourself. 🫶🏻
Camila
2025-01-24 21:28:55 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to the heaviness, the dread and grief and the brilliance - I would definitely recommend The Leftovers.
Ninaofthe90s
2025-01-24 21:20:27 +0000 UTCWould love to see you react to Midnight Mass!
Eve Andreadis
2025-01-24 21:19:03 +0000 UTCThe Midnight Club is a show that i have loved since i watched the first episode, definitely less intense and horror driven but it has a similar vibe with some of the best written characters ive seen. Its an underdog show.
AllThingsNeo
2025-01-24 21:06:47 +0000 UTCSharp Objects is a bit gritty and dark but really good storytelling, I think you'd enjoy it!
Spree
2025-01-24 21:02:50 +0000 UTCIf I can further tempt you, "The Night Of" features Michael K. Williams, John Turturro and Riz Ahmed (phenom!)
Melissa
2025-01-24 21:01:41 +0000 UTCI think it's worth it. Is a little bit slower than hill house, but the story is very good. It's less scary and much sadder than Hill house
Bianca Gonçalves
2025-01-24 20:56:37 +0000 UTCFall of the House of Usher also by Mike Flanagan.
X Jae
2025-01-24 20:55:20 +0000 UTCThese are all limited series. Similar: Midnight Mass, Castle Rock, Sharp Objects, The Terror, The Sinner Perhaps not as similar but still excellent: The Night Of (!!!), The Queen's Gambit, Maid
Melissa
2025-01-24 20:53:22 +0000 UTCIt’s legit one of the most well-written shows I’ve ever seen. No critiques at all. Loved watching you fall in love with it! Thank you for sharing it with us. I’m not sure by caliber if you mean as in almost perfectly written or shows that are almost perfectly written and a bit scary. I’m not too familiar with scary things 🙃 Hill House is one of the only scary pieces of art that I will rewatch 100 times more. Entirely selfish and I know I’m a broken record, I just REALLY want you to react to Severance. I think you would have a great time with it, it’s spectacular writing, I don’t really want to name any of the genres it goes into because it takes away element of surprise. I am also in line with Melissa’s recommendation (thanks for the reminder ❤️) about The Night Of. Loved that miniseries.
Amanda Hill
2025-01-24 20:50:17 +0000 UTCLove "Midnight Mass"
Melissa
2025-01-24 20:47:57 +0000 UTCI'd love if you'd follow this up with Mike Flanagan's next work, The Haunting Of Bly Manor It's not a sequel or anything, just another show by him featuring some of the same cast members playing different characters in a different house It's really beautiful
Wanzi
2025-01-24 20:47:57 +0000 UTCIs it worthwhile? I've tried it twice, and I've quit because I find it so boring. Hill House got my interest immediately.
Melissa
2025-01-24 20:47:40 +0000 UTCThe haunting of Bly Manor is awesome, you should react to it. It has some of the actors from Hill house
Bianca Gonçalves
2025-01-24 20:44:57 +0000 UTCJumping on the Flanaverse bandwagon to suggest The Fall of the House of Usher, especially if you're an Edgar Allen Poe fan
Aloy
2025-01-24 20:42:27 +0000 UTCFantastic recommendation! I loved Sharp Objects.
Melissa
2025-01-24 20:41:23 +0000 UTCAlmost broke my ankle running to the comments to say Midnight Mass! 🤣 It was an amazing experience to rewatch one of my favorite shows with you and this community. Its awesome to know you enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to watch your last installment in a few hours! :)
Jenny Jackson
2025-01-24 20:40:48 +0000 UTCI know you are going to get a ton of Mike Flanagan recommendations (and they are great), but I would personally recommend Sharp Objects if you haven't seen it. Similar to Hill House, it is only a single season. The actress who plays Beth in Little Women plays one of the main characters. I wouldn't necessarily categorize it as horror, maybe more of a thriller, but it is so good! Also, the actor Luke is in the movie The Invisible Man, which is a great watch (also a thriller)
Barbara Ann Lewis
2025-01-24 20:39:11 +0000 UTCSense8 would be AMAZING. It's cerebral, hopeful, and just so lovely in a million ways. Only two seasons :)
anna w
2025-01-24 20:35:48 +0000 UTCIt's been said multiple times but Midnight Mass! The scary parts are similar in tone unsurprisingly and there's a lot of overlap in cast, and I loved it just as much as Hill House. I still need to get around to finishing the haunting of Bly Manor so others can speak to if that's worth watching.
