I found Bly Manor unlikeable. I didn't get the plot motivation, it was kind of patched together. The Curse that created the "Gravity Well?" was stupid and arbitary. Some of the ideas were lame and the ending was unnessesary. I liked bits, and I liked some of the characters. I was impressed with some of the acting despite not having a greast script. You may not have liked him, but I thought that Henry Thomas did a "Perfectly Spendid" job. Oh, and by the way. I've heard and seen loads of english children who act exactly like the kids on the show, so it's not too far fetched.
