    LUKE ACTION, SOLID

    I thought this episode was good, very solid. I didn't LOVE IT as much as the first couple episodes just because it took awhile to really be introduced to Luke. Overall, still SOLID tho, this story has really strong value.

    This has some incredible writing

    From the perspective of writing in and of itself, of recovery, of general insight, of poetic view. This, in and of itself, as well as part of the series, is a good work. WAY beyond being part of a horror show. I loved the original HOHH, back in the day. But this, this is something else again.

    One of television's finest hours

    The first super strong episode of the series, the get stronger from here on, but this is the episode that really establishes that this isn't JUST horror. It is heart too.

    Another solid episode

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    "The Twin Thing", 4 th episode of "The Haunting of Hill House" wan't the best yet (this goes to previous amazing episode "Touch"), but still i really enjoyed this episode as well the show so far. This is not a straightforward horror fest, more its a family drama that went through some very disturbing things in a past and now in a present and past are facing these demons again - literally.

    Overall, i like the pacing of this show, acting, great writing and directing. Very good series so far.

      Luke counts one to seven because there are seven members of the family, there's also seven steps from his bed to Nell's bed. You can see that near the end of the episode, when he awakes because Nell is awake too.
