Was like the Dexter episode where he said he was a serial killer! So raw, sick, real, & artistically beautiful!!!!
There is no word has been created how beautiful this episode was
Not at all what I was expecting. This series is so well structured. Half of it was solo episodes for each sibling, and then a reunion episode, and then the funeral episode, and then one final setup episode before going back to show that night everything happened, and with the finale still underway. I think the writers did an excellent job in how they structured each episode.
Anyway, this was really well acted and filmed and I'm glad Carla Gugino got an episode to act her butt off. Very tragic, spooky, and emotional.

Wow! Absolutely amazing episode! This was my fav! So rich. The story, production, & acting is something that has never been broached on tv before.
Olivia experiences a number distressing visions during her time in Hill House.
This is an excellent but thoroughly disturbing episode that answers quite a few questions. What I found most effective was the lack of horror movie jump scares and the focus on more deep psychological fear.
It is difficult to discuss the plot and stay spoiler free, but I think it's safe to say that parents are likely to find what happens quite horrifying. One of the biggest fears I have as a parent is what will happen to my children when they eventually go to make their own way in the world and what will become of them after my days. This episode taps into that feeling and presents something truly awful in its depiction of that fear. In addition, thinking back to life as a very young child, the ultimate trust I had was a reliance on my mother and father to keep me safe from harm. This is another theme that gives the story a constant sense of dread.
For me all of the above fears surfaced as the plot unfolded. It makes matters worse when every visual image Mike Flanagan presents of that house is filmed in a way to maximise the creepiness.
Screaming Meemies features an excellent performance from Carla Gugino and great support from the other cast members.
