Looking back on it, did anyone think it was coincidence when her husband dropped dead that night that his initial reaction was his head snapping a bit to the side like his neck just broke on a rope before he fell to the ground?

I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not.

I loved how that episode started off like a fairy tale and just progressively got worse and worse.

as someone who just saw this episode last night, I had a hunch it was gonna be her the whole time. I still wanna know how it's possible she haunted her younger self for all those years. Hopefully the episodes to come explain everything. But man, between Nell & Luke I don't know who's had it worse.

from what I gathered, unless I missed something, the only explanation for it was that weak-ass line about how time isn't linear that Nell said it one of the later episodes

I might have missed something important, cuz I thought that whole thing was actually kind of.. dumb

Whats so brilliant about the twist is that

*spoilers*

Its fairly obvious Nell will go the way of the Bent Neck Lady, especially with Olivia commenting about how someone could accidentally hang themselves up there and Luke continuously grabbing at his neck while they highlight the twins share some physical sensations

What completely pantses you is that she was the BNL the entire time. It wasnt a malicious spirit baiting her into hanging herself it was the house literally dangling her own dying body in front of her face as a taunt since she was like five years old, with not a damn thing she could do about it.


Just horrifyingly sad and sadly horrifying.

My understanding is

She didnt haunt herself, the house just dangled her dying body in front of her as an inevitability. Every time Nell saw the BNL took place over those horrible 30 seconds for the dying adult Nell. Its the same thing it pulled on Olivia showing her the grown twins dead/dying it loves showing you that shit and scaring you into CAUSING it yourself by trying to prevent it. Its pretty fucking dark.

IMO, the Bent Neck Lady we see the rest of the time from the perspective of other Crains is not actually Nell so much as just further taunting from the house. Nells actual spirit is continuously trying to warn or help the others.

I'm on ep 7. Ep 5 was a fucking masterpiece of an episode. Ep 6 was super well shot too. Especially with the transition between adult and child version of the characters seamlessly in present time. really emotional.

Yeah, she was just a bore overall. It really felt like they had no idea what to do with the character and tacked that marital slip on at the very last second.

A huge hint was dropped earlier in the series, but the significance of the hint wouldn't be explained until later in the same episode.

Very sneaky, writers.

Just finished it. God damn was that sad. Also the jump scare in ep 8 almost made me shit my pants. Probably one of the only genuinely good jump scares I've seen in a long ass time.

It's not. It's more like 1408 than anything. It's creepy, unsettling, but not terrifying. 90% of the show is a character drama.

I've only just finished episode 7, but my take on it was that all of the kids are somewhat psychic. Nell didn't fall through time or anything, she was continually having a vision of her own future.

And the biggest oh shit moment for me was when I realized in Luke's first episode that the "withdrawal" symptoms he was having (feeling cold, stiff muscles) was actually his and Nell's twin connection thing giving him the symptoms of being dead.

I personally thought it created a very nice tie in not only to Shirley's past but also Theo's. Some great character development came from that moment.
