Here’s the thing. the monologues aren’t good. They are just plain bad dialogue.
I love monologues. Most people love a good monologue. But when I complain about something like Bly Manor people start saying “you just weren’t ready for the switch from
horror to something more thoughtful”
No, I wasn’t ready for the switch from good to bad writing. A monologue is a boom or bust kind of thing. When they’re good, they’re awesome. When they’re bad, they’re painful to listen to. When Mike Flanagan is at his worst, he’s barely above the level of an emo teenager writing poetry that they think is the most important thing anyone’s ever said
Even below this comment someone is just saying it’s only “Mikes love for the gothic genre”. No, everyone gets that it’s supposed to be gothic. The problem is that Flanagan is no Brontë
