So much very scary stuff!

I watched the first couple of seasons and then gave up but have started to re-watch the seasons.

Aunt Lydia's back story is very moving. And sad. And she is awful too!

I’m watching for first time. I read the book but it was a very long time ago, can’t recall how much has been adapted for TV. I love the way it’s been filmed, it is terrifying.
