I heard about the shoehorned lesbian plot and I've completely disregarded the series because if it. I bet a lot of the people who enjoyed the representation were either straight or 'queer', whereas actual lesbians and bisexual women found it lacking.

The straight couple was more genuine, in my opinion. I liked them a lot.

Anyway, it's a nice drama, if you don't mind the horror vibes. If you're looking for something more scary like its predecessor, you'll be disappointed.

Yeah, I might just stick to the original story, The Turn of the Screw, and The Innocents, from the 60s, which is a fantastic watch.

Honestly I thought it was cute and well-done. It was a bit of a "what?" that people in the 80s didn't have a problem with it, but if you can accept that inaccuracy it didn't feel shoehorned at all imo and it flowed really well with the rest of the story.
