The Haunting of Bly Manor: parents' guide

Several deaths across nine episodes: a man is strangled and his body dragged into the lake, two people drown, a woman is pushed down a well, a sick woman is smothered, and a man is run over, leaving blood pooling. Mostly brief and not gory.

Frequent strong language from the adults, with f-words in many episodes, plus s-words, shite, bloody, bitch, whore, goddamn and exclamations of Jesus and God.

Two romances, one between two women, with passionate kissing and couples in bed under sheets. Women undress to bras, a boy leers at his au pair, affairs and oral sex are mentioned, and one episode briefly refers to a parent sexually abusing a child.

Adults drink often, and the children's uncle drinks heavily and alone. Several characters smoke, and a possessed boy plays with a lighter and holds a cigarette until an adult takes it away.

Constant dread with faceless ghosts, creepy dolls, decaying bodies and jump scares in most episodes. Ghosts possess the children, one child is nearly drowned, and grief over lost parents and partners runs through every episode.
