Look, a lot of fantastic horror shows have come out since it first aired, but I still think The Haunting of Hill House is the best TV horror has offered in the 21st century. It’s a true classic, a miniseries that really raised the bar and launched its creator into the spotlight as a major force in the genre.

This season of Bridgerton draws inspiration from classic fairytales, specifically resembling a Cinderella story with the budding romance between Benedict and Sophie.
