Popsugar Entertainment Netflix Why Owen Is The Haunting of Bly Manor's Best Character An Ode to Owen: Taking a Moment to Celebrate Bly Manor's Perfectly Splendid Chef 14 October 2020 by Maggie Panos Image Source: Netflix Before you begin, this post is spoiler-free. Because guess what? I don't need to spill spoilers to talk about my favourite part of Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor. In fact, I don't really need to talk about the other characters or the plot itself. All you need to know is that Owen, played beautifully by iZombie's Rahul Kohli, is a little slice of heaven. Bly Manor's loyal and loving chef is the one constant in a season filled with chaos, a beacon of light in a mansion filled with darkness. He's kind, capable in the kitchen, and yes, he does rock that '80s mustache. Ahead, find a few gems from the season that illustrate why Bly Manor wouldn't be the same without him. First, here's Owen in his apron. Image Source: Netflix Look at this adorable man! He's cooked for the whole house, and he still goes home to look after his ailing mother. What a guy. 1 / 8 Now, here's Owen interacting with Hannah. Image Source: Netflix I'm sorry, I was looking for English class but clearly I've walked into CHEMISTRY. An amazing connection between these two — you love to see it. 2 / 8 Owen always keeps the good puns rolling. Image Source: Netflix via Giphy BATTER! Get it? Because a cake is referred to as batter before it's baked. Owen is the daddest chef of all time. Someone get him an "I'm not old, I'm well seasoned" apron. 3 / 8 Owen's always down for an appropriately good time. Image Source: Netflix Owen's not a big party guy, but hell, he loves a bottle o' wine by the campfire! Who wouldn't want to share a blanket and a merlot with this guy? 4 / 8 Here's Owen being concerned about others. Image Source: Netflix Despite the strange events happening all around him, Owen is remarkably stable. He's a source of comfort for the residents of Bly Manor, as well as the audience. 5 / 8 Owen, like you, loves a good story. Image Source: Netflix via Giphy Cooking isn't this man's only forte. Owen is a gifted storyteller, weaving tales that I would gladly hear over a bowl of steaming stew and freshly baked bread. 6 / 8 And finally, here's Owen in all his glory. Image Source: Netflix Leather jacket, check. Light-wash belted jeans, check. Tucked-in demin shirt, check. Tom Selleck mustache, CHECK. I mean . . . what a specimen. Cheers to you, Owen. 7 / 8 For comparison, here's Tom Selleck.

A real vibe. 8 / 8 NetflixThe Haunting Of Bly ManorGifsTV
