Reviews of this series by the user Goldbeater (1)
Well, Flanagan disappointed me here. I have read all of Edgar Allan Poe’s work, and “The Fall of the House of Usher” is quite possibly my least favourite. This miniseries, however, has nothing of Poe's aesthetic, it just glues together selected elements of his works in a very clumsy way in the form of the execution of the unsurprising murders of minor characters, and ties it all together with a main storyline whose final denouement is very weak. For as much as I enjoyed Flanagan's brilliantly plotted Midnight Mass two years ago, I had a hard time finishing this one. And the hamfisted all-encompassing inclusion in Netflix shows eye is starting to get solidly annoying, too.
