The Fall of the house of Usher - Netflix

[looking4pup]

Anyone watching?

I forget what number episode I'm on, we've just watched the "Telltale Heart" inspired episode which I really enjoyed.

I am enjoying it a lot, I was quite instantly hooked though which a lot of people on here don't seem to have been. I did also prefer haunting of Bly Manor to Hill House so perhaps I've just got bad taste.

Loving it.

Absolutely loved it. Binged binge-watched in two days.
This was just as good as The Haunting of Hill House, imo.

It was OK. The ending was all a bit unremarkable and stupid in my opinion.

Was totally hooked on this despite the gore. Very bingeworthy series. Enjoyed Poe spotting.

I'm really enjoying it. To make it last longer, I am not allowing myself to watch each episode until I have read the short story that gives its title. They are amazing stories. Mr Poe was a very good writer.

I’m really enjoying this - I’ve been binge-watching all day. I also loved all of Mike Flanagan’s previous TV shows and films.

However, as PPs have said, I don’t particularly like it when many of the same actors are used. American Horror story was similar, and I only got to the end of S2 of that. Admittedly, Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and others, are great actors but I would rather someone fresh play a new character.

Just finished this, was really good!

A few proper jump scares and a good enough story to keep it interesting.

That is such a fantastic idea!

The Pale Blue Eye (I think it’s on Netflix) is based on Poe’s short career as a Cadet, combined with a horror storyline. It’s not bad at all.

I've just finished it. I really enjoyed it and I'm not usually a horror fan. (Had to google to double check that it was indeed Mark Hamill as the lawyer - he's really good). I'm now in need of something else to binge watch if anyone has a recommendation

Loved it, I've loved all Mike Flanagan's series so far. Love the actors he uses too.

Same. DH and I thought it was gross.

I've not seen this yet. I didn't realise it was a horror. Sounds interesting.

The name comes from an old short story by Edgar Allan Poe. I liked it. I thought it was a decent modern tragedy.

I've just finished episode 2. Can't say I'm really into it. It must get better if you've all enjoyed it?

I've just finished watching it and it definitely gets better with each episode.
I admit until about episode 4 or 5 I was forcing myself to carry on watching as I usually love Mike Flanagans stuff but the last few eps are far more interesting and I'm glad I stuck with it.
Not a patch on Hill House though.

I didn’t get through the first episode.

The really pretty one with the grey hair is married to the director? I don't see them together at all.

I remember getting the book of EAP's short stories out of the library when I was about 13. Can't recall any sexy bits.

@thenightsky you mean there wasn't a Victorian orgy?!

I was 13 so maybe it was worded in such a way I didn't notice it was an orgy.

The Masque of the Red Death mentions wantonness. I think that's the orgy part there.

Just finished episode 2, can’t say I’m hooked yet.

Just finished it all.
