Reviews & Thoughts
The Fall of the House of Usher is an ambitious remix of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and also something that is very much Mike Flanagan's own.

Poor old Edgar Allen Poe, his work really didn't deserve this. In short, a series with a rather convoluted narrative, that takes the tales of Poe and tries to take them places, they were never designed to go. Like so, so many series, these days, I managed one episode, so at least my review had some balance, before calling it a day. Acting to be fair, is decent but there's more to any series than just quality acting. In summary, this is not Edgar Allen Poe. Instead its a rather drawn out eerie, tragic family tale, that cherry picks aspects of his famous works, but does nothing overly interesting or even original with them.
