The Fall of the House of Usher
In his final Netflix project after The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and The Midnight Club, Mike Flanagan plunged into the world of Edgar Allan Poe and came away with his most gorgeously gruesome series yet. As usual, a stellar cast elevated the material, most playing characters so deliciously loathsome you couldn’t help but relish watching their theatrically gory demises. Special props to the chameleonic Carla Gugino for playing the mystery woman who seals the family’s well-earned doom.
