"Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) turns to Edgar Allan Poe for inspiration in his latest horror project, a contemporary twist on The Fall of the House of Usher."

The Fall of the House of Usher
Netflix
SERIES PREMIERE
Mike Flanagan, the macabre mastermind behind modernized homages to Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House) and Henry James (The Haunting of Bly Manor), tackles Edgar Allan Poe’s oeuvre in an eight-part corporate immorality tale. The Ushers are now symbolic kin to the Sackler pharmaceutical dynasty, reaping a fortune from peddling addictive drugs. These venal, cruel vultures are dealt a bloody hand of karmic justice by a mischievous shape-shifting vixen (perfectly cast Carla Gugino) as the heirs of CEO Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood) meet inventively grisly fates inspired by Poe’s haunting inventions (a black cat, a tell-tale heart, even a pit-and-pendulum callback). Among the welcome additions to Flanagan’s repertory company: Mary McDonnell as Roderick’s ice-cold sister Madeline and Star Wars icon Mark Hamill as the family’s gravel-throated fixer, Arthur Pym.

House of Usher Again Dominates Nielsen Streaming Top 10, Bodies and Goosebumps Make Chart Debut (https://tvline.com/ratings/bodies-nielsen-streaming-top-10-chart-october-16-goosebumps-1235081726/)

I loved Bodies - it's very trippy - especially time trippy because it takes place in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, jumping back and forth. It has a wild premise in that the exact same body is discovered in the exact same place in each of the eras and explores how that is possible. (And for those here who would probably appreciate it, they might be interested to know there's a gay subplot.)

The 43 Best Shows on Netflix Right Now: The Fall of the House of Usher (https://www.wired.com/story/netflix-best-shows-this-week/)

The Fall of the House of Usher

Watch The Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvuAWVzP6wI)

Time for our favorite Halloween tradition: a new Mike Flanagan horror miniseries, a staple of spooky season since 2021's Midnight Mass. This year, Flanagan treats viewers to not just an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's title work, but rather several of the master of macabre's pieces, brilliantly woven into a tapestry of terror. Like the title's source, this eight-episode event hangs on twin siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher, here reimagined as the rulers of a shady pharmaceutical empire, now with a sprawling family of descendants and squabbling heirs. The fun twist is that each member of the Usher clan is adapted from characters found in Poe's other works, including The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Masque of the Red Death, and, of course, The Raven. As they start falling victim to a variety of unsettling deaths, leaving the family founders to watch in despair as their empire crumbles, Poe fans will delight in spotting the references. It's not just for grown-up goths or erudite emos though—everyone will get a creepy kick out of this delectably gothic twist on Succession.

WATCH ON NETFLIX


(This list also includes Bodies.)
