At this point Mike Flanagan is like 90% of the reason why I'm still subscribed to Netflix.

Would of been a lot better if it was 3 hours shorter. Also had so many gay characters, it was unrealistic...

Carla Gugino could end me and i’d simply thank her

Completely woke from the get-go. It can only get worse from here.
Everyone is either gay or married/dating another race.. or both.
I have absolutely no problem with mixed relationships.. but come on.. EVERYONE?!

The story is mediocre at best and weird too.
Visually it's pretty good... I liked the 'feel' of the show.
I'm sure it may (or may not) make sense at some point, but I'm not interested enough to follow along on the journey.

3.5/10

The best thing Mike Flanagan ever done, a masterpiece that brings Edgar Allan Poe stories to life, Carla Gugino is phenomenal

Super pumped for this mike doesn't disappoint with his horror series's

As a Edgar Allan Poe reader before you watch ı advise you to go read his whole stories. Its better to read them and imagine than to watch this boring complicated tv show. They fascinated from edgar but in my opinion they couldn't make it..

i feel similarly about fall of the house of usher that i feel about bly manor; there are several aspects that i like a lot but on the whole it really feels flat and lackluster. i guess a big part of it is flanagans trademark lack of subtlety or ambiguity, which i think is the downfall of a lot of his work. i just feel like this show tells me peoples motives and relationships, tells me about capitalism and pharmaceutical companies, tells me exactly where its gonna go from the start, but i never really Feel it, im never invested in it. mike flanagan takes rich gothic source material and often flattens it into straightforward human drama; and i like drama, and i think his hill house series is the best of his adaptations (ironically when not compared to its source material), but the more of them we get the more i am bored by his simple hamfisted themes wearing the mask of gothic literature.

A Series of Unfortunate Events… but for adults.

Weird to me that no mention of Edgar Allan Poe is attached to this project.

This is the role of a lifetime for Carla Gugino. She’s transcendent in her role and deserves every award under the sun for this performance.

Every actor in here gives a performance of a lifetime, but the role that Miss Gugino plays is the biggest scene stealer. Quite reminiscent of The Man in Black from Stephen King’s work. Mark Hamill being a close second to her.

Kudos to the whole ensemble and crew for this masterpiece.

fear is a lot more difficult to feel when the first 3 minutes tell you what's going to happen

Meh. I'm not impressed. Not at all.

Only one more day. I’ve been waiting all summer for this show. I’m so excited.

mike flanagan im obsessed with ur mind

Poe must be spinning in his grave. If Mike Flanagan aimed fior the worst interpretatuon of the classic - kudos! He made it.

This was a pleasant surprise.

a good homage to Edgar Allen Poe. I slept through most of it but got the gist. not a contender for Flanagans other works.

10/10
All Gold
What a high to
Leave Netflix on
as Mike Flanagan
crosses over to
Amazon Prime.

The Fall Of The House
Of Usher
Is an Outstanding
edition to
The Flanaverse
it's an absolute
Masterpiece
as was as
Hill House and
Bly Manor.
at this point he's
god damn Willi
fcuking Wonka
and he has a golden
ticket to success
in the projects he
creates in the universe
he's formed.
The guy could
sell "Lemons"
and make a shit Load
of money because he's
a frickin genius and the
Phenomenal stories he
tells are
"Perfectly Splendid"

(With Amazon giving
Mike even more creative
control than Netflix did,
I'm Super Stoked
and i can't wait to see what's
Next from the Boss Man).

This a series we wanna love, we feel we are not truly linking it, and finish it saying we love it. I am not sure if I am by now blind and incapable to have an honest opinion on Flanagan’s work. It brings some of the most incredible moments in Netflix series. Hill House is the best ever, Bly made me scream and cry, midnight was so creepy, mass made cry even more. This one touched my values, made me question the morale of those people and sometimes mine. The scary parts where below normal, predictable. I liked the add in of gore into some of them. The drama became obvious at some point, when you are faced with the same routine in each episode. But the ending! Wow, I cried a river and felt truly afraid of one day being visited by the raven.

Once I realized the story was built on the opioid epidemic they had me hooked. The Usher family is brutal and a little evil, but sometimes in a way that you have no choice but to love them for it because it's self-preservation. Some of the monologues are pieces of art; Kate Siegel, Willa Fitzgerald, and Bruce Greenwood blew me away. So powerful. Displacement and sublimation speech? Like, talk dirty to me. I'll never look at a lemon the same way again.

Episode 1 got me curious, 2/3/4/5 owned me, but 6/7/8 lost me a bit. It seemed the more of the mystery the series lost, the less invested I was. Overall very enjoyable, but it didn't have its hooks in me the whole way through.
