Following the Usher family pharmaceutical dynasty, the show’s setting is extremely different from what fans have come to expect of Flanagan’s usual gothic style, but certainly not in a bad way. As many call to mind The Roys from the recently concluded, Succession.
Mike Flanagan with another hit show I am obsessed. A Gay Succession Horror series filled with gore & gripping characters. It’s camp at its finest and the tension is perfection. A revolutionary show and Verna’s presence as the looming villain was phenomenal #FalloftheHouseofUsher pic.twitter.com/cOXEkrWXSS

However, fans have not forgiven (nor forgotten), what Mike Flanagan did last time. Or the time before that. Or the time before– the man likes angst, okay? It’s goth.

We watched the whole thing today. What a perfect horror story. The way Poe is made some completely, horrifying, depressingly relevant to the present day. Each episode is a gut punch #FalloftheHouseofUsher pic.twitter.com/wFggxND4HP

#TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher stands out as one of Mike Flanagan’s most impressive series to date, paying homage to the literary legacy of Edgar Allan Poe. It serves as a chilling and thought-provoking cautionary tale about the danger of pride, riches, and family. pic.twitter.com/KurqTRgQ0o

But with a healthy dose of love for the incredible performance of Carla Gugino!
#CarlaGugino‘s role in #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher is a culmination of all of her performances from every #MikeFlanagan show and movie. A sexy goddess of death (at 52!), flirting, seducing, and frightening the living hell out of the rich and powerful with a cold killer smile. pic.twitter.com/41zoAAEia6

#TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher stars one of the greatest horror casts ever assembled in TV or film. Flanagan’s regulars are all amazing again and Mark Hamill is unforgettable here, but even then, Carla Gugino absolutely steals the show with the performance of a lifetime.
