‘Frasier’ (2023) Episode 1 Recap & Ending Explained: Will Frasier Come To Know What Freddy Is Up To?
The last episode of Frasier aired in 2004, and it ended with Frasier Crane headed to Chicago. The show is a cult favorite, which is why we now have a new reboot of the same, streaming on Paramount+ Channel. It will be interesting to watch where this reboot will take Dr. Frasier Crane’s character, and will there be more new characters in the show?

Why is Dr. Frasier Crane in Boston?
The first episode of new season begins with Frasier Crane reaching Boston airport with his nephew David, who seems to be worshiping his uncle to the point it gets a tad bit nauseating. Dr. Frasier likes the attention because he feels there is finally someone in the family who gets him. David is a student at Harvard, and it is endearing for Frasier because he is an alumnus of the prestigious Ivy League university, something his son Freddy never found appealing enough.

The ending of The Fall of the House of Usher is a rather depressing one. Not only because we have to say goodbye to the wonderful show and Flanagan’s stint with Netflix, but also because the show has a rather bleak ending. We’ve established that Verna is Lady Death herself, but we don’t know what the deal was that the twins struck with her in ‘79. On top of that, why did the kids have to die as a result of it? Auggie has been hearing Madeline in the basement this whole time, but she hasn’t shown up all night, which is very odd. On this one night, Auggie has felt cheated, threatened, and a little bit scared. This episode is titled “The Raven,” which seems like the most literal adaptation in the whole show. The poem is about a raven that visits a student grieving his lost love.

With 264 episodes, not a single one of which doesn’t have something to recommend it, picking out the best of NBC’s Frasier (1993 – 2004) is a ridiculous thing to attempt. For a start, you’d need to include all of the dinner party episodes, obviously, plus every story in which Niles and Frasier ruinously compete with one another.
Such a list also couldn’t leave out any occasion on which John Mahoney as Marty Crane swerves mid-comedy to punch you in the gut with feelings, or any of Kelsey Grammer’s brilliantly controlled clowning.
You’d need to represent every perfectly timed trick from Eddie the dog, and have a fair smattering of Maris gags, Roz’s smart mouth and Daphne’s stories of an English childhood just to cover the basics. You’d be into the high 90s before you’d even got going.
To winnow it down to just the 50 best episodes of Frasier?...

With just two episodes remaining in The Fall of the House of Usher, we can imagine that all our questions will finally be answered. What did Madeline and Roderick do all those years ago that made them so paranoid? More importantly, why does Roderick think he killed his children when clearly they all died due to circumstances, none of which involved Roderick directly? The Pit and the Pendulum is a dark tale of torture and leaves an eerie mark on the reader. Now, will it be Frederick who gets tortured to death? Or will he torture someone else?

There Is No Good Usher
Now we know that Roderick betrayed Auggie, but up until now, the story goes that Roderick was doing everything in his power to support him. They even rehearsed together in the wee hours of the night to make sure Roderick wouldn’t mess up the trial.

Roderick Usher’s got more family members than a raven has feathers. So let’s make like Mirabel Madrigal and kick off this recap of The Fall of the House of Usher’s premiere episode with a round of introductions.
We’ll start with the man himself, Roderick (played by Bruce Greenwood, The Resident) and his twin sister, Madeline (Mary McDonnell, Battlestar Galactica), the heads of a pharmaceutical company that has made billions off its patented opioid painkiller. Madeline has no children but Roderick has many: Frederick (Henry Thomas, The Haunting of Hill House), the eldest offspring, yet a manchild; Tamerlane (Samantha Sloyan,...

Oh, they saved the oldest and best for last.
The Usher kids were deprived in one or the other, and it became much more complex the higher up the age ladder one went.
However, they weren’t morally bankrupt, save for Frederick.
The show showed how bankrupt he was and then ended his story on The Fall of the House of Usher Season 1 Episode 7.
It also teased the original sin Roderick might have committed that saw his children pay for decades later.
We will do Frederick the honor of starting with him first, not because he deserves it but because we need to get these emotions out.
Everyone has dealt with feelings of inadequacy, which might escalate to feelings of inferiority. Instead of obsessing over your real or perceived flaws, the trick is to focus on what you’re confident in.
But some people can’t seem to shake those feelings and dominate their lives.

The Fall of the House of Usher is filmmaker Mike Flanagan’s gloriously morbid remix of author Edgar Allen Poe’s best-known stories and poems, and it’s winning raves from critics (with a 92 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes). Even those totally unfamiliar with Poe probably found some glimmer of recognition amid the show’s nods to his best-known tales — such as “The Pit and the Pendulum,” “The Raven” and “The Cask of Amontillado” — given how Poe’s stories have threaded through pop culture over the last 175 years or so.
But even Poe superfans probably couldn’t spot all the references — because there are dozens scattered throughout the show’s eight Gothic episodes.
So here they are (The Hollywood Reporter compiled this based on notes supplied by the show’s production team — I’m not going to pretend to be this smart; also, there’s always a chance that a...

It’s interesting to read the description of each episode of Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher. Victorine’s death was especially brutal, with Roderick witnessing the whole thing. Episode 6 is titled Goldbug after Tamerlane’s product, but it is also the title of one of Poe’s short stories. Tamerlane’s story is one of obsession; she’s incapable of thinking about anything outside of her big launch, even if four of her siblings have just died. Let’s see how her obsession becomes her downfall.
Spoilers Ahead
Tamerlane’s Loss Of Time
We know Tamerlane hasn’t been sleeping at all, thanks to her fear that the Goldbug launch might flop. Because of this, she starts to lose time while working on the launch. She doesn’t realize when she’s crossed out the whole speech just to write her own name in capital letters.

Three children dead under mysterious circumstances, all in the same week, is concerning.
With three bastards gone, the remaining three could see something was amiss.
The Fall of the House of Usher Season 1 Episode 5 dealt with the aftermath of Leo's death while showing the evil in the others as Verna put them on the scale to see if they were ripe enough for picking.
I've said this, and it's worth iterating that for all their flaws, the Usher children seemed to be paying for the sins of their father.
And if someone traced back their shortcomings, they all seemed to share one person in common. Roderick.
Raising well-rounded humans is not about having vast wealth such that they will never want of anything material. It is realizing that they must feel loved, respected, and embraced.
Even with Roderick's many shortcomings, one can argue that his biggest was letting down his children.

Given the circumstances, Roderick Usher should be distressed and grieving after the third death amidst his children, but instead, all he and Madeline worry about is the board and what happens next to the company. It’s almost as if this entire scenario is inevitable. The name of episode 5 is The Tell-Tale Heart, a murder mystery told by an unreliable narrator. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe Roderick is paranoid, and all of what he’s saying is a big lie, a story his mind has made up to deal with the loss of his children, or maybe Verna is real, and she’s coming to get him next. Madeline has her own theories, so let’s quickly jump into The Fall of the House of Usher Episode 5.

Oh to be young, hot, rich, and have a wealthy daddy. That's the dream, right?
But what if that dream comes at the cost of millions of lives destroyed? And by destroyed, we mean they expired?
The Fall of the House of Usher Season 1 Episode 2 dove deeper into the workings of the Usher family's business, which was pharmaceuticals.
In the series premiere, we learned about the effects those drugs had on people, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Following the revelation in court, the children were apprehensive, and everyone was on edge because the mole could be anyone, which was scary.
We met Dupin in the series premiere as an older man working as a detective to bring the Usher family to justice for their crimes. Still, that scene didn't last long between introducing the storyline and setting up the characters.

Mike Flanagan brings back several of his favorite actors for his new Netflix series “The Fall of the House of Usher,” including wife Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood and Henry Thomas. You’ll also recognize several cast members from the canceled-too-soon “Midnight Club” and a few from the film “Doctor Sleep” and the limited series “Midnight Mass.”
And you might need help keeping track of who’s who within the Usher family, headed up by Roderick and Madeleine Usher. Flanagan drew on various Edgar Allan Poe writings for this macabre tale, including the title story, as well as “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Raven” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.”
Here’s a complete “Fall of the House of Usher” cast and character guide.

This article contains spoilers for The Fall of the House of Usher.
To say there’s a lot going on in The Fall of the House of Usher is to put it lightly. This Netflix title is…
– The latest (and likely final) spooky Netflix series from horror maestro Mike Flanagan before he moves on to his new overall deal at Amazon.
– A deeply angry allegory about the human wreckage wrought from the opioid crisis.
– An adaption of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
– An Easter egg and reference bonanza of the rest of the Gothic literature titan’s classic works.
While all of those elements are of equal importance, it’s the Poe aspects that really shine through. Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher may just be the most effusive love letter to America’s spooky uncle that has ever been penned.

There’s at least one death in almost every episode of The Fall of the House of Usher. Well, in seven out of eight, if I have to be specific. There’s also a lot of cynicism, self-reflection, long monologues, both in prose and poetry, and a whole lot of Edgar Allan Poe in it. As you all know by now, the series is an adaptation of Poe’s famous short horror tale of the same name, by modern-day horror master Mike Flanagan. But it is more than just that, as Flanagan has folded in a lot of other macabre horror tales of Poe, as well as so many references and easter eggs.
If you are familiar with Flanagan’s style of adapting classic horror into morbid, deeply moving sentimental pieces, then this should not surprise you. However, Poe’s work is unlike anyone else’s, and Flanagan has done total justice to that here.

The incredible part of The Fall of the House of Usher is how it’s a story told to us by a completely unreliable narrator, yet we want to believe everything he says. Leo’s story is one of guilt and shame. He’s a person of many indulgences, but he also happens to just be an impatient man with a dislike for cats. Episode 4 of The Fall of the House of Usher is named The Black Cat after the story of a sadistic narrator who killed his own beloved cat to later do much worse. This story also inspires another part of the show, but we’d suggest not looking it up until you’ve finished the whole show. This episode deals with the themes of addiction, drug abuse, guilt, and much more, so let’s quickly dive into it.

Now that we’ve been introduced to the Ushers, it’s time to see them laid to rest one by one. The Fall of the House of Usher Episode 2 revolves around Prospero Usher, aka Perry, the youngest son of Roderick. Prospero, the egotistic, proud son, who came into his wealth not long ago. Perry’s debaucherous ideas aren’t really to the taste of the twins, and they’ve already turned down his idea. But you’re only young once, and Perry takes it upon himself to show the Ushers what he’s really made of and that the numbers will add up. Every episode is titled after a different short story written by Mr. Poe himself; this one is called The Masque of the Red Death. A story about a wealthy man named Prospero who tries to escape a plague by locking himself up in his abbey and holding masquerade balls.

Mike Flanagan’s fitting goodbye to his time with Netflix has finally come. Although we’re sad to see his collaboration with the streaming giant end, we’re excited to see what mind-numbing new horror he has coming for us next. To answer the question on your mind, no, the Ushers are not a part of the Haunting series, although it is very much in line with previous Haunting shows. The Fall of the House of Usher is based loosely on the short story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe. Episode one is an introduction to the many characters we will see buried by the end of the series (not a spoiler). So, without further ado, let’s jump into the first episode of The Fall of the House of Usher.

For most people, choices made incur consequences. One of the most intriguing components of life is the realization that we all have a tab, and at one point or another, a bill will come due. The 1% who hold the majority of the wealth and influence globally typically don’t abide by these same rules. The upper echelons of society move through life seemingly without repercussions by leaching off the powerless. Mike Flanagan’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” which earns its title from an 1839 Edgar Allen Poe story, showcases the demise of a family who, after being afforded every opportunity, eventually pays the price for their rampant monstrosity.

Ask a few diehard “Frasier” fans to name the strangest moment from the show’s 11 season run and you’ll get a few different answers. Some will point to the infamous “Goth Freddie” scenes, in which Frasier’s bookish son shows up looking like a seat filler at a Nine Inch Nails concert. Others will single out the time Frasier stars in a TV commercial that sees his voice imposed on a talking version of Eddie in a nightmarish foreshadowing of TikTok A.I. And of course, someone will mention a stoned Martin Crane explaining that he put his trousers in the refrigerator because he had an idea for “Fridge Pants.” All three are perfectly defensible choices — and they all come from the same infamous episode.

On a dark night, pharma tycoon Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood) invites an old acquaintance to meet him in his childhood home. Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly), an attorney with the U.S. government, is surprised by the overture: He’s arguing a landmark lawsuit against Roderick’s company for its driving role in the opioid epidemic, and he’s never gotten the elusive magnate on the record. So, he approaches the boarded-up house at the end of a cul-de-sac, its rotting frame illuminated only by the pale glow of distant lightning. Inside, Roderick shocks Auguste by confessing his guilt—not only accepting the accusations against his company, but claiming responsibility for the recent, mystifying deaths of his six children.

Since 1991 (and primarily within the last 10 years), a total of six TV performers have earned recognition from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for reprising roles that had brought them Golden Globe nominations at least a decade earlier. With this and his own stellar HFPA track record in mind, Kelsey Grammer – the two-time Best TV Comedy Actor-winning star of “Frasier” – can more than reasonably be expected to join said prestigious club by scoring his ninth bid in the category (and first in 22 years) for the Paramount Plus revival of his beloved NBC sitcom. What’s more, he might actually make history as the first actor involved in such a situation to pull off a comeback victory.
Grammer collected his first eight Golden Globe nominations for “Frasier” between 1994 and 2002 and emerged triumphant in both 1996 and 2001. After saying goodbye to Dr. Frasier Crane 19 years ago, he is now set to lead a long-awaited...

“Frasier” has entered the building.
The beloved sitcom starring Kelsey Grammer as psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane returns with a “sequel series” on Paramount+. Frasier returns to Boston, where he guides his adult son Frederick (Jack Cutmore-Scott) and reunites with old college pals, like new character Alan Cornwall, played by Nicholas Lyndhurst.
The synopsis for the upcoming show teases that Frasier is “off to a different city with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfill.” To note, Frasier originally lived in Boston when he first appeared on “Cheers.”
Toks Olagundoye, Jess Salguero, and Anders Keith also star, with original cast members Peri Gilpin and Bebe Neuwirth returning for guest roles.
“Cheers” co-creator and executive producer James Burrows will helm the first two episodes of the “Frasier” revival, with the pilot taped in front of a live studio audience in Los Angeles.

In her book Becoming Free Indeed, Jinger Duggar discussed her experiences as a member of the Iblp [Institute in Basic Life Priciples]. This religious organization was devoutly followed by her parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar. In turn, they expected their 19 children to follow these practices. However, in one passage, Jinger shared that women in this religious organization feel “worthless” unless they are married and have babies. Is she referring to her oldest sister Jana Duggar?
