It's a fun show I guess. It's nothing like Haunting of Hill House which is an utter masterpiece. This show is modern, thus delves into garbage like orgies, "starfishing" which I had to look up.
You quickly learn how debased and garbage all the bloodline kids are, so you look forward to watching them die. It's kind of a play maybe on how trashy society is now, but I don't think that's the point.
The point was to modernize Edgar Allen Poe's work, which is a cool idea, but impossible to really do. Definitely a good show, the acting and cinematography was top level. I just lost my interest a little with all the 2023 trash.
Society is on the down slope, sexuality is being weaponized and exploited and I felt this show really didn't allow the stories to come through, but instead cowered down to the new normal of over sexualizing things with words and images.
Overall a good show, but kids shouldn't watch it. 7/10.
