Review not from an Edgar fan but a Flanagan fan!
15 October 2023
Went into this with great excitement knowing this was Flanagan's last work with Netflix. An end of an era as many of us found him on this platform and fell in love with his work.

Coming to The Fall of the House of Usher, it's a good show that never touched greatness for me. It's definitely better than Flanagan's last work for Netflix, The Midnight Club but it wasn't a hard show to top. The premise is good, the writing is decent and the acting is convincing but the show itself is way too simple and predictable for it to make me intrigued about what happens next.

If you pay attention to the first episode, you can get a pretty good idea of what will happen next and the show never tries to challenge its initial premise, it's fun to watch the events play out but they play out without surprise.

I don't regret watching this at all and I believe it's definitely a worthwhile watch if you like Flanagan's previous work. Excited for whatever he does next in the future.
