The Fall of the House of Usher, Netflix's big Halloween release for this year, is currently sitting on a very impressive 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Based on an Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name and other works by the legendary writer, the show is set in the present day and revolves around ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher, who have built their company Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power."But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth," the Netflix plot synopsis reads.
"By combining his signature style with Poe’s greatest hits, Flanagan creates an epic family tragedy that caps off his Netflix era with a brutally dark note.""Even if it takes on a slasher-like predictability by pushing characters toward inventive kills, one by one, Usher also grows darker and more somber as it progresses and reckons with the real-world offenses mirrored in the Usher story.
Meanwhile, among the newcomers to the Flanagan universe in the upcoming series are Mark Hamill and Mary McDonnell. Comprising of eight episodes, The Fall of the House of Usher will land on Netflix this week on Thursday, 12 October.Netflix has just added a powerful hidden gem fantasy drama"Dolores would be over the moon" - 'Zombie' becomes 5th Irish song to reach one billion Spotify plays
