Mike Flanagan’s ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ is a dark treat: review
13.10.2023 - 12:35 / nypost.com
Sackler family (who have also inspired shows such as Hulu’s “Dopestick” and Netflix’s “Painkiller”). The result should please fans of Flannagan’s past works (“The Haunting of Hill House,” “Midnight Mass”), and it also has a dash of “Succession” thrown in.
Dripping with Gothic atmosphere (and episode titles with nods to Poe, such as “The Masque of the Red Death” and “A Midnight Dreary”), “The Fall of the House of Usher” is a bloody saga about the Ushers, who helm the powerful empire, Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, which many people blame for the opioid crisis (even though they’ve avoided courtroom consequences, thus far). There’s patriarch Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood as an older man, Zach Gilford when he’s younger), his sister Madeline (Mary McDonell when she’s older, Willa Fitzgerald when she’s younger), and Roderick’s six kids from various past relationships, including Frederick (Henry Thomas), Tamerlane (Samantha Sloyan), Victorine (T’Nia Miller), Napoleon (Rahul Kohli), Camille (Kate Siegel, who is Flanagan’s wife in real life), and Prospero (Sauriyan Sapkota).Roderick also has a granddaughter, Lenore (Kyliegh Curran).
There’s the shady family lawyer, Arthur Pym (Mark Hamill, clearly having fun hamming it up with his own pseudo Darth Vader voice for the role), and the mysterious and sinister Verna (Carla Gugino) too. At the beginning of the series, newspaper clippings inform us that most of their family members have suffered mysterious and bizarre deaths at young ages.
Roderick, who is still alive in fall of 2023, begins telling investigator C. Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly) his sad and strange tale, as flashbacks chronicle his childhood, starting in the 1950s.
