Fall of the House of Usher
#1
From Michael Flanagan, the man who brought you The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, comes this story from Edgar Allan Poe. But it's not just the titular story, there are supposed to be a lot more Poe stories in there as well. It centers on Roderick Usher head of the House of Usher which owns a pharmaceutical company. The family is in trouble and Roderick wants to confess his sins to C. Auguste Dupin all that has occurred. 

Ep01 has one big horror story in the middle of it to get us started as the story goes back and forth in time following Roderick and his sister Madeline.

I think I need to read more Poe to get the full picture. Sure, if they ever get to the Cask of Amontillado, I'll be golden. I'm sure I'm missing a lot but I did recognize the name Dupin.

There is a lot of atmosphere. The canvas is much broader than the haunted house stories or the vampire on the island story. I'll watch more. Bruce Greenwood who plays Roderick has the best voice and needs to do more VO work. Lots of other familiar faces in the cast like Mark Hamill and Mary McDonnell.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
