Mike Flanagan’s (The Haunting of Hill House) latest is one bloody tribute to Edgar Allan Poe and plays like a more highbrow American Horror Story
. The streaming giant has moved in recent years to making fewer seasons per series, and frequently canceling shows before they’ve finished telling their respective stories. Flanagan technically doesn’t make an ongoing series, but rather writes and directs various miniseries that tend to feature a lot of the same actors, likespectrum. And collectively, they feel like part of a larger anthology drama, like a more literary, less aggro version of.
The rest of the cast isn’t too shabby, either. The great McDonnell doesn’t get as much to do as you might hope, but more than anyone she embodies the cold ruthlessness that has brought the Usher family to such great heights, and set them up for such an awful fate., opting for a deep gravelly voice, offers some welcome dark comedy as family fixer Arthur Pym, of whom Dupin suggests, he’s the kind of man you call if you’ve accidentally killed a prostitute and need to dismember the corpse.
The individual deaths are unflinchingly graphic in different ways, and all of them come with a psychological component that’s just as terrible as the physical manner of each killing. But that format becomes repetitive by the time we hit the midway point, especially when the episodes are viewed close together in a binge.
