Trudging into April with horrible cold and decorating. But finding the excellent Fall of the House of Usher has been great evening TV.

Fall of the House of Usher (Netflix) is from Mile Flanagan, who did the amazing Midnight Mass. He has sorted of reinvented horror, which was never one of my favourite genres. I love the dedication to language, in the long dialogues, the fact that he has a group of actors who clearly trust him, and ability to weave a complicated set of themes.
Here he's blended Edgar Allen Poe into Succession. It's like a parallel universe where the Roys finally got served justice.
Main trailer has too many spoilers for my liking but teaser here.
