This is a slow burn movie but the performance is amazing. Everyone truly brings you into a more realistic relationship and experience. Untouched by hollywoods fame, glamor and lies. It's painful on so many levels and makes you actually feel for the characters involved. We all bring our past life into future relationships. The good the bad and most definitely the ugly parts. Relationships are tested to the max and strained in this film. I cannot recall another film that touched on multiple levels like this without some fluff. It's completely raw and unfiltered but a completely finished product that is sure to leave you satisfied.

Poe's work is quite interesting and engaging if you spend the time actually reading and thinking things over. If you look at more recent works using his material: the pale blue eye, and the raven used the source much better.

There was many ways to use this material though the problem with modernizing written works is if you aren't careful you can lose much of its meaning and intrigue.

This was not the House of Usher I was hoping for. I stayed faithful and watched it through but this series never got off the ground. It's bland in several ways, yet straining in others.

Deciding to use a medical company as the family business in this time was not in my opinion the way to go since Netflix has painkiller, hulu has dopesick, and yet for some reason we needed more? The Ushers are not tied to a pharmaceutical company so there was other avenues to take with this but the band wagon was already rolling with this topic.

Flanagan has some interesting works but whatever he was trying to do here just doesn't work. I'm not entirely sure if the blame can 100% put on him because this is Netflix show. And this company has a history of hits and misses. If it was under HBO banner I'm curious if this wouldn't have turned out different.... Unfortunately some shows could've thrived if they were simply done under a different banner. I could be wrong and this whole thing could fall at Flanagan feet.

For me it's a miss but under a different name it might have been viewed differently.

Having watched a good portion of One Piece anime this show is exactly what you'd hope for! The outrageousness of the anime is truly on display in this live action and you wouldn't want it any other way. My sold issue with this show and it's not even the shows fault but the limited amount of episodes for season 1 is truly disappointing. So many of this new seasons are going to 8 episodes or so which is the companies fault. There are numerous shows that would have benefited so much if they could've had a few more episodes and for a anime show like this it DESERVES to have had more than just 8 to get started. Netflix scored on a perfection live action but burned us on limiting season 1 to only 8 episodes.
