Nina Li Coomes The Atlantic In Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher, the preservation of mood pays proper homage to the author’s words. The show’s social commentary, in turn, allows a retelling of an old story to resonate powerfully in our current moment. Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine House of Usher also dares to bring Poe into the most contemporary of contexts... Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Leila Latif Guardian Mike Flanagan’s final Netflix offering is a spooky, grisly, sumptuously gothic treat Rated: 4/5 Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Julian Singleton Cinapse Mike Flanagan and his regular team of players close out a jaw-dropping era of TV terror with an Edgar Allan Poe adaptation that’s terrifying, tender, and a ton of fun. Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Pallavi Keswani The Hindu Flanagan pushes his own creative limits to experiment with fresh approaches. But as with most experiments, the person conducting it tends to tread carefully. Nonetheless, the show promises a unique watch, just ahead of Halloween. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Aditya Mani Jha Firstpost For fans of horror and adjacent genres, The Fall of the House of Usher is a delight from beginning to end, proving once again Flanagan’s reputation as a bankable showrunner.

Dan Gabriel F Serialul este foarte bun, povestea este interesanta, iar fiecare episod aduce ceva nou. Recomand sa fie văzut de cei pasionați de suspans si horror. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/25 Full Review Some G. Incredible. While I felt a few moments were a little… odd. it didn’t overshadow just how great this show was. I only know the works of Edger Allen Poe that, well, everybody else does, (The Tell Tale Heart and The Raven) I loved the way Flanagan weaved it perfectly into the story. It honestly makes me want to read more Poe, because I’m sure it just make the viewing experience that much better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review Ariana R. this was on the edge of your seat good. SPOILER ALERT someone dies each episode, although i had to watch it like 2-3 times to truly understand because there’s a lot going on i can say without a doubt this is one of the best shows i watched at the time. The show explains itself and finishes itself, doesn’t leave you on a wondering cliff hanger. This show is sooo good i recommend it to everyone when people ask for a show to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Larry S The script is so bloated and generic it feels like it was written by ChatGPT Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Ry N Dad made a deal with the devil now kids a going out Final Destination style. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Max L Beautifully executed, acted and perfect cinematography. Tip of the hat to Poe and delivered epically. Highly recommend.
