It felt like a sense 8 episode with the ending it deserved
Well that is certainly one way of getting Closer to “god”
This episode (and series so far) can be summed up in one word: Brilliant
This episode was so filled with sexual stuff, that it felt extremely weird and forced. This episode barely could survive more than 5 minutes without a sexual scene.
Glad they killed off one of the annoying teen cast early. Shame the tiktok 'actor' wife is around for the duration.
I don't think I've picked up the name of Kate Siegal's character but I'm here for her everything.
"An algorithm could write movies and TV shows!"
"Not well though...."
Well played, writing team, well played. :laughing:
The death scene was wild. So well done. I didn't expect the first death to be so crazy. Now, I'm extremely curious to see how the rest of them will be killed.
Likely in the minority here but I wish there was less sexual stuff and weirdness. It doesn't add anything really to the plot. The orgy music was on point though.
That last scene was brutal, pretty invested now at this point!
This show has a deeper meaning I can't wait to find out about, and the end was shocking for only episode 2.
This episode was a little slow paced, but what an amazing ending to the episode, rather gruesome to say the least.
ok, the ending was really good. it was good after carla gugino came for the rescue. but before? god, i don't feel like i'm watching a mike flanagan show. the text is weak and the acting sometimes too. i feel like prospero was written to have another posture, like there's a miscommunication between who wrote the character and its actor. but after this ending i'm hooked. i also can't wait to rewatch hill and bly.
8.5/10
Sensational
Now that was an
Epic payoff that
left me very satisfied.
even though this was a
slow episode that final
act in the third act
made it all worthwhile.
(hope theirs more
where that came from).
Those strobelights at the end was really annoying. And I wonder, did she leave
Good continuation. A bit slow since most characters still need real introducing, but solid, and great ending.
Strangely the informant hunt plot line is basically dropped immediately ? Lots seem to agree that it was Perry, including Roderick, and he's already dead by the end. Could have been interesting.
We take a bit more time to know the siblings... and their sexuality. This time I'm not sure whether they're supposed to represent the usual Netflix diversity bingo card or a version of The Aristocrats signalling the decadence of the super wealthy ? But wow.
Well Roderick himself had twice more bastards than legitimate children. Also now is with a women half (or less ?) his age because she was so high on drugs that she blew him at the hospital.
Strangely Madeline has apparently no child, while they stayed together their whole life and, given the rest, I wouldn't be surprised they'd be weird stuff between them.
Frederick has a wife and a kid, but they seem to have a non existent relationship.
Tamerlane gets off on her husband playing house with other women (and more ?).
Napoleon is in a gay couple, but cheating with women just picked off the street.
Victorine is lesbian, and seems to be the more normal couple of the lot.
Camille has two lovers, but seeing how she treats them and that they're her subordinates, they seem more like her pets.
Perry is more into stuff with at least 5 people and also wants to fuck his brother's wife.
That's a lot for one family!
This one's main character is Perry (will there be one episode by dead child or just that since he's the first one to die, he needed more screen time ?). What a piece of shit ! Not clear whether he was always raised in the Usher wealth or came into it later, but pure cliche of mediocre super wealthy kid that think he's owed everything and that he's the best.
Verna appears a bit more. Here she seems to be just like Death, unrelated, just passing through, related to the title's original story. But first episode vibe would pitch her more as some kind of demon entity the Usher made a pact with that she's coming to collect. We'll see afterwards but she's great. She seems to actively save the staff, and tries with Frederick's wife, maybe other people. Because they're innocent ?
Are the dead really here, or is it Roderick's sickness making him hallucinate ? The show title would link him to the house, but since it's the one they grew up in, it's pre-Verna, so I'd say unlikely.
That was an excellent episode. I'm not sure why people say it was boring; it's the start of the show, and the chat between the father and the US investigator is meant to be detail oriented.
If people don't like this, then they probably don't like Quentin Tarantino movies with heavy dialogue as well.
That final scene was the only good thing about this show so far.

Boring episode with an amazing ending, so of course people are rating it only according to the latter.
