'The Fall of the House of Usher' builds an eerie update on Edgar Allan Poe's foundation
Ambitious, intriguing and ultimately a trifle confounding, "The Fall of the House of Usher" represents Mike Flanagan's latest macabre series for Netflix, this time taking a page from Roger Corman by adapting (even more loosely) the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

He's back in a show that engineers such an obvious trick one needn't be a psychologist to recognize it, or conclude Frasier should have been left happily retired.
