The Fall of the House of Usher

The last entry in Mike Flanagan’s Netflix universe, The Fall of the House of Usher is a sprawling ode to the works of Edgar Allen Poe. It takes full advantage of Flanagan’s outstanding regular cast and adds to it, creating one of the year’s best horror anthology shows.

As you would expect from anything with Flanagan’s name on it (having also created The Haunting of Hill House and The Midnight Club for the platform, among others), the show looks amazing, is perfectly paced, consistent in tone and delivers jump scares, shocks and enough gothic mystery to keep viewers happy. Each episode weaves around the demise of a specific family member and drives the narrative forward perfectly.

The show is a lot more lighthearted and fun than Flanagan’s arguably greatest work, Midnight Mass, and this is intentional. As farewells go, it’s a really solid piece of work and well worth a watch.

Painkiller

Part documentary, part drama, Painkiller charts the rise of the Sackler family, Purdue Pharma, and the causes and consequences of America’s opioid epidemic.

It is based on first hand evidence from investigations into Purdue, so we are shown how the company turned opioids, what should have been a last resort pain relief system, into a household and recreational drug for millions across the country. It’s a drug so powerful that addiction was certain despite a huge marketing campaign stating the opposite. Puedue made billions, thousands died.

Painkiller is brutal, honest and, sadly, massively entertaining.

Lockwood & Co.

The good thing about Lockwood & Co is that it is a really well made, well written and completely enjoyable romp through a paranormal cityscape, with solid performances, some decent effect work and a really well devised and realised tone.

The only bad thing is that after just one season, it fell foul to the almighty Netflix algorithm and was cancelled despite solid reviews and a loyal fan base. Much to the outcry of many.

So, with just one season to watch it’s perfect for a day binge. If you like your teen drama a bit spooky with solid lore and good character work then Lockwood & Co is well worth a look…. just don’t be sad when it ends, the algorithm cannot be bargained with.
