I'm really looking forward to The Fall of the House of Usher.

I've enjoyed all of Mike Flanagan's Netflix mini-series (except The Midnight Club, which I haven't seen yet). Midnight Mass was especially good, with some very thoughtful and thought-provoking dialog regarding the nature of sin, guilt, and death.

Completely agree with your assessment of "Midnight Mass;" loved that show

Heard mixed things about "Midnight Club," apparently it's from YA fiction & aimed at teens but sometimes that works out ok, guess will have to check out to see for self

Don't bother with Midnight Club, it got cancelled... and it wasn't all that great to still warrant a watch. The YA stuff didn't bother me, it was more that the actual show's plot took a backseat to the stories the group would tell. Sure, the stories are meant to be used as a way to work out their issues, but it shouldn't have overshadowed the actual show itself. Though it was cool that some of the stories they told were small adaptations of some of Christopher Pike's other novels.

Flanagan seems to work best with a confined story, instead of trying to stretch it out just in case it gets another season.

FWIW Mike Flanagan did give all of the details of where the show would have gone had it gotten renewed so viewers weren't left hanging forever.

Just checked it out. It's definitely teen-oriented, so not really my thing.
