Goldbug Hat

Love it or hate it, no one could credibly call The Fall of the House of Usher a subtle series. From the very beginning, the show has opted for a more-is-more approach, taking the most lurid bits from Edgar Allan Poe’s best-loved stories and using them to spin a splattery revenge story engineered to give a few cathartic thrills to anyone who has spent the past few years outraged that the richest, most powerful people can be as rapacious and amoral as they want with no discernible consequences.
