Every episode is like a "this person's turn to die" episode, but it doesn't have any impact. The sad thing about Fall of the House of Usher is that it shows that Mike Flanagan has finally begun to make the same mistake as American Horror Story did when they thought several seasons meant they had to make the most QUIRKY and unrelatable characters ever. He fails to understand that Hill House and Bly Manor were great because the characters didn't behave like God damn sociopathic extreme far end of the spectrum personalities. They're all irredeemable psychos, and you don't relate to ANYONE. And the constant hallucinations and erratic behaviors annoyed me after episode 2. How stupid are these people? I won't be watching the season finale. This was a major disappointment to me. This episode in particular was 50% Frauderic sniffing exaggerated and constantly. It was the most annoying thing ever! The CONSTANT SNIFFING. Do better, Flanagan. You're capable of so much more..
