(I think it's because I rewatched some pieces of episodes to solidify a timeline for a tag, but it still made me lol)

Well, it's based off of the Edgar Allen Poe story. And like the creators other works, it's also an amalgam of a lot of other stories of his.

The premise is that the House of Usher is a pharmaceutical conglomerate run by this man and his sister. Circumstances happen and his children start dying off. And this is the story of how and why and how the family rose to the circumstances they're in in the first place.

How medical drama-esk is it?

ChickletLARP : How do you mean? There's a medical subplot? Experimentation on animals to test this medical device.

But it's strictly horror.

I mean, this is the same guy that did The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Mom likes medical shows. I hate them, but love Poe. Was trying to figure out if I could handle this

ChickletLARP : Yeah, it's not a procedural at all.

Okay cool. Ty. Not a huge fan of horror, but for Poe may give it a shot.

It touches on medical things, but not in a way that a 'medical show' would do.

Fair amount of blood and gore.

BruberryMuffin

@zandroid

Sun, Oct 15, 2023 4:25 AM

But most of it is after the fact?

Weirdly i can handle blood and gore far better than like... a dood with a shirt off or discussion of the parts of the inside of a human body

or outside, to be fair

interesting

BruberryMuffin

@zandroid

Sun, Oct 15, 2023 4:30 AM

Glittery Jim : Yeah. It's a frame story with this lawyer who's been prosecuting his company and each episode roughly is how a member of his family dies.

Along with flashbacks to when Usher and his sister were younger and just getting started.

I admit I had not heard of the Poe story. Should I read that before going in?
