The premise
Ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.
Horror Vault's take
Built on ruthless ambition and buried sins, the Usher dynasty sits atop a pharmaceutical empire that has made them untouchable — until now. When the next generation of Ushers begins meeting mysterious and violent ends, patriarch Roderick finds himself forced to reckon with a past he has long tried to outrun. Mike Flanagan's lavish miniseries weaves Edgar Allan Poe's iconic imagery and characters into a scathing modern fable about the price of power. Gothic grandeur meets psychological unease as the walls — literal and figurative — close in on one of America's most powerful families.
