When us Queer folks yell about getting more shows with Queer characters we mean what Mike Flanagan is doing with Fall of the House of Usher.
People be gay. Period.
There's no fanfare. No crisis. No trauma. No ticker tape parade. It's often not the point of the story. The characters are Queer and the earth has not shattered. Some of them are boring, some are the worst people in the world, some are even nice. They are just Queer.
I want the Sci fi, the fantasy, the horror, the period romance, the procedural, the rom-com, etc.
(Side note: this show is insanely well written and directed. Like I absolutely know what's going to happen in each ep, but my word, it's so wonderfully woven together.)
P.s. Carla Gugino is just never not a pleasure to look at. Whew!

The moms’ genes straight up dropkicked Roderick’s genes in the face and yelled “no!”
I love that actually

Roderick talking about denial while ignoring the AI bot of his granddaughter texting his phone...poetic cinema

I'm sure it's already been said by bunches of people, but Perry in The Fall of the House of Usher miniseries has huge Kavinsky vibes. To the point that I thought "Oh, okay. I now fully get all the layers to and appeal of a substance party."

House of usher is definitely going to fuck me up emotionally with ep 3 &4 with the cat things so if you’re sensitive to harm to cats it’s a rough one.
It’s easy to tell when something is going to happen though and it’s been confirmed by the creator apparently that it was all a hallucination so it never actually happened

The Fall of the House of Usher is many things and I'm making a conscious choice to not scream about every single one of them rn, but what left me staring at a wall in tears is just... kindness. Death was kind. She gave every choice, every reason to stop. She would take these kids anyway but she also regretted having to take them like that. She cared when nobody else would, even though they kept making the wrong choices.
She's never cruel for cruelty's sake. She wasn't cruel to Lenore. She just sent a child to sleep as lovingly as she could, with kind words and kinder touch.
And I don't even know how to express the absolute heartbreak with blinding warmth among the cracks, when Death herself kneels before one man, worst man, honest man, who refused her offer – and thanks him with such respect.
Mike Flanagan, you fucking did it again. Carla Gugino, you... I don't even have words for you. That's a whole-ass masterpiece of human soul, meaning, and searching right there.
Kiss Death with kindness in the end
And when she parts
You part as friends
