The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)
Doesn't let the horror overshadow the mystery
I recently had the pleasure of watching The Fall of the House of Usher, and I must say, it is a masterclass in the horror genre. From start to finish, the show kept me on the edge of my seat, delivering a relentless mystery that had me wanting for more . Typically I tend to avoid the horror genre entirely but went for this solely because I was looking to fill the Succession void in me . This didn't disappoint . Although you'll know what happens in each episode pretty early on , the show still kept me excited about what will happen next .
A great short mini story for someone with a weekend to use . Mandatorily watch it at night . The whole atmosphere of the show is dark and watching it in bright sunlight doesn't make sense.
Ozark (2017)
Intense from the very beginning with higher stakes each episode
Ozark sets itself in a high stakes environment and carries that high intensity throughout the series . The episodes and story are easy to watch and don't drag anything too much . As someone who gets bored very quickly , it kept me on my seat from the beginning .
Jason Bateman gives an exceptional performance . Probably the most likable anti-hero ever . Same goes for all the other characters in the Byrde family .
However in spite of all of this , the ending left me utterly confused and disappointed and looking for answers . I felt that the writers had created something that they could not handle and thus fumbled the ending with so many open threads .
I highly recommend it regardless of that . You will enjoy . Go in with an open mind . Also stay off reddit and the wiki to avoid spoilers.
