S01.E01: A Midnight Dreary - The Fall Of The House Of Usher

An intriguing first episode, though it’s a little bit confusing to remember all the names with their faces.

*️⃣ VERNA = RAVEN

A raven symbolizes 'mournful, never-ending remembrance’.

The unsettling features throughout this episode - imagery of Roderick’s hallucinations and the sound of ticking clock in the background during flashback.

QUESTIONS: 🤔

A strange dynamic between teen Roderick and Madeline. Why did they sleep on the same bed? They’re far too old for this.

Who is the secret informant from inside the Usher family?

Roderick’s secret conversation with Dr. Donaldson - is he being diagnosed with something? This news clearly leaves him shaken and he starts seeing Verna.

What kind of hideous crime that the siblings had committed or witnessed on 1979 NYE? According to Auguste Dupin, that night was when everything changed at Fortunato.

Verna once said “buy now, pay later” to Roderick and Madeline. Did they enter a bargain with the devil that night?
