The first episode of Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher starts off with a bloody bang.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for the first episode of Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher
The central mystery of The Fall of the House of Usher is a relatively simple one: who is behind the deaths of all the children, legitimate and illegitimate, of Roderick Usher? In the first few minutes of the show’s first episode, “A Midnight Dreary," we learn that Frederick , Tamerlane , Victorine , Napoleon , Camille , and Prospero have all died in apparently unrelated circumstances, ranging from murder-suicides to animal attacks.
Sometime after this chilling event, in a way that will become clearer in the following episodes, Fortunato Pharmaceuticals passes on to Roderick and Madeline. Longfellow's death is disguised in the media as a heart attack to preserve the family. The Usher family, that is. And, upon taking over Fortunato, Roderick vows never to be like his father, keeping his doors open to all of his children, legitimate and illegitimate alike, and giving them money to start their own businesses.
