Profane pseudo intellectualism at best
17 October 2023
This is a slur on Poe's legacy I had high hopes for this, and at the beginning the atmosphere and the eerie music felt like this show would deliver. But then everything went awry with cheap funny overlong exposés of the children with whom noone would be able to form a swnsible connection. It is as if those parts were filmed by someone else and glued to the gothic narrative by force. Everyone swearing their brains out as if they cannot speak without uttering a swear word at every sentence is desteuctive to the legacy of Poe, who never needed such underhanded tactics to draw attention. No need to swear, no need for nudity and sex, he used the best of language and poetry to arouse the imagination to action. This drivel wont let you immerse yourself into the narrative at all.

This is the problem of the new age pseudo intellectuals, grabbing at meaning behind even the grotesque, meaningless gibberish.

Edit: The last two episodes left me speechless. They are boring, terrible, stretched out I dont know why, lots of didactic nonsense that can work on a 5 year old maybe, terrible terrible dialogue, worse horror scenes. This was the worst thing i have had the misfortune to watch. I regret having exposed myself to such profanity.
