I really didn't like flana/gan's usher... it was so predictable and formulaic - at the same time stupidly convoluted, and worst of all not scary in any way. the avengers of e.a. poe idea already sucks it's like he just wanted to show how clever he was at connecting stuff that wasn't meant to be connected and it felt so forced. doesn't hold up on its own without recalling the original stories either. thematically its just succession for dummies sprinkled with some jampscares :/

he's definitely better at writing his own stuff cause midnight mass is still pretty good to me despite undoubtedly having his usual flaws (the overexplaining first of all... god I get it mike!!!). at this point I'm starting to think it was a fluke lol this & midnight club & bly manor are laughably bad to me
