I don't want this series to end.
Tamerlane pushes her husband away, explaining that he's merely a cog in her business, a handsome face and nothing more, she plans a huge product launch, but things don't quite go to plan.
Wow, this was seriously twisted, it's getting darker with every passing episode, this was deliciously macabre, as you'd expect.
We are learning more about Verna, who she is, but maybe not her motivation for doing what she's done to The Ushers, I'm sure that will be unveiled soon.
One thing I hadn't associated, there seem to be similarities to this, and the oxycontin scandal.
The actual death scene, I'm not sure how I can explain it as such, but talk about beautifully shot and pieced together.
Samantha Sloyan absolutely nails it here, Tamerlane has perhaps been the strangest of the siblings so far, but once again, no heart, it's all just business, even the relationship.
9/10.

Sam Sloyan? Sam SLAYIN'!
Yes, I'm biased, I'll admit it. I liked Sam in Hush, I liked her in Hill House, I REALLY liked her in The Midnight Club. I absolutely LOVED her in Midnight Mass. Bev was literally the first character in any show ever that I wanted to throttle with my own hands and Sam played her brilliantly. So, yeah, I'm biased. I still think she killed it as Tamerlane Usher, and in this episode especially. Her slow descent into madness really kicked up a notch, and the way Flanagan had her space out and lose time was great...and green is absolutely her colour here...
Anyway, even though I'm biased I can put that aside long enough to know that this is yet another great episode in what is quickly shaping up to be Flanagan's second best series after Midnight Mass.

The pressure of Verna on Ushers. The Goldbug festivity. And the descent into madness of too fragile, selfish, vulnerable and tyranic Tamerlane.
A film about shadows around a powerful family, reflecting their fall step by step.
The heart of this chain of deaths, closer end of Roderick and the reduced power of Madeleine is not exactly Verna but the memories of viewer about films on same theme.
A powerful episode as a precise crafted parable. And the admirable performance of Samantha Sloyan in the game of nuances of deeper profound loneliness of Tamerlane.
But the key tool are the brocken mirrors .And, sure, the final scene.

no connection to Poe, but Samantha Sloyan is terrific
If you were expecting there to be anything but lip service given to Poe, you'll be disappointed. This one has the weakest connection yet. The Gold Bug is a mere logo, in the service of one of those inane Goop type subscription services, designed to rip off the gullible. It might have been cool if the lotions and potions had been poisoned, but no.
Instead we get Samantha Sloyan in full meltdown mode, which is at least fun to watch. The stuff with her being a voyeur but being aggravated at the notion that she could have a doppleganger who replaces here, is just kind of huh?
The better plotline: Pym tracking down more info about Verna. Why isn't Mark Hamill seen more often in character roles? He's great!
