I do like the eight episode limited series format though. It’s conclusive, but more immersive than a movie. In some ways it’s the best of both worlds.
Yeah that wasn’t the bad part. It was the poor writing and stiff acting.
No, I’d say the writing was very linked to the 8. There is just too much content for 8 episodes.
They could have easily improved the writing without changing the episode structure, like the bad way exposition was delivered. Why do you think it’s “very linked”?
For some, maybe. I personally think that The Fall of The House of Usher was the best thing Netflix has made, hands down. I’m also a fan of Edgar Allan Poe though.
“They” is who? I see only die hard fans complaining. It’s been a success for Netflix. I’m one of the people who love the Netflix show despite the crap acting / script on some parts. I tried to get into the Anime three times now but I just can’t get past it being so child-oriented. I felt like I’m watching Pokémon. The Netflix variant is much darker, which I believe to be more fitting than the children’s show.
This is the first thing I’ve seen about the new series since release week. How are fans feeling now that it’s been out a while? I’m a die hard fan of the original series but couldn’t get past the pilot.
I really liked the anime, but am enjoying the live action. It’s not silly, which is a little of a bummer. A few plot lines are moved around or missing, but the bending looks good, the story is largely right so far (though season 2 will test that better), and the writing/acting is good enough for me.
It’s not better than the anime, but it’s a nice addition
