So very good. Have you watched the haunting of hill house? What was your take on that?

I have. I’m pretty sure I have seen everything that Flannigan has made in terms of limited series.

I think that was my favorite so far.

Understandable. He does a great job making things emotional on the break down of a family.

I also have watched HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE

long before I knew that Flannigan existed.

A lot of the atmosphere and how he respected Shirley Jackson's work.

For me it was Midnight Mass. I really enjoyed it and checked out his other stuff.

I LOVED *The House of Usher* when I watched it last October and November 2023.

Especially the first episode with R and M and how it all began.

And there's a narrative twist involved.

A really terrific series by Athena Walker about these corruptions with money and power in a family. Look for "Tell me a story" in the "Eye of the Storm" substack.

So many points about family and betrayal.

I am thinking in particular of the animal testing.

And more generally the way animals were treated in THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER - as commodities; as objects.

I don't know that they realise the truth of what they've done; per se.

They realise some of the effects.
