So, the original story was about how familial rot caused the downfall of the Usher family.

With the show, sure, the family was rotten, but it wasn’t their rot that was the source of their demise - it was just a Faustian deal that Roderick and Maddy made when they were young.

I still enjoyed the show, but not my favorite Flannagan venture. Still, #1 in my book is Hill House. Then I’d say Midnight Mass, then Bly Manor, and then the Midnight Club. All solid series though.

I'd prefer no spoilers, but whatever,

I watched an episode an a half, and it's not really grabbing me. And it doesn't seem very spooky yet. Does it get better? Does it get spookier?

I never once got a spooky vibe from it.

I watched an episode and Usher wasn't even in it at all. Do not recommend.

^well DUH it is about the FALL of Usher, so he isn't in it anymore.

This thread was created to contain the spoilers.

There ain't enough activity here to warrant a running week by week conversation about a show, *IMO

Is The Midnight Club worth watching?

I would say give it a shot. Its production value is lower, the CGI is a little hokey, and it relies more on Flannagan’s jump scares, but it’s ok. It’s probably my least favorite of his Netflix run.

We decided to go back and give it a chance after nrot being very impressed with the first episode.... and thought it was really good. I think it or Hill House are my favorites.

It's defeinitely spooky/creepy/weird.

And it was funny to see the scene where old Elliot (E.T.) and Luke Skywalker were sitting on a couch talking.
