Where last episode gave a good bit insight into the backgrounds of Roderick and Madeline Usher, this episode seems to be the start of the real meat of the story, and it's immediately gripping.
It would appear we are probably going to get an episode dedicated to each of the children, because here we get to see Sauriyan Sapkota absolutely SHINE as Prospero 'Perry' Usher. A presumably youngish (I've yet to see Perry's age specified, but there's all the trademarks of an 18 to 20ish hedonist here) devotee of everything debauched and depraved from drugs and high-priced liquor to mass orgies and everything in between.
We also get our first REAL look at Carla Gugino as Verna, and she's as hypnotic and sensual in her role as we would expect.
And, of course, we get our first proper death of the series. As horrific, and excruciating, and outright beautiful, as ever I've seen on film or TV. Looks like I'm canceling sleep for tonight so I can binge the whole series.
