I really like how the devil lady mentions, when involving Madeline in the deal, how she like symmetry.
When she speaks to Roderick at the beginning of the episode, she talks about how the millions and ultimately uncountable number of people who have died and have become addicted because of him.
When speaking to Lenore, she mentions the number of people whose lives will be saved because of her direct actions - millions and ultimately uncountable, because those who she will have helped, will help others. And then Juno creating rehab centers with all of Roderick’s money, to remove the addiction he put into the world.
Symmetry.

Can’t wait for Bly Manor whenever it comes! I loved all of the reactions to this show. So so cool, unique, spooky and thought provoking!!! I love it here.

She told some of them what they’d have been. Like Frederick would’ve been a dentist, which is why it was ironic that she chose to kill Jim the way she did because of his actions.

I love the idea that Verna is a primordial entity more akin to Death than the devil, and that rather than making a deal with a ‘devil at the crossroads’, the Ushers as well as other powerful and influential people throughout history have instead made a deal with Death… It’s fascinating to think about the implications of that 👀
Another absolutely magnificent series that you would probably really appreciate and enjoy is ‘Penny Dreadful’; it’s 3 seasons of pure mastery, and the best homage I’ve ever seen to the original classic novels that sparked the horror genre, if that’s something you’d possibly be interested in reacting to xxx

I'm not sure if y'all noticed but Carla's character, Verna, is an anagram for Raven. 😉
That "Once upon a midnight dreary" line got me so hype when the trailer aired for this show!

You guys aren’t done with the Flanniverse- The Haunting of Bly Manor is another GREAT show- he also has directed Hush, Gerald’s Game, Oculus, and Doctor Sleep.

I tear up like a baby every single dang time I see the Lenore scene. Nearly nothing else does that to me.

If they had incorporated scenes of who the child would of been without the money it might of made their deaths more impactful.

The dialogue in this show is soooo top tier and then you have Poe weaved into it . One of my favorite Flan Shows . So powerful and so fucking raw and real . Also the Trump line about Time square ? We already know what it is . So glad y’all enjoyed it

I had fully deluded myself into 'oh Morrie probably had an affair and Lenore isn't actually Freddie's daughter, she's not an Usher'. Well...
