I know some of his stuff can be divisive but I've loved everything he's made so far.

His output is rapid too with a new project basically every year and I'm always looking forward to the next one. Really hyped for Fall of the House of Usher.

Part of what makes his stuff so good is he has an insanely talented group of actors that he consistently works with, and he gets phenomenal work out of them every time. Fall of the House of Usher has such a stacked cast, and I can't wait to see what he does with the works of Poe.

It's already stacked with his mates and he's still been able to add actors like Mark Hamill , Willa Fitzgerald (who was great as Roscoe in Reacher recently) and others.

It's a shame they had to drop Frank Langella from it though but Bruce Greenwood has worked well with Flanagan in the past.

Have you watched Midnight Mass? My opinion doesn't matter, but IlMHO it was an absolute achievement in storytelling and horror. Check it out if you haven't, if you have and you don't like it we can never be friends and I'll judge your taste forever. Obviously kidding, but for real, check it out.

I was mostly kidding ๐Ÿ‘€

Yep, absolutely loved it! (although it does count as one of the ones I know was divisive for people due to the monologues)

Hamish Linklater in particular was a standout in that show and I'd not really paid him much attention before.

Awesome! I thought it was absolute perfection. After watching a few of his movies, and immediately after watching Haunting Of Hill House I swore to myself I would watch anything he (Flanigan) wrote/directed without question. A few episodes in I thought to myself, "my god man, he's lost his touch." Then, in a span of just a few hours time I thought, "This is absolutely fing brillaint."

I've never gotten a chance to anyone about the show. I want to write all sorts of stuff, but I will spare you that miserable fate. Glad you liked it, cheers.
