Ranked List of Mike Flanagan Netflix Horror Shows Released; Filmmaker Moves to Amazon

"Haunting of Bly Manor" tops the Mike Flanagan horror series rankings following his departure to Amazon; "The Fall of the House of Usher" noted as his bloodiest, most perverse series yet.

Mike Flanagan, known for his successful partnership with Netflix, is moving onto Amazon. His collection of horror series on Netflix are considered contemporary classics, with 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' standing out as the top ranked.
'The Fall of the House of Usher', Flanagan's final collaboration with Netflix, represents one of his best works, noted for its level of gore and perversion. It is based on various stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe and offers a thinly veiled critique of the Sackler Family.
Despite the 'binge model' of releases on streaming platforms, 'The Fall of the House of Usher' is praised for returning to self-contained, episodic storytelling. This allows viewers to consume the series in manageable chunks without losing the overarching narrative.
Though renowned for emotionally charged horror, 'The Fall of the House of Usher' offers a different experience. The series is described as more wicked, dark, and funny, with the Usher family's gruesome comeuppance providing a sense of catharsis for audiences.
Rumors are circulating around Flanagan's next big move at Amazon, given his expressed interest in adapting Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' series and Amazon's ownership of the rights. Flanagan's plan involves creating five seasons of a TV show interspersed with two films, all following the order of the books.
