I do like the eight episode limited series format though. It’s conclusive, but more immersive than a movie. In some ways it’s the best of both worlds.

Yeah that wasn't the bad part. It was the poor writing and stiff acting.

For some, maybe. I personally think that The Fall of The House of Usher was the best thing Netflix has made, hands down. I’m also a fan of Edgar Allan Poe though.

Oh hell yeah! Haven’t thought about that album in a long time. Absolutely my favorite album from APP. Definitely going to give it another listen today. Thanks for the memories!

No, I'd say the writing was very linked to the 8. There is just too much content for 8 episodes.

They could have easily improved the writing without changing the episode structure, like the bad way exposition was delivered. Why do you think it's "very linked"?
