Have enough of us seen the series now that we can talk (and rave) about Gugino’s range—specifically that episode where she plays a murderous primate?
has played a ghost, a mother on the verge of a breakdown, a broken-hearted narrator, and a wife handcuffed to a bed. Thanks to, she can, among other things, add a bartender, a woman with a medical crisis, a sex worker, a security guard, death, a raven, and a chimpanzee to the list.
Rather than simply adapting one Poe story into a series that ends up being a thinly veiled depiction of the, Flanagan rolls the dice on the complete works of the Gothic writer and combines elements from the creepy collection of short stories and poems. As Verna , Gugino plays the ultimate puppet master, orchestrating the titular collapse of the Usher family.
Camille attempts to uncover her sister Victoire’s disturbing and illegal work on apes at a secure facility. The soon-to-be next victim treats Verna like shit because of her pricey shoes and finds her nothing more than a petty inconvenience. In response, Gugino’s voice deepens and becomes more laconic, emphasizing her unbothered reaction to Camille’s threats of getting her fired. She might as well have a cigarette dangling from her mouth.
It also helps that Gugino leans all the way into the ape persona while her scene partner ultimately says “fuck it” to her fate. It doesn’t get much weirder than this, and Gugino embodies the brutal menace and overall distress experienced by the test subjects.Verna is one of several characters that love to monologue, and in a cast of heavyweights , Gugino savors every line of dialogue with enough relish to make me briefly forget the whole mimicking an ape thing—even while it is occurring.
