【Watch Taming A Sex Man Online】

The Watch Taming A Sex Man Onlinefirst episode of Mike Flanagan's sprawling new series The Fall of the House of Usherfeels a bit like an Edgar Allan Poe-inspired clown car: Just when you think you've met every member of the Usher family, another pops up to join the show.

Through various Poe-aligned episodes, not only do we encounter Fortunato Pharmaceuticals execs and twins Madeline and Roderick Usher (Mary McDonnell and Bruce Greenwood), we also meet Roderick's many children, their partners, and some key players in their orbit. As absorbing as it all is, it can be a bit hard to keep track of who's who right off the bat — especially with all those nicknames flying around!

Eliza Usher and William Longfellow

Madeline and Roderick's parents set the stage for their truly unhappy upbringing. On top of having two children with him, Eliza (Annabeth Gish) was also the personal secretary to Fortunato Pharmaceuticals CEO William Longfellow (Robert Longstreet). However, Longfellow never acknowledged Roderick or Madeline, and ultra-religious Eliza forbade them to go anywhere near his mansion. After all, we're talking about the House of Usher here, not the House of Longfellow.

The Mike Flanagan connection: Gish has appeared in Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, and Before I Wake. Longstreet has appeared in The Midnight Club, Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep, and The Haunting of Hill House.

Roderick Usher

As CEO of Fortunato Pharmaceuticals and patriarch of the Usher family, Roderick Usher is one of the most powerful men in the world. However, that power stems from Fortunato's incredibly profitable — and addictive — drug Ligodone. Does Roderick have any regrets about the pain and suffering his opioid has caused millions? Based on how he's calmly dodged every attempt to prosecute him, it doesn't seem like it. But does he have any other skeletons in his closet? Based on how his children keep mysteriously dying, it certainly seems like he does.

The Mike Flanagan connection: Greenwood has appeared in Doctor Sleepand Gerald's Game.

Madeline Usher (aka Mad)

Roderick's brilliant sister Madeline acts as COO of Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, where she has several passion projects of her own. Among them is her precious research on algorithms and artificial intelligence as a form of immortality. She's also vowed never to let a man have power over her, and that extends to Roderick. She's shrewder and far more cutthroat than her brother, with fewer personal connections to tie her down. But would she turn on her own family if it meant she'd come out on top?

The Mike Flanagan connection: This is McDonnell's first project with Flanagan.

Juno Usher

Juno (Ruth Codd) is Roderick's second wife. After a severe accident led to the loss of her leg, she became dependent on Ligodone. That addiction, as well as her and Roderick's significant age difference, has led the Usher children to shun her entirely. No wicked stepmother here, only ruthless stepchildren.

The Mike Flanagan connection: Codd has appeared in The Midnight Club.

Frederick Usher (aka Frauderick, Freddie, Dickwad, Sweaty Freddie)

The eldest of Roderick's legitimate children, Frederick (Henry Thomas) is the heir apparent to the Fortunato throne. However, he's more entitled than he is qualified for the job, and his siblings make sure he knows that. Frederick is married to former model Morella "Morrie" Usher (Crystal Balint). Her modeling and acting days may be over, but she's developed an enthusiasm for baking illusion cakes, making for the strangest Is It Cake? crossover in existence.

If she has her way, Tamerlane (Samantha Sloyan) will be the next Gwyneth Paltrow. She's a budding lifestyle guru on the cusp of launching her luxury Goop-esque brand, Goldbug. To do this, she's enlisted the help of her husband Bill T. Wilson (Matt Biedel), otherwise known as fitness influencer BillT. Nothing says "true love" quite like strategic family branding.

The Mike Flanagan connection: Sloyan has appeared in The Midnight Club, Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, and Hush.

Victorine Lafourcade (aka Vic)

Frederick and Tamerlane are Roderick's only children by way of his first marriage, so they refer to all his other children as "the bastards." Eldest among this group is Victorine Lafourcade (T'Nia Miller), who seeks her father's approval (and funding) for her cutting-edge medical research. She and her girlfriend, Dr. Allessandra Ruiz (Paola Núñez), have been testing a heart mesh with the potential to change modern medicine — and Victorine is willing to stop at nothing to get it approved, ethics be damned.

The Mike Flanagan connection: Miller has appeared in The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Napoleon Usher (aka Leo, Xbox Gatsby)

Roderick opens his doors to any of his children, legitimate or not. In doing so, he also asks them to present a promising venture he can fund. Napoleon "Leo" Usher's (Rahul Kohli) venture of choice is video games, and he's become a major player in that scene. He's also a hard-partying socialite to boot. However, his intense drug use has led to some tension with his partner, Julius (Daniel Chae Jun), and Julius' cat, Pluto.

The Mike Flanagan connection: Kohli has appeared in The Midnight Club, Midnight Mass, and The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Armed with a sharp tongue and a propensity for digging up dirt on her enemies, Camille L'Espanaye (Kate Siegel) heads up the Usher clan's PR. She's the expert on spinning any bad news about the oft-embattled family into something more palatable. It's a skill that has made her indispensable as the Ushers head into yet another federal investigation, this one led by the Ushers' regular adversary, attorney Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly).

Prospero "Perry" Usher (Sauriyan Sapkota) takes after Leo's love of partying, to the point that he's earned the nickname "Gucci Caligula" from Frederick.
