Midnight Mass

This show is definitely not for everyone's taste - thus, some of these really bad reviews that ALMOST had me fooled, but I decided to give it a shot anyway, knowing Mike Flanagans marvelous previous work. This is a very deep, intelligent, mostly monologue based drama, and yes it is very slow - but that's exactly what gives this show it's depth and weight. It makes you think and it really leaves you speechles, if you actually understood. If you like an action packed, superficial mind-relief, this is not for you. If you like exploring human mind, depth, faith, etc. - you won't regret it. Weird, yet again, wrapped up in an epic way.

Not a horror fan, but I always appreciate thoughtful sci-fi which is how I'd classify this one. The story roped me in quickly and kept me gripped - at least through 6 & 3/4 of its seven episodes. Very good acting and writing with the exception of a few turns on the soapbox for a couple of the central actors hammering home key points.

One thing I found to be very clever and timely is the depiction of how "normal, everyday people" go way off the rails in the course of their religious beliefs, cultural influences and the effects of "group think". Sadly I was reminded of the current state of the world we live in.

While it could have been condensed, I wasn't bored at any point until the last 15 minutes or so which were unnecessarily heavy on the sap.

Yet another well filmed series by Mike Flanagan! Starts off quite mysterious, spooky, and intriguing characters around a wonderful town. Midnight Mass doesn't seem to have much horror in it yet amazing direction all around for sure Mike is always a master of his craft! I love the mini series more than I expected.

One might think when starting this limited series he will have the usual scares of ghosts n demons esp that Mike flanagan is a master in portraying horror onscreen just as Stephen King works his horror magic on paper and leaves u to ur imagination while reading.

This is horror to the soul and the absolute identification of each person's "inner demons" and "inner intentions" that count in living and in dying..Religion is a mighty tool that if put in the hands of the wrong ppl would most definitely reek havoc on the rest of mankind whichever the religion is.

Great show brewed onto 7 episodes with equal doses. Can't be shortened and can't be lengthened. Just the perfect dose.

I am generally not a fan of religion mixed in with my horror but this was extremely well written. Maybe more of a thought provoking somewhat disturbing drama than horror. It was definitely worth the time. I never ever want to watch it again though. In fact I don't think I want to hear any sermons or speeches for a long while. However, unlike a lot of reviews I have read on this site I feel that the sermons were justified in making the story more impactful.
