Midnight, Texas

Midnight is one of those shows that start slow with teasers. It's a nod and wink to the supernatural while also inter-splicing realistic possibilities. It's like a joke. A vampire, a witch, an angel, a wear beast and a hired killer walk into a diner. Except it doesn't have a punch line. Instead. It draws you in. Slowing unraveling each characters background until, you are invested In the towns scrappy bunch of characters. It's definitely worth the time. I intend to binge on all the episodes, thus far, this weekend. The marriage of the occult and Normalicy is intriguing and I'm interested to see where it goes.

As someone who loved True Blood and enjoys supernatural story lines, I was very excited for Midnight Texas to premiere. The first couple episodes were a little try-hard, but I stuck with it because I love the actors. By episode 4, I was officially hooked. It's not a heart pounding drama or thriller, but it's entertaining and the actors are starting to connect and get into their parts. I personally would love to see a second season, especially since first seasons for shows aren't always "mind- blowing"....but Midnight definitely has the potential to be the next True Blood or Supernatural.

I was a True Blood fan. Midnight Texas brings that type of unique mix of quirky characters and supernatural coolness. Angels, Demons, witches, a talking familiar, and a psychic make the little town of Midnight Texas a place you want to learn more about.

Reminds me a bit of Tim Burton's earlier work - a bit of Big Fish, Beetlejuice - some tricky figures and supernatural goings-on. I haven't read the books; perhaps the TV show can be best enjoyed by its own merits without the literary baggage. After just one episode, I'm excited to see more, and moreover, the actors all seem to have charisma and be provided with rich back stories. It's a little cheesy, but I'm all for some lightness mixed in with my vampires, angels, werewolves, witches, and psychic cuties.

Given that the show debuted on July 24, 2017, I am skeptical of the review, dated: 26 February 2017 | by Kai Breen.

Just saying...

Otherwise, the show seems to be setting itself up fine. Characters are interesting if not inaccurate to the novel.
