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.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Midnight Mass" was a terrific series about life, death, love, and loss. Sounds epic yet on the surface this show was about people on a island trapped in some things that goes beyond usual. I will spoil nothing, but the whole concept and plot is highly religious. Yet as not being much religious person myself i would like to say that its a highly rewording experience to watch this show - its way more then it looks like.

Directing by Mike Flanagan of which I'm a fan was amazing - he is definitely my favorite director when it comes to horror genre. Yet "Midnight Mass" is not a horror show. Its starts as a drama, then it moves to a mystery and by the end when everything was reveled i was fascinated by it for its idea, concept and plot. Acting was amazing by whole cast , but exceptions were Samantha Sloyan and Hamish Linklater - they were both out of this world good, some award must by won here. Also it was a dialog heavy show - there a lot of monologs were characters are just speaking for like 10 minutes straight. Just to be warned.

Overall, without spoiling it much, i can say that "Midnight Mass" is not a horror series. Its a bit of a mystery drama and at its core it is a series about fate and what would happen if any of us would get a second chance. And what a "miracle" can do to a one person who truly was a believer whole his life and whole his life he was working for god but saw no consequences for doing good.

The ending of a show was amazing and kept me thinking about the whole thing i saw and heard. Also there is a speech between characters about what happens after death - its one of the best dialogs and acting i saw in years.

And if you think more deeply - at its core "Midnight Mass" is a masterpiece which will probably won't be understood by many.

Unlike the trash that Netflix mostly produces this was a surprise. There wasn't much hype before it's release and I purposefully didn't read too much about it. The underlying topic is familiar but the way it has been told here was new. More of this please Netflix.

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.

Though Midnight Mass has Christian and biblical aspects, it's also crazy and amazing. As an atheist, I tend to stay away from most religious based shows/movies that promote religious dogma, however, this show does none of that! Mike Flanagan did it again, showing his brilliant imagination and putting it down on paper. The cast was fantastic as well!
