Midnight, Texas

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.

Over my years or television watching I have followed many summer shows. Though these shows have varied widely from comedies to dramas to reality shows there is one thing that every single one of them has had in common. None of them has ever lasted past a single season.

I am hoping that Midnight, Texas will end up being the show that will break that unfortunate trend. This is a good, solid show that is highly entertaining with great characters and a fun premise. I will keep logging on to the old information super-highway in the hope of seeing the glorious headline "Midnight, Texas renewed for Season 2." Fingers crossed!

Comparing this series to others on Netflix is really not fair. This one is unique in it's subject matter. Each character is totally different from the rest. I found that I wanted to watch more so am waiting for the next episode. No overacting.....one character not trying to out do the others. This is a new concept on network TV. I don't believe this particular subject matter has been attempted before. Let's give it a chance!

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.
