Midnight, Texas

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.

If you liked the first season of LOST GIRL, if you were a PUSHING DAISIES fan, or you a Browncoat who likes Urban Fantasy as well-- this show is for you. At it's core is a family of real characters, who after only 3 episodes, you feel like you've known them for months. It is a bit cheeky and the town feels lived-in. When these guys joke with each other and talk you feel like they all have truly known each other for years, possibly decades. It has vampires, hit-women, mediums, ghosts, a regular average-Jane waitress, a talking cat (with a thick accent!), a Wiccan with some serious powers, and more. I would recommend tuning in. It is a good show, and despite the subject matter, it really is fun.

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.

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.

I like this show - it is a hybrid of Haven and Being Human (the British version). It is about a group of supernatural misfits with different abilities and personalities that find a unique town. The town is geographically situated in such a way that the veil between the living and the dead is very thin. The characters have heart and they are interesting, often struggling with emotions and situations that humans often find themselves in. It moves a bit slowly, but is worth watching.
