Sermons de minuit

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.

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.

Really liked how the story is built up, slow burn and carefully dosed details... meanwhile the characters are also developing.

I was happy to see familiar faces from Hill House and Bly Manor and Hamish Linklater was stellar in the role of the priest.

Flanagan did it again, added an interesting twist to the horror genre and an awful lot to think about - such as what happens to us when and after we die?

Looking forward to his future works.

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.

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!
