    A gigantic waste of time. This could easily have been a 200 minute running time Netflix movie. Feels specifically designed to draw everything out. Every 10 minutes a character breaks out into a long drawn-out dialogue about their backstory while all the other characters sit back and listen patiently

    If you can get past the wildly outrageous plot holes ("I don't even carry a gun" says the sheriff in episode 6 of 7 who has visibly carried a gun through the entire series and shoots it in the following episode), gruelingly drawn out monologues and exposition, atrocious acting (not sure how you're supposed to wordlessly "look concerned" for ten minutes at a time while other charactersIf you can get past the wildly outrageous plot holes ("I don't even carry a gun" says the sheriff in episode 6 of 7 who has visibly carried a gun through the entire series and shoots it in the following episode), gruelingly drawn out monologues and exposition, atrocious acting (not sure how you're supposed to wordlessly "look concerned" for ten minutes at a time while other characters explain their life story), on-the-nose moralizing, unbelievable setting and casting (a bunch of models living in shanties on a remote island), then you're gonna love this show.… Expand

    I have sat through 2 episodes and this show is exhausting and boring. The only interesting parts each episode take up 3 minutes of the narrative, which leaves 57 minutes of the most banal dialogue, uninteresting characters, and shaky camera work. Do I continue to watch? I really don't want to. It's so basic.

    Boring, boring, boring. I watched the first episode and halfway through the second (that's well over an hour, mind you), I was bored to death with barely anything happening At all. Except for the cats dying at the end of episode I. Maybe it gets better later, but I'm not willing to endure a lot of boringness to get there.

    It’s genuinely, thrillingly, unique and certain scenes and moments will live with you long after you’ve finished watching. One thing is for sure – Flanagan remains comfortably one of Netflix’s best assets.

    Midnight Mass goes further than tension or thrills, presenting a dense and somehow hopeful epic that leans into the existential terror of being alive.
