A surprisingly assured supernatural saga with at least a little something for everyone, plus non-stop eye candy for one and all. Read full review

Like “True Blood,” the cheese factor is high here, but that’s what made the HBO series so fun. Read full review

It's too loud and dumb to be really called good, but any fan of vampires, were-tigers or gaseously bloated corpses is going to have a fine time with it. Read full review

Josh Bell

Jul 20, 2017

Star Francois Arnaud, who plays psychic bad boy Manfred (everyone on the show has a silly name), is bland and affectless, and even a supporting cast that also includes an angel, a witch and some sort of international assassin can’t liven up the hodge-podge of elements from better supernatural dramas (including True Blood).

Mostly the show dutifully doles out a lot of the special effects viewers expect from a supernatural series. But it’s all noise and explosions of light with scant attention to character development or relationship building (beyond the one obvious romance), something “True Blood” got right early on.

It’s the tame version of something you grew tired of on HBO years ago. And that’s putting it politely. There’s no energy here--sexual, supernatural, mystery. It’s just remarkably flat despite a talented cast doing everything in their power to make it interesting. Read full review

Soullessly adapted from the Charlaine Harris novels, this toothless horror is True Blood lite. [21/28 July 2017, p.110]

This series manages to expand on the trilogy of books on which it is based in a really effective way. I enjoyed this although my husband is bugged that they did not simply adapt the books before going off into new things. I am enjoying it immensely.

Best Supernatural show since.. Supernatural! This show is way better than most horror/supernatural shows on television and it's only aired two episodes. It's basically a d20horrorrpg / worldofdarkness game as a tv show. What's not to love? Great actors, fresh faces, interesting charactersBest Supernatural show since.. Supernatural! This show is way better than most horror/supernatural shows on television and it's only aired two episodes. It's basically a d20horrorrpg / worldofdarkness game as a tv show. What's not to love? Great actors, fresh faces, interesting characters that break the mold of typical archetypes, some interesting couples (a cloak/dagger vampire/hitgirl couple, a gay angel and his boyfriend, a psychic dude and a waitress), and exciting action with A level special effects (looks better than anything on agents of shield for sure).… Expand

I find this show to be quite interesting. The first episode I watched wondering to myself "why am I watching this" but now it has caught my attention and I have to see what is going to happen on each weekly episode. I guess I would have to say it keeps me coming back each week. This isI find this show to be quite interesting. The first episode I watched wondering to myself "why am I watching this" but now it has caught my attention and I have to see what is going to happen on each weekly episode. I guess I would have to say it keeps me coming back each week. This is the type of show where you really don't have to think much which is sometimes a good things. Just sit and watch. I wasn't even aware there was a book about it until reading other reviews.… Expand

Very good start, quite funny actually. But, at the end of episode 2, when it turns into another "the Armageddon is near and the devil wants to invade again", I was bored.

Sometimes "bad" is so cringe-worthy that it makes something fun to watch. Midnight TX takes bad to a level that makes it neither fun to watch in a mocking way nor "passable" bad to watch if nothing else is on. Watching this is what real Hell must be like. Looks cheaply made and lazy soSometimes "bad" is so cringe-worthy that it makes something fun to watch.

Looks cheaply made and lazy so why did anyone even bother making this. The snarky talking cat on Sabrina The Teenage Witch was more fun to watch.… Expand
