    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 so why did anyone even bother making this.

    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.

    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 is the type of show where you really don't have to think much which is sometimes a good things.

    A-W-F-U-L!!!! Which is totally disappointing as I was really looking forward to this series. Really Bad Acting. Bad plot (basically TwinPeaks but with vampires, ghosts, and witches). .Couldnt even get thru pilot episode. (Did I mention the bad acting? LoL.). Bad dialogue. Steer clear. Glad this episode was free on my streaming service.

    P.s. Bad acting

    Best Supernatural show since.. Supernatural! This show is way better than most horror/supernatural shows on television and it's only aired two episodes.

    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.

    Really enjoying how the story is going so far. I have read the books and I have noticed the series is changing up a few details but thats what is making this fun to watch. If it were exactly as the book described then it'd be boring as I'd know what happens next. This keeps me intrigued as to how the story will change.

    Acting could be better but first episodes are always difficult with cast trying to act as though they've known each-other since forever but really having only met on the first few scenes. However it is early days and that can change dramatically. Take Supernatural for example; Jared and Jensen were cringe-worthy in the first few episodes but soon gelled to give us the brothers we know and love today. It's too early to judge character development and relationships just yet.

    Special effects are very impressive. The setting is a good match for the descriptions in the book (I've no idea if its accurate or not as I've never seen the actual town (if it even exists) personally so please forgive my ignorance here).

    All in all, a good start and an intriguing story line thus far. Looking forward to seeing more!    … Expand

    Another show that had a shot but really, really bad writing is going to sink this show it's like they forget what they wrote the week before ! First everyone in midnight hides their power then in another scene their is a bar full of supernatural monster drinking with regular people. Then we have a witch who has no power because she had them bound but somehow is still immortal.

Oh that's not all she still is able to teleport and jump thru a ceiling but remember she has no powers wtf... Also lets not forget we need to be P/C so lets add gay characters and they choose and angel not only is he gay he falls for a demon. Wait we are told demons can't love and have no thoughts but killing yet not this one all the others are bad but this one who as luck would have it is also gay. Sound stupid yet this is just a comment on the last 2 episodes if I went show by show I would need way more than 5000 characters sum up this is god awful no pun intended. Who knows one day they may write a show that tries to at least follow their own writing. Until then I would watch something else no wonder a couple of the actors left the show before the second season ended. My real number for this show is 0 but the lowest they let you go is 1...… Expand

    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.

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

    It will undoubtedly seem tame to staunch "True Blood" fans. But a few winks of humor and some good scares make Midnight, Texas more than you'd expect from a summer series on broadcast TV.
