    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.

I wasn't even aware there was a book about it until reading other reviews.… Expand

    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 characters that break the mold of typical archetypes, some interesting couples (a cloak/dagger vampire/hitgirlBest Supernatural show since.. Supernatural!

    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

    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.
