Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Occasional missteps aside, Flanagan’s reverence for the literature from which his work derives keeps this Pike tribute intriguing throughout. The performances are uniformly excellent. ... No amount of screen presence can detract from the narrative being an overstuffed mess in need of a purge. ... While The Midnight Club isn’t lazy, simply acknowledging a reliance on well-worn tropes isn’t the same as subverting them.

Season 1 Review:
It’s easy to imagine some viewers taking to how much time it gives to the whimsy of these characters, and without the series abusing the heartstrings usually laid bare when presenting warming, curious fictional beings who are terminally ill. But as it unfolds so erratically, the series leaves more to be desired, despite giving so much—at the least, it needs some special organization.

Season 1 Review:
Bland and unfocused. ... Lovable as they are, and despite solid performances from the young cast, these characters are mostly one-dimensional. ... This premise could have played to his strengths, if only he hadn’t been too distracted by gimmicky plot elements to refine his story lines and too reverent of his ailing characters to plumb their darkest depths.
