Midnight Mass is one of the best TV shows I have seen in a long time.
The show is basically religious "horror". At first, a scoffed at the idea, because most movies based on this subject matter tend to be unoriginal, boring, and moralizing.
Midnight Mass is none of these things.
First of all, it explores religion, predominantly Christianity and Islam to a lesser extent, in such a fascinating and compelling way. I truly felt like I understood religion more after watching this.
Second, the creators do something incredibly fascinating with the concept of "Angels"
! They basically depict an ancient vampire like an angel, according to the main character
The show also has really fascinating and eye opening conversations regarding a tonne of things like addiction, death, racism. And at no point was it ever boring or did it feel like it was moralizing.
If you are religious at all. I think you will absolutely love this show. It does some interesting things with citing and interpreting scripture.
If you are not, I think you will also love this show, you just won't appreciate some of the more nuanced points being made about religion.
Please guys, watch this show so I can have somewhere to discuss it.
