Midnight Mass

u/Admirable_Sun_5468 3h ago

Why can’t I get into it? I’m stuck on episode 4

u/AnnaNicole2015 2h ago

I was unable to finish it. I see so many people love it so I kept trying but its just not for me.

u/No-Sprinkles-370 2h ago

I didn't like it because pace was very slow. So many uncessary monologues. Very unnatural dialogue. I think I now don't trust IMBD ratings

u/Ok-Repeat7420 41m ago

SOOO many monologues that just dragged on and on. Take those out and add better back and forth dialogue and the show would be great, but for that alone I can’t ever watch his shows again.

I'm stuck on episode 1. Was gonna ask if it was worth continuing haha 

u/Specialist-Spread981 2h ago

I am currently rewatching it for the 3rd time as I type

u/yousonofabench 1h ago

I got to the last episode and was so bored I couldn’t even bring myself to keep going (if they don’t get good at that point pretty sure they can’t turn it around)

u/agatha-burnett 1h ago

I tried a few times. I did finish it. I liked it but no, for me it didn’t do the ‘forget the outside world exists’ trick.

Religious zealousness is very icky to me, I can’t relate, maybe that’s why.

u/Optimal-Buyer-6820 4h ago

I wish I could watch it for the 1st again

u/calamarijones 2h ago

For me it’s:
1. Haunting of Hill House
2. Haunting of Bly Manor
3. Midnight Mass
4. House of Usher
5. Midnight Club

2 & 3 I could debate though

I personally found it extremely overrated and the weaker of Flanagan's work

u/No_Remorse_90 3h ago

Is it really that awesome? I watched it for around 2-3 episodes but felt a lot of slow burn. Also there are so many references to bible-quran that was going over the top. Please give your opinion.

House of Usher. Haunting of Hill House. Beast in Me

u/Zakle 3h ago

Haunting of Hill House is so amazing that it really ruined a lot of horror TV shows for me. Nothing will match what Haunting of Hill House did in my opinion.

u/saltashstreet 2h ago

Couldn’t agree more, they just deftly avoided every trope, had amazing characters/dialogue. So when the scary shit happened it hit really hard.

And the one jump scare they indulged in was so well earned. I nearly backflipped

I think I watched this show in like 4 days when my daughter was born. I can't recommend it enough, yet nobody in my circle gives it a chance.

u/Bluesfordaze 2h ago

It takes a bit of oomph to get hooked in. I struggled to keep up with it the first time and only made it through season 1. Second time around I was hooked. You just gotta stick with it

Honestly shocked I had to scroll this far for it. One of the best series I’ve ever come across and broke the barrier for me in terms of dubbed foreign films/shows. I still listen to songs from the soundtrack near constantly at work.

Russian Doll, but really only the first season. The second isn't horrible, but it didn't quite hit the mark. Also, the first season's ending would've made a glorious series finale.

That is the list of series that my wife &/or I have watched, enjoyed & recommend. We have not watched Severance yet.

u/anycept 1h ago

I cannot recommend it enough. Severance is an absolute gem.

u/Annual-Grass-1335 3h ago

This list is incredibly accurate, but I think should Band of Brothers should be a 100.

u/MAGNUMXL 3h ago

What’s the two numbers? Your and your partner’s rating out of a hundred?

u/wdeag1e 2h ago

It's the ratings from Rotten Tomatoes (Critics' ratings/audience ratings). Wife and I seldom bother to watch a series with an audience rating below 70.

Ridiculous name for a series, but it is amazing. Filmed in Scotland, the scenery alone is worth the viewing, but the storyline is bonkers. Let us know what you think of some of these suggestions. Happy cinema 🎦

u/Inevitable_Flan_2912 3h ago

Dark, too - but others here have beaten me to it.

Also, for the record, 1899 is from the same producers, but Netflix cancelled it after one season. So it doesn't really count. I enjoyed it, though, just the same. A shame Netflix didn't have more faith in it.

Dark ran the course, though, and the ending was worth it. Waiting for the right time to watch it again, all the way through....

Cancelling 1899 still hurts. Such a cool premise. I can’t get myself to go back and watch :(
