Midnight Mass (2021)
6/10
A bit of a bloody mess
17 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I mean the plot, really, but there is no shortage of blood. Looking at other reviews this is really a "marmite" of a show. Seems like you either love it or hate it. I'm somewhere in the middle.

I agree with those who complained about the dreary dialogues, or in some cases monologues. Many of the leading characters have at least a few of them. Absolutely tiresome and unnecessary.

The plot itself was very slow to take shape. By about E5 it was starting to become clearer. I wanted to watch to the end to see if it all got resolved. It didn't, and fizzled out in a most unsatisfactory way when most of the cast fizzled out literally.

So in the end, a rather generous 6. It was a reasonable idea but laboriously executed. On the other hand I respect the fact that it was compulsive enough to hold my attention for 7 hours.
