Midnight Mass is a masterclass; both in storytelling and directing. The best episode is yet to come, and it’s surprisingly profound.

Bev Keene- Played Leigh Craine (Steve’s Wife in Hill House), Dr. Gunning- Played Mrs. Dudley, Joe Collie- Played Mr. Dudley, The Judge at The Trial- Played Olivia Craine, Erin Greene- Played Theo Craine, and Ed Flynn- Played Hugh Craine - He likes to maintain the same cast, because he knows the can morph into new characters, and he knows that it works.

The actor who played the priest killed it in this. Just tows that line between between charismatic, and smarmy perfectly. Also the burgeoning crisis of faith and the doing evil unwittingly...interesting stuff. And Bev is just the banality of evil personified. Personally I probably liked Hill House better...but this one hit hard on a different level. In a way that's hard to explain. Thanks for doing this show.

[@Shaara1]

Is the priest played by an actor? Difficult to listen to him. He sounds like someone reading the phone book on a monotone voice.

[@ct6852]

@@Shaara1 When he's in the confessional he does sound pretty weird. Not sure who he's talking to in there.

[@TheDragonsRose]

@@Shaara1 He's definitely an actor, he's been in a few other things. His role is very specific in how he portrays his personality so the monotone is the priest trying to pretend to be someone and going through the motions. It's part of the plot.

I've only seen this show once but loved every bit of it. I couldn't watch it again so soon because how much it made me feel, can't put it into description but I'm not ready to delve back into the same emotions again. Will rewatch in a year or two.

[@pavanmaddini]

​@@SpookyBibi24 which one? just curious..

[@KammyWalks]

How this series and the performance by Himash Linklater got overlooked during award season still boggles my mind. This is one of the most enlightening series I've ever seen and even though I figured some key things out early, the way the story unfolded was beyond comparison.

[@Justwalks]

I just love that this is Mikes work. No one else wrote this, it's just him writing this based on events and such from his own life.

[@ct6852]

@@throughthebookingglass4190 That's cool. Yeah Flannagan is about as close to the Stephen King vibe as anyone else I've ever seen. Was kind of surprised Doctor Sleep film kept so close to the aesthetic of the Kubrick film, though. Thought they might scrap that entirely.

[@throughthebookingglass4190]

@@ct6852 me too! i think that they were trying to appease the die hard kubrick fans and also appease king. bc even though king is infamously not a fan of kubrick’s adaptation, a LOT of people really were. i think if they’d ignored the kubrick vibe entirely, people would’ve been upset. i think flanagan found a good balance.

[@lecciciapires2166]

Fun fact: This director made the movie Hush, with Kate Siegel as the main character and Samantha Sloyan is also there, and they talk about Midnight Mass! All the way back in 2016, it was a book that the main character wrote!

the Midnight Mass book also appears in Gerald's Game - it's on the shelf above Jessie's (Carla Gugino's) bed and she throws it at a stray dog

Y'all are in for a ride with this one. Personally I consider it one of the best series I've ever watched, and Hamish Linklaiter (who plays Father Paul) gives an incredible performance.

[@83gemm]

He stands out in a cast of amazing performances. Annarah Cymone who plays Leeza also just slays it.

[@JohnBogna]

@@83gemm yes! She's incredible.

[@thirteen9799]

The exploration of faith, life and death and addiction here is flanagan's most personal, incredibly different to, yet still holding on to the poignant dramatic monologues and the use of horror as a tool to flesh out characters which make the haunting series so perfect. mike's major stephen king influence really screams in this as he shows us once again the scope of horror as a genre. placing characters in these situations and in the setting of fear as a storyteller brings out truths to them that no other facet of human emotion could reveal which is just absolutely gorgeous and traumatising and cathartic to consume as the audience. no hidden ghosts hear just a primal horror. religion is freaking scary:)) beverly keane is probably the most terrifying villain in forever and we all probably have one of her in our circles. would love for you take a look at more flanagan and horror that clicks into this side, loving these reactions!!

[@ct6852]

Yeah it's definitely less mysterious. Made for tighter episodes. Cut out some of the fluff.

[@the_nikster1]

you guys might have missed this but Riley's dad has also been affected as when they were on the boat, his back wasn't hurting when he went to lift the trap. to echo Oak's sentiment: out of all of Flanagan's series, Midnight Mass is my absolute favorite. I'm so excited to see you guys react to the rest of the series because it just gets even more insane from here.

[@thewarlocke5303]

Was coming here to say this. It was a little more subtle and could have easily been overlooked, but the dad was clearly more spry than he was before.

[@thaispublio7879]

Answering the question 'passing and the doors open', HELL NO! I live in Brazil, I grew up with urban legends of cars pulling up and taking you in, I of course wouldn't go investing sounds or doors opening in a creep house in the middle of the night!! When I walk somewhere late at night, I practically spree! If I hear a sound, walk faster, look behind, and if you see something, like a shadow, run! Scarier than something lurking in the dark is 2 persons on a motorcycle coming in your direction.

[@Rocco1332]

Can't wait for you guys to watch all of this. While I think Hill House is more brilliantly written, I love this show. The way they're able to weave the story with actual teachings...so good. Sloyan plays Bev so well, you can't help hate her and I can't help but see her as Bev in other roles. Also there is a 4th series called Midnight Club. It's really fun but didn't catch me the way the others did.

[@Rubinsmom]

That's NOT the mom from the Brady Bunch, Florence Henderson passed away some time ago. That IS, however, Elliott from ET playing the dad.

[@Jitterzz]

I think this show is one of the best explained. It’s not about hiding big reveals from you, it’s more about having those ingredients simmer to create a banquet. You know what the ingredients are, but that’s okay because you just get to enjoy the meal, rather than having strange flavors jump out at you that you weren’t expecting. The writing, camera work, and acting take center stage, and it’s much like you all noted where the supernatural material is primarily happening in the background. Not one thing overshadows another, it really does feel like Flanagan’s best work.

[@elleblank8916]

Oh, I'm so excited you are all reacting to this series! Good news for a Monday morning.

[@corinnevanessa22]

Someone has probably mentioned it but the actress playing Mildred Gunning (old woman with dementia) was also in The Haunting Of Bly Manor. She played Flora and Peters mother, Charlotte Wingrave 👍🏻 The actress is called Alex Essoe xx 💋

[@trevorsmith572]

Idk if people really picked up on it but when the mom mentions pruitts mental state she also refers to it as “scattered” just like Mr. Dudley did in haunting of hill house when talking about his wife working in the house at night.

The Mayor used to play Sam Anders in the reboot of Battlestar Galactica an amazing sci-fi space opera from the early 2000’s.

[@liamboyd9682]

I don't even know where to start. I love the fact that you guys are reacting to this show. In my opinion this is the best Flanagan show so far even though it is not scary in the way that the other two are. It is much different type of horror but I think that it makes you think even more than the others. Having been raised Catholic so much of this show was familiar and probably helped in thinking through the mysteries in the story. Your reactions and discussions after the fact are always a blast the way that you guys delve into the meaning and importance of what the story writers are trying to say is always nice to follow along with and see how your opinions and interpretations differ from my own. I can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of this amazing series. Edit: The conversations between Riley and Father Paul only get better from here and are one of the highlights of the show.

[@NatisWorld2903]

I think it makes you think more because you have that personal connection. That's how a lot of people feel when they consider The Midnight Mass their favorite. I thought it was great, but not as great as Hill House or Bly. Those two made me think more personally.

[@ashlynbuchanan993]

While Hill House and Bly are absolutely iconic, this is by far my favorite series from Mike--I can rewatch it over and over and it never gets old!

you might've missed it but on the boat scene when riley says, "dad, your back!" but the dad says he's good, in the same way leeza's healed and the mom. also the monsignor did say that the mass would just consist of him and leeza that's why it was so empty.

[@catem3102]

Yep, this one and Hill House are my favourites. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to this. Nothing beats that Hill House jump scare (will we ever forget it, lol?) But this has charms of its own.

[@artistimd2497]

First thing came to my mind when i started watching this show is (Aswang). A popular Asian/Filipino folklore that every Filipino has heard from their parents and a lot of villagers believe to be true. A Shape shifting human/vampire that turns into a demon with wings at Midnight and sucks blood out of its victims. It dies in the sun and does not like garlic or salt. The events pretty much seem like the folk Filipino stories, So this show basically was an ASWANG themed to me.

[@jlerrickson]

I love a TV series that feels like an adaptation from a play, especially if it has something to say. Flanagan chooses the moments well where his characters voice their (his) ideas, provocations and sometimes politics, while keeping the tone intensely personal and authentic. Btw that color grade in coordination with the music score is genius tone setting.

[@brendonwood3609]

Oh hell yeah. I went into this totally blind. Was bored as hell for a while, then it turned into one of my favorite projects that Flannigan has ever put out there. Completely understand how this was Flannigan's most personal piece to date. So many lines of dialogue stayed with me weeks and even months after watching this.

Excited for you guys to see more and hear what you think about it.

[@AllieKitaguchi]

Oh I'm SO excited y'all are watching this! I found your channel through your Hill House series and I was hoping you'd eventually make your way to this one! Some notes for this show: This isn't technically part of the "Haunting Of" saga, so you don't need to look for hidden ghosts--there aren't any. This show is a lot less horror and a lot more psychological horror. Also, a fun fact: Mike Flanagan signed on to do Hill House with netflix, and they wanted him to do Bly Manor, and he agreed to do it only if they allowed him to make Midnight Mass, because this is his passion project. Mike is a recovering alcoholic and grew up as an altar boy in the Catholic Church, of which he now carries immense catholic guilt and trauma. This show was his way to cope with what he went through as a child, which led him to drinking. Also Oak, don't feel too bad: I've never hated a character the way I hate Bev Keane, and concurrently, I think Hamish Linklater deserved an Emmy for his portrayal of Father Paul--what an outstanding and charismatic character! Here's all the actors who reappear from Hill House & Bly: - Carla Gugino (Olivia Crain / The Narrator) - The Judge - Rahul Kohli (Owen) - Sheriff Hassan - Samantha Sloyan (Steve's wife) - Bev Keane - Annabeth Gish (Mrs Dudley) - Dr. Sarah Gunning - Kate Siegel (Theo / Viola) - Erin Greene - Alex Essoe (Perdita) - Mildred Gunning - Henry Thomas (Hugh / Henry) - Ed Flynn - Robert Longstreet (Mr. Dudley) - Joe Collie

Bev is from Hill House and played Steven’s wife, the doctor played the house keeper in Hill House as the guy in the jail cell played the housekeepers husband in Hill House.Also, besides Leeza and Riley’s mom, there is Riley’s dad, when he was on the boat, Riley was worried about his dad’s back, but the dad said it was ok.

Dude the Brady Bunch was on in the 70s and that actress was probably in her 30s back then. Mrs. Brady would be in her 80s at this time--it ain't her. I never thought I'd think or say it, but I think this series is even better than Hill House. I guess Mike worked on this script for like 10 years, and it shows. The actor who plays the priest does such an amazing job. I've only ever seen him in the TV show The Newsroom and the movie The Big Short. Flannagan is set to do I think two more series, one of which is based on A Turn of the Screw, and I think there may be yet another adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower directed by him, I would assume in show or limited series form. This guy has done so much to reinvigorate, reinvent and raise the level of quality for horror and mystery/thriller, I'm looking forward to anything he does in the future. Glad you guys are watching this one, and so soon after Bly Manor. Oh yeah and I don't think there's meant to be any "hidden" background easter egg creatures or ghosts in this one, it's just pretty much straight-forward.

[@ct6852]

I think he was referring to the Brady movies from the 90's. The show based on Turn of the Screw was The Haunting of Bly Manor. I think it was released two or three years ago. This fall he has one coming out on The Fall of the House of Usher.

This is one of my all-time favorite live action series. I can't really say anything about it at this point without spoiling, but I'll just say that it's going to be a great ride!

I would NEVER get into a dark place to investigate! Sometimes I turn off the lights and run like my life depends on it 😂😂😂 However being "stupid" is a prerequisite for a thriller/horror plot

So glad you’re doing this show. It’s my favorite limited series of all time.

Midnight Mass is such a complex and mignificent exploration of religion and religious fanatism, I am so excited!!

hell yes!!! so jazzed you guys are reacting to this. i feel like it’s a bit underrated (at least it doesn’t get as much hype as the the haunting anthology) but it’s brilliant. it’s the one mike flanagan series that’s his completely original work. i’m pretty sure he’s said it’s his favorite. kate siegel’s performance in this series is a favorite of mine. i’m glad you’re watching this one after some of his other works because it is very distinctly flanagan (he really dives feet first into those monologues)
