I had to scroll down way too far to find a comment about how FUCKING amazing Hamish Linklater was as Father Paul. When he speaks (especially towards the end when he is most conflicted) he stammers, trying to find the right words for the situation. Countered with how valiantly, and strongly he speaks when on the pulpit really tell us a lot about his character without beating us over the head with what his character is like. He put on a performance that I won't forget for a long time.

Absolutely agree. This series said so many things I never thought would be said on camera. The one theme they neglected to mention in this review was addiction- and Hamish Linklater’s attempts to justify his “addiction” and bring others into the fold of his addiction…. Brilliantly portrayed and I can’t imagine anyone else in this role. I’d only seen HL in a minor role in The Big Short, and I’m baffled by his control of this character and he plays it just so effortlessly, which of course comes from a lot of work and dedication.

I can’t believe I waited this long to see Midnight Mass. I’m blown away. The story was amazing on many levels, and the acting was something else. Everybody was great, but Hamish Linklater?…holy crap, he did a phenomenal job! One more thing, the limited series format has to be the best medium for storytelling. It gives ample time to establish characters. But it also has an established, well-thought-out screenplay…as opposed to open-ended series, where the creators attempt to drag out the story indefinitely, depending how much money it makes. Anyway, fricken amazing series. You could recommend this to an avid horror fan, or just anyone who appreciates good storytelling/acting.

God, this made me feel a thousand times better. I think Midnight Mass is genuinely one of the greatest pieces of modern cinema to date.

I remember coming out of the show (the first time), thinking that it was one of the most thought provoking and well-executed takes on modern religion and religious trauma, and I was shocked to see that 90% of the commentary was centered around the monologues. I know some of them are long, but they're so well performed and they mean so much in terms of the greater story that they're vital and necessary to make this story work. I honestly don't understand how people would wish they were shorter or more succinct.

I just finished the show this morning, having known absolutely nothing about the show going in other than the creator's other works, and I'll admit that even I was kind of taken aback by all the monologuing. I very much enjoy slow, character-focused stories; but knowing only that this was by the creator of Hill House and Doctor Sleep, I definitely wasn't expecting how slow and thematic the show actually was. It was a good show, but I think Netflix could have marketed it far better to prepare audiences for what they were actually getting into.

It's telling to me the only actor that was able make those monologues work was Hamish Linklater, a theater actor. It's skill, similar to singing a song with professtional phrasing and control. The other actors are good actors but they obviously haven't had as much practice doing monologues as Hamish has had in his career (not to mention, his mother is a famous voice practitioner). Also, I found the "what happens when we die" monologues to be very freshman Philosophy class. Both of their concepts of death aren't uncommon, nor were they explained in a particularly interesting way imo. Overall I liked it but I think it could have been an episode or two shorter.

@@Yoshimitsu4prez Yeah, but the show's just not for everyone. There are people that love the Wire and people that think "it's boring." I think the groups are pretty similar with this show. I think there's quite the overlap and I'm pretty sure that the group that thinks The Wire is boring and thinks Midnight Mass is boring is more likely to genuinely enjoy something like the Fast and the Furious. It's probably an attention and/or intelligence thing (and that's perfectly fine). But the show is not a mainstream appeal type of thing. Which is a shame, cause it's something special and emotional.

One thing I'd like to add: The trailer didn't give it away! I'm so thankful for that. Great miniseries with nothing spoiled beforehand.

Did they get a camera rail/robot, or did they just force Rich Evans to stand there and do that for the entire discussion?

Great, i didn't notice and now i can't stop getting distracted by the camera movement. Thanks comments.

I watched an interview with the guy that played the sheriff. He was sitting in a Doom Eternal chair and had a display of Star Wars™️ figures. Not what I was expecting but he seemed like a pretty cool guy.

He pops up in a lot of funhaus (a gaming channel) videos and he’s hilarious! He’s also the best part of Izombie

Thank you for reviewing this and getting it on my radar. Brilliant series, great characters played by wonderful actors given enough time to make you believe and care about them.
