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.

Good one Chip!

The priest was probably one of the best actors I've seen in a TV show in awhile, and I loved how his monologues went from enigmatic, to silly and old, and finally reaching this level of near desperation. I really loved this show, and the speeches were amazing.

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.

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.

I had the same feelings about the show as Mike did. I didn't know what I was getting into. Just pressed play and it completely grabbed me. The horror is incredibly effective in the show as well cause I kept forgetting what type of show I was watching since I was just getting pulled in by the characters, so when the creepy shit starts it really works and affects you. Best thing I've seen in a loooong time. Haunting stuff.

RLM has somehow mastered the art of engrossing me into watching them talk about how engrossed they were in watching other people talk.

Delighted you were both delighted with Midnight Mass! I understand the reluctance to spoil anything, to encourage others to watch it, but I would also very very much enjoy a deep delve into the meat of the show, as there is indeed so much meat there.

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. It's so well shot, acted, written, and constructed that it's a masterpiece. 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.

It was masterfully done. When the darker stuff starts it really gets you. I agree with Mike. It's one of the best things I've ever seen. Such a great choice to do it in 7 eps and done.

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.

I watched Midnight Mass with no context, just popped up on Netflix. Binge watched it, was so engaged that I can say I didn't even notice the 'monologues'. I was so focused on their tales that the length of time the characters talked made no negative bearing on my viewing experience at all. The scene where they discuss their theories on death was beautiful and well done.

"It was on the same road outside the city that Monsignor Pruitt, bewildered and confused, wandered from his tour group for the last time. They must not have noticed he went missing. First his failing mind didn't help him, and out he wandered, into that desert." Reminded me of Mr. Plinkett!
