I don't think that's gaslighting, that's simply an argument and everyone should be able to convey their opinions in public forum. What I find distateful in that scene is how Bev doesn't let anyone else speak. Gaslighting is more personal in relationship setting which she also definitely does. The thing is, I think she believes she's doing the righteous thing all the time, it all stems from what I call religious panic. Extreme fear of going to hell, or be a bad person, it makes people unable to introspect and be honest about their mistakes. She's a pitiful delusional person.

That he’d convinced himself it was a godly act. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The show was great because in many ways, the demon was secondary. The character’s interpretations of the events, that was more the story than the events themselves.

I kept thinking "these people are amazing actors" except when Samantha was on screen. I didn't even think of the acting with her. She WAS that character. Never once did I see the acting involved. Wow!

Hamish Linklater deserves an award for his performance. He literally made the show. He is EXACTLY like how priests act in life. The way he always quotes the bible and honestly I loved how he became a protagonist at the end of the show. He throws his Priest collar away and says "Forgive me?" That was epic. What an actor! Edit: I would know as I talked to many priests when I was younger, trying to find my faith. This was before I became a "Mainline" Christian with various different beliefs, anyway, they all were like that. They would answer my questions with quotes or stories from the bible and use them to draw comparisons to my situations. They really do act like that.

Beverly took the cake for me. Oh my gosh I was praying to God that the director wouldn’t short change and denied me the liberty of watching Beverly burn to ashes. And what I love the most is the way in which the burns started from the face. When the singing stops and you see their faces burning off and the silence that follows afterwards, goosebumps chills

I never felt the desire to reach the screen and slap a character so hard but Beverly Keane made me feel that way. Samantha Sloyan was amazing, and she deserves an Emmy for this.

How ironic. I LITERALLY just finished watching the series and it was SO GOOD😩🤧!!! Hamish Linklater was absolutely amazing

Can we also give it up to the younger actors as well, especially the girl who played the paralyzed character. Damn she was phenomenal.

I watched it for Kate I adore her and then ended up feeling so deeply for Zach ... he was so intense that his every single smile was precious. And then towards the end I realised it was Hamish who intrigued me the most. It’s been 4 days since I watched it and It’s still very much on my mind. ♥️

Really freaky seeing the Monsignor and Bev acting all chill .. thats how good the actors were 😁

Hamish is so attractive

God Zach Gifford is so damn dreamy… he has a lucky lady

The person who played Bev literally become the personage to the point that it’s hard to recognize her in the interview as the same person… That’s pushing the limits…

Bev’s acting was amazing and totally on point, BUT the Priests and Riley’s monologues were my favorite parts of the series. They had the perfect voice and depiction of the character and what you would expect them to be in that moment. Sad to see the series end, but glad it was created!

I’ve loved Zach Gilford since Friday Night Lights. He deserves the world. He’s so talented. Hope to see more of him soon

She’s the kind of actress that once you find out out she’s in it you gotta watch it. I definitely look forward to seeing the next thing she’s starring in which I heard was coming up soon!

I loved all 3 of Mike’s horror shows. All are so completely different and yet they all are riveting. Brilliance

The fact that i was disgusted by only seeing Sam's face in the beginning of this interview is just an evidence on how good actress she is

I am in love with Zac. He is just too handsome.

Major Jim Jones vibes from Hamish in the mass suicide scene. Amazing actor.

I wasn't afraid of the Angel. Bev is the True Horror of the entire series! Good job to Samantha Sloyan!

Amazing performances by all, especially Hamish and Sam -- so intense! The writing was excellent as well. I love all you guys -- getting ready to watch Midnight Mass a second time!

The detail in this show was incredible. Like Bev querying Father Paul about the wrong colour chasuble, or Father Paul explaining he prefers the "old" (pre 2008) translation over the "new" one because it's nicer, like seriously, how many viewers would have actually noticed that he was using the "wrong" translation anyway? and the depictions of mass being celebrated which is exactly how it really happens. In most TV shows church scenes are all over the show. Crucifixes hanging in evangelical Protestant churches etc.

Samantha Sloyan's performance was just incredible, I fucking loathed Bev lol

Incredible cast! Kate Siegel, Zach Gilford, Hamish Linklater and Samantha Sloyan are superb 👏👏

omg Kate Siegel is so pretty. I loved the show, the entire cast is amazing. Great job guys

Love that Mike Flanagan just hired the same people on his movies and tv series,and I love that even Kate Siegel is Mike's wife but they didn't put her on a leading role and just put her there as supporting actress but you just learn to love her characters.Awesome couple.

Bev reminded me of Marcia Gay Harden's character in "The Mist". Just finished "Midnight Mass" last night and this was the best show i've seen in a while. Gave me chills at times.

Hamish and Samantha both deserves an Emmy at least.

I’ve loved Hamish since I met him back in the day. He was the best Hamlet I’ve ever seen, and I saw Kenneth Branagh do it. So glad he’s getting attention finally.

Kristen Leeman, you are amazing! You are the best portrayal of a mom character. I adored your portrayal. Everyone was great. I just watched the series and its unbelievable!

Samantha sloyan needs an Emmy for her acting as Beverly Keene. She was phenomenal and Kate Siegel has been doing some real good work lately plus she is so good when it comes to delivering monologues.
