Midnight Mass

This is so hard to rate. This series had so many powerful and thoughtful moments, and I really thought it did a great job of tackling such a nuanced subject matter. Monsignor Pruitt was by far the most compelling character in my opinion. I thought his development was one of the most successful parts of the show. Bev’s character also worked very well for me, and I thought the message behind her way of thinking was very well conveyed. BUT THOSE MONOLOGUES BRO. ENOUGH. It just got to a point where they began sounding cliche. Unfortunately Erin’s final monologue was a big miss for me. It seemed like it was trying to be profound and philosophical, but in reality it wasn’t presenting anything new or groundbreaking at all. I have typically loved Mike Flanagan’s signature monologues in his other projects, and I TRIED to get on board this time, but after Erin’s I just had to give up. Like what are you even saying at this point. I’m just very conflicted because I feel like this show has such an intriguing subject matter, but those moments of dragged out dialogue really took me out of the whole thing. Mike ur pissing me off. Love you though 😍
