Because it was released years ago, there was constant threads about it.

I remember some threads when it came out.

>"Islamophobia in New York City? Welp, that settles it, I'm moving to this isolated, devoutly Catholic island off the coast of New England"

Because it's hardly a masterpiece. It was pretty good, I'd recommend it to most people, but there's not much to say (limited series, after all).
Also Riley died too early and was probably the best part second to Monsignor "Pruitt".

Yea Forums has already decided it’s bad because of chud religious schizo reasons

>no one in the island recognises the priest
Masterpiece indeed.

>contrived shit where nobody knows what a vampire is
>absolute dogshit unnatural midwit soliloquies that sound like characters reading off reddit posts
>exists just to strawman religious people and glamorise the writers cringe “spiritual” atheist shit

Halfway though it began reminding me heavily of Shiki.

• remote backwater location
• vampire(s)
• mystery
• priest character
• doctor character
• some of the villagers thinking this is the coolest shit ever, let's go all in

I never watched this thing but it's weird to me how some people shit on it for being too "religion le bad" and other people shit on it for being too "religion le good" and the only think they could all agree on is that it had cringy pseudointellectual monologues

Midnight Mass?
Never seen it, never will.
But it's late at night and I'm about to hit the weights. Thanks for reminding me.

Good but a few of the monologs felt like the director just masturbating to reddit "deep" posts. Namely the two talking on the couch about what they thought dieing was like. Like, are you really bold face gonna do two back to back tottaly unnatural dialouge monolog blog posts? Shouldn't have ever fully shown the vampire imo.

>and other people shit on it for being too "religion le good"

Never read anyone with that take.

>watching something netflix produced
ok groomer

I know there are people dying all over the island and it is my job to find out what is going on, but did you know I was treated badly for being a muslim this one time

Never heard of it.

its boring

>Yea yeah yeah, blood drinking vampires, whatever. We should focus on what's really important: how American Muslims were the true victims of 9/11.

I didn't really think it was that great, the dialogue was poorly written and the performances were mostly pretty stiff (the actor playing the priest did a great job though). And the slow-reveal of what was going on got less interesting as it went, like the misdirections were more intriguing than the twists/reveals. It wasn't terrible, it kept my interest enough for me to watch the whole thing, but I didn't love it

He said EVER.

>Even though Midnight Mass does still contain plenty of overt horror elements, I think the series actually pushes Flanagan quite far outside the horror genre. If anything, I felt baited by this story, which plays within the modern horror sandbox while undercutting much of the ethos of modern horror via its embrace of Christianity as a source of hope and nourishment for lost souls facing an incomprehensible crisis. Many critics have found that to be a good thing, praising the series’ emphasis on the less sordid aspects of horror. Yet while Flanagan has every right to keep writing relentlessly hopeful stories, for horror fans like me, the effect of his optimism is frustration over feeling shunned as a non-believer — by the very genre that usually protects non-believers from feeling shunned.

Because they sing "Nearer, My God, to Thee"? He feels alienated? That's as much a smootbrain take as the guy that wrote he couldn't relate to 'Turning Red' because he's not asian, Canadian or a woman.

it was shit
Bly Manor is the best of these shows and the only one with a truly satisfying ending but it has THE GAYS and isn't packed with obvious horror bait at the start so nobody gave it a fair shot and now we're just gonna get more schlock with 'le tweest' endings from now on

>them
I think 'it' would be more approriate.

Did anyone watch this?

She would not be with him if he didn't work in the industry and give her jobs

yes

The monologues were like being trapped in a room with some retard who heard about DMT for the first time.

Flannagan is a fedora fag suck in 2004
>I connected pretty intensely with Buddhism for a few years in there, even seeking out temples in Los Angeles as I tried to further explore it, but ultimately the book that impacted me the most was God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. That led to Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris. But I found more spiritual resonance reading Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan than I found in two decades of Bible study.

Joe Rogan talking about weed.

Let me guess, it's really respectful and authentic in how it portrays Christianity, in the same way every movie and show treats Islam and Judaism as if they're priceless traditions to venerate and treasure. Right? Fuck Hollywood.

lmfao

i’m agnostic but god is not great is one of the most sociopathic things i’ve ever read. it’s not just an atheist thing, he actively wishes for there to be no god because he thinks the idea of some fundamental authority to reality is not worth it. ie, he would actively rather it be the case, and WISHES, that all life and suffering is utterly pointless, that there is no actual truth or inherent beauty to anything we make, that it’s all just random hollow nothingness and that everyone dies alone in a spasm of fear and goes into an abyss of oblivion- he actively hopes this is the case for everyone- because he doesn’t like a god who tells him what is good and bad. and then he goes on to call this god evil

>"dude it's just like DRUGS"
proving my point

schizophrenia is a serious illness, user. take your meds.

Not as serious as something I just thought of.

no but seriously, there is nothing difficult to understand about the monologues, when people criticise them it’s because they are embarrassing. the writer clearly thinks they are deep but shit like that is a dime a dozen on reddit. genuinely what aspect of them do you think anyone would struggle to grasp?

A friend of mine with good taste recommended it to me but I don't watch series, too long

>literally a fat tranny who's mad at Florida's anti-pedo law
how surprising

Yeah, that was ridiculous

Exactly. MM is like a shitty Salem's Lot and completely unnecessary because Shiki was the superior homage anyway. Hammish was great though.

Too diverse for me

10/10

That aspect was fine. There was only one super old person in the community who would have had a decent chance of recognizing the priest's younger appearance, but she was too far gone to be telling anyone much of anything. The other older characters would have been too young at the time to have clear memories of how he looked, and those memories would be further obscured by the different clothing and hair styles of the time. And it's not like this was something they completely ignored - they literally showed one character working it out after seeing an old photograph of the priest.

They set the show up so this wouldn't be a problem. If there were a whole bunch of similarly aged old-folk on the island, it would be a bit more suspicious. But the ages of everyone made sense for the deception.
