madmaltese★ 2,554 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I would still very much recommend watching Midnight Mass, even though GD and I don't think it's MF's best work. I'm reading a lot of ppl saying it is by far their fav work, so there's a chance you will very much like it. Plus it is also just generally good compared to most other 'horror' tv shows. Worth it for how beautifully it's shot alone. Plus only 7 eps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worth it for how beautifully it's shot alone. Plus only 7 eps. We wound up finishing the show. It's an interesting concept. I actually think this would be better as an M. Night style movie. Even at only 7 eps,by the time the show picks up speed its so close to the end that all the previous build up (that little that was actually there) is insufficient. This show is padded with too many too long monologs where characters take 10 minutes to express what would normally be a 1 or 2 minute scene. That graduation type speech at the end that went on for-fucking-ever. There's just something missing from the show. Like it's not scary enough to be horror, but at the same time it's unintentionally too silly to be a straight drama. At the end of the day the problem it's written, directed, and produced by one person. A little input from another person might have been a bit helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Im close to the end. I've warmed up to it a bit more but I feel like theres too many characters and most of them are underdeveloped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Other than a couple of plot twist or just one really it's just people talking... A lot. The performances were all good. I really liked the Preacher's work here and back when he was on Legion. It feels like a play too often. I don't love that you can probably skip like half of the episodes in between 1 and 6 and not really miss anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,608 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Did anyone watch The Wonder Years? Only one episode out but it was really good. Its cool to see a different take on it. Only gripe is the original theme song isnt there . They should have remade it into a funk version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelfish 93 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Anyone interested in No Time to Die? It doesn't sound must see but is likely to still be one of the better action films of the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this is more Casino Royale and Skyfall vs QOS or the other one. It was a mistake to try to tie all these movies together. People totally forget bad Bond films.

I'd be very interested to see what you thought if you ever watch Hill House though, because it does a lot of similar things (lot of characters, long monologues, all done by one guy, etc), but just executes them so much better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Word! I think hill house mixed horror and character depth so flawlessly. I truly felt connected to the characters…and the broke neck lady reveal was downright chilling! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I just finished Midnight Mass. Its better acted and produced but as far as recent horror shows are concerned, I definitely enjoyed Slasher Flesh & Blood more Decent 7/10 quality imo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 407 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The latest What If ep was pretty good. Best of the show so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 re-watched the first 4 eps of hill house. it's still as amazing as the first 3 times i've watched them (this is my 4th viewing of the series). but i have to watch many saints of newark 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Watched The Many Saints of Newark. While I loved the fan service and seeing young Tony (James’ son did great), the story just felt paper thin. The premise could have made for a solid TV show. However, 2 hours is not enough to capture the tone and depth of The Sopranos. 5/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
