IN A UNIVERSE
WHERE VAMPIRES DON'T REAL
this show is awful, its just back to back monologues that are completely unmotived and delivered with all the emotion of a wet paper bag, you people have terrible taste
That last episode was painful, great show if you just stop watching before the last one. Any ending you imagine would be better than what's actually there.
this show fricking sucked. started out promising and then ended with a gigantic wet fart
>noooo, you can't have actual horror in your horror series because that would detract from all the soap opera monologues and ugly wooden shantytown sets!
Completely misses any potential using vampires to critique the Catholic Church in particular ever had. It all felt way more like an evangelical Protestant type setup where all the emphasis is on this one charismatic preacher rather than a whole institution. It would have been way more prescient and actually way more sinister to show a whole network of vampire priests going right up to the upper echelons of the church and using their power to cover for each other instead of just this one rogue priest on an island.
In my experience growing up Catholic only the shitty priests get sent to middle of nowhere parishes. Had one when my brother was confirmation age. Dude was the most pious motherfricker ever. Loved the sound of his own voice. His masses would last an extra hour or more. Gave terrible advice. Last I heard he got sent to bumfrick nowhere North Dakota.
Point being, if he's a Catholic priest working in the middle of nowhere, he's probably a shitty priest and is already on the Church's radar.
Tried watching some of midnight club with my girlfriend and we were both bored not even done with the first episode. It feels like teen wolf tier to me, like a bad mtv drama.
I liked the hauntings though, besides their kinda cringe feel good endings. And midnight mass was pretty damn good.
Loved the show, but I didn't completely gel with the ending. I felt like it spiraled really hard into symbolism and allegory for all the actions of the characters. They could have just let all the vampires gather in the one building to sleep for the day and then burnt it down around them while they slept in broad daylight, but instead they decided to just kind of do it in front of them and die in the process.
Define what you mean by "plot hole". I always understood it as a hole left when a scene that previously established some plot progression was cut leaving noticeable gap between the two remaining scenes surrounding it.
Last time we saw the hero stash the MacGuffin he put it under the floorboards in his hideout just before the goons showed up to raid the place, then the next time we see the love interest has it in her bag because the 12-minute scene where he sneaks back into his hideout, which is now swarming with goons, retrieves the MacGuffin and passes it to her for safe keeping was cut for time.

You’re wrong.
was okay. I found it kind of hard to believe that nobody could recognize the priest, and the amount of off the cuff monologues kind of took me out of it.
I was ready to sign off on it until it started hinting about vampires, then it became worthwhile. Got really bored with the constant monologues and vaguely sinister Christian hymns being played over people going to church.
Like every other sane person here:
It was a good show, IF you cut away the fricking monologues
He can't fricking stop injecting them huh
House of Usher has a couple too
this is true

>his strongest show is the one where he's not fricking up someone else's material
really makes you think

The only really cringe thing in this was the incredibly forced muslim cop.
But it's with purpose. He's an estranged non white cop that wants to fit in, so he begrudgingly turned blind eye on bad things
A liked both of the Haunting of shows
homosexual
I liked the one with the dad and his troubled adult children. The other one didn't really go anywhere i thought. Midnight mass is king tho
when the two characters traded 10 minute monologues on the couch...i was out.
It was kino, but the ending was moronic. If it weren't for the priest carrying the show it would've been a 4/10 but he made it 7/10

The boat scene would be a kino ending with some minor changes to finalize things.

Still waiting for him to top Hill House. In the middle of Usher, Hill House still better
Bly Manor > Hill House
Hill House: 9/10
Bly Manor: 7.5 / 10
Midnight Mass: 10/10
Midnight Club: 6/10
House of Usher: 8/10
Oculus: 7.5/10
Doctor Sleep: 8.5/10
Gerald's Game: 7/10
Does he have anything else worth watching?

Usher is one of the worst shows I've seen recently, guess he just shat it out before the move over to Amazon
HH > HoU > MM > MC > BM

there were dozens of plot holes
like why the evil racist Christian wypipo elected a brown Muslim as sheriff
pretty sure they didn't elect him, he said he was just transferred. don't think he was a sheriff
kind of like the bible

awful show
the only thing I remember from this show is the monologue in one of the last episodes
The main characters death was kino
See, this is why the patriarchy needs to be stopped. Riley isn't the main character, whats her face is.
I know this show is rightfully panned for the 15 minutes monologue about life philosophy but no other show do that so at least they have that

It was cringe anti-Christian Woke Propaganda like everything Netflix makes.
