Absolutely nuts if you were raised Catholic/Christian, but in general it's fun horror schlock. A big improvement on The Haunting series the same crew did. The characters are actually interesting and not just annoying.

i liked it. i appreciated the attention to detail of the environment. tv/movies that give a lot of attention to atmospherics/geography with wide establishing shots and attention to history of place draw me in.
someone told me this was the same group being The Haunting of [whatever] on netflix, and i tried to start one but i quit after like 10 minutes because it just seemed like rehashed sPooKy hOUsE crap and lacked any of the non-supernatural conflict setup that Midnight Mass had. i really appreciate a story that has other, more grounded shit going on that i can get invested in. Midnight Mass was good at that.
should i push through?
They're not really worth pushing through to be honest. They have good environmental and ambience horror going on at first, but the characters suck and the plots meander forever and all the horror gets sapped out about halfway through.
I'd say Midnight Mass is far and away the best thing they've done for Netflix at least.
