Midnight Mass<\/em><\/strong> is the very definition of a slow burn of a show, and after you watch the entirety of the series that unintended pun will make a lot of sense. Mike Flannigan takes us on an unexpected journey by changing the show\u2019s narrative a few times throughout each episode. The overall religious themes are always present coupled with heavy doses of soul-searching. Of course, because that my friends is the basis of all religion \u2013 seeking deliverance. Will these characters truly find salvation? And, most importantly who gets decide the form that salvation takes and who deserves it?<\/p>\n

Tuck in, this is where I attempt to not spoil you guys. So, this shit is going to vague as hell. Enjoy!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

MIDNIGHT MASS<\/em><\/strong> tells the tale of a small, isolated island community whose existing divisions are amplified by the return of a disgraced young man (Zach Gilford) and the arrival of a charismatic priest (Hamish Linklater). When Father Paul\u2019s appearance on Crockett Island coincides with unexplained and seemingly miraculous events, a renewed religious fervor takes hold of the community\u2014but do these miracles come at a price?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When you are first introduced to Crockett Island and its inhabitants you will find yourself immediately drawn into each character and you will be curious about their various backstories. You quickly learn there are many and some are quite sorted. Which is not surprising since all small towns usually have some dark tings<\/em> going on behind closed doors.\u00a0 The island itself is almost a character, making it perfect setting for the story that is about to unfold. Anyone else notice how beautiful islands are in the daytime, and how spooky they seem to get at night?<\/p>\n
