I really liked it! I thought the modernisation really worked, I really got a sense of how humiliating the pigs blood was for her.

However the prom deaths disappointed me… it was over fast and I didn’t get much sense of the terror. I REALLY did when I read the book. Also unsure of the overall Avengers style storyline

    I liked it. I admit to being biased in favor of Flanagan. I have critiques, but net enjoy every single thing he’s made that I have seen so far.

    I was fine with the alteration to the end with how the deaths came about, diverting from the book and setting up a second season. I’ll stop there to avoid spoilers.

    Seems good so far and I hope to finish by holloween. I assume the avengers thing if you will is because otherwise its going to be hard to have more seasons. I notice it appears only females have abilities in the universe unless I missed something.

    I LOVED it! The casting was pretty much perfect and I really liked the modernization for the story. Most of the needle drops were great too, solid season overall.

    SPOILERS DON’T READ IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED:
    I didn’t mind the change in the prom scene, mostly because the credits cut to screaming after the blood fell was perfect.

    But Flannigan is a master of excelling at the race and faceplanting at the finish line. I know he’s invested in the Dark Tower and there’s a Season 2 on the way, but that ending felt hamfisted while the rest of the story fit together really elegantly. I felt similarly in Midnight Mass too

    END SPOILERS HAVE A NICE DAY

    I thought that overall there was a lot to like, and some good performances throughout, but I also found the climax to be a bit underwhelming.
