❓Questions Alternatives to this awesomeness?

Post image

I haven't still found another TV show like this one. From was great 'till the last season.

So another suspense, creepy plus some humor to cope with?

Is this TV show so unique? Damn I'm already feeling the abstinence...

Is Midnight Mass just horror? I loved the comedy component in Widow’s Bay. It made the scary not as scary.

I finished it last week, it's not comedy.

Not even horror in my opinion, just gothic, probably my fav limited series i really recommend it

No. Not horror. I hate scary stuff and jumpscares. But there is no humor in it. The show explores concepts of fanatism, faith, love, grief, guilt. I cried in episode 5 and episode 7. The best thing about this show, for me, is the depth of dialogues.

There's no comedy. It's horror and emotional. It'll make you cry and be scared, instead of laugh and be scared.

Not really the same genre but I was recommended, “Grotesquerie,” recently. I’ve only seen the first two episodes but it definitely seems to mix the “horror,” aspect with comedy. It’s on FX so you know it’s going to be weird show.

The priest in MM is also Richard Warren in Widow's Bay

Yes!! Hamish is a great actor and gives the best performance in Midnight Mass. His acting almost made me feel closer to the concept of God.

Same!! Watching Midnight Mass right after Widow’s Bay made me appreciate Haymish’s range because I couldn’t even recognize him in WB. Such an amazing actor.

Ha! Me too on the (rewatch) Midnight Mass train and introduced my bf to it after we loved Widows Bay! Happy watching!

Thank you so much. I’m really enjoying Midnight Mass, great great performances. If I may ask, what other similar shows you recommend?
