This is an advanced spoiler-free review of Midnight Mass. The miniseries will make its global debut on Netflix on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021.
Acclaimed Doctor Sleep and Haunting of Hill House writer/director Mike Flanagan takes a break from adapting popular horror novels to create his own terrifying work of art in Netflix's seven-part limited series, Midnight Mass. Released from the creative shackles of adapting other people's stories, Flanagan has crafted his most profound, personal, and haunting work yet. With some episodes running more than 65 minutes, there are times when Midnight Mass can feel a bit long in the tooth; however, Flanagan justifies his creative indulgence with a wonderfully bonkers final three episodes that left me breathless.
Set in the isolated community of Crockett Island, Midnight Mass immediately gives off a sinister vibe as the decaying town appears to be slowly rotting away from the inside. Here, we meet the colorful inhabitants. Flanagan is a master at developing memorable characters, and that remains true in Midnight Mass.

Our protagonist is Riley Flynn (portrayed by Good Girls' Zach Gilford), who returns to his childhood home on Crockett Island after a long absence due to a tragic accident. Gilford gives a reserved but powerful performance as his character wrestles with constant self-doubt and a fear of letting people in... even his own family. When his father (Haunting of Hill House alum Henry Thomas) convinces Riley to go to church, we're introduced to the town's new priest, Father Paul (Hamish Linklater).
Riley and Father Paul form a dynamic relationship as the clergyman begins to help Crockett Island's wayward son cope with his past traumas during their weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Their one-on-one interactions are thought-provoking, as Riley challenges Father Paul to explain some of the most prevailing theological questions, like why does God let bad things happen to good people? These are some of the show's most poignant character-building moments, but it's also where the story can dawdle at times. While the subject matter and performances throughout these religion-centric conversations are captivating, it feels like Flanagan is trying to hammer his point across after the nail has already been set in place.
Hamish Linklater is fantastic as Father Paul.

Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass is his best work to date. It's filled with compelling characters and plenty of frights of both the supernatural and human varieties, but it's also a deeply personal story. The Netflix limited series effectively wrestles with complex theological questions in an engaging way, even when some of the character interactions ...
