Viewers praise the show on Reddit
A social media user asked: "The most binge-worthy Netflix show or movie you've ever watched? You ever start a show or movie on Netflix thinking you'll just watch one episode, then suddenly it's 3am and you've watched the whole thing?" They added: "Just curious what people's recommendations are for ones that really had you hooked."
One person replied: "Midnight Mass." Another added: "Oh, I came to say that one! So many great characters, a plot that kept me guessing, and moments that made me actually cry. I loved it so much. Such a great story about sacrifice, and how far you would go (for better or worse) for those you love."
A third remarked: "That was good! I watched it all in one night and screamed so loud I woke up my son." Elsewhere on social media, another user wrote: "Midnight Mass is still one of the most incredible shows I've ever seen. I must have watched this five times now, and each time it hits me a little deeper."
