A Netflix horror series has viewers so hooked they are staying up until the early hours to binge it all. Social media users have called it one of the best shows they have watched in a long time.
The show came to attention after a social media user asked for a dangerously addictive show to watch that would have them binging until 3am begging for another episode. The post quickly sparked a lot of conversation, with many people recommending the same series.
Viewers praise the show online
Responding to the post, one person said: "Midnight Mass." Another added: "Midnight Mass is so good."
Over on Reddit, a different person noted: "Midnight Mass is one of the best shows I have seen in a long, long time. Bravo Netflix."
Another added: "I really liked it too and watched the whole series twice. It helped that I went in blind and expected it to be something other than what is was."
A third noted: "Show is amazing. I watch it around Halloween time every year and it never disappoints."
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "I just finished Midnight Mass in a back-to-back binge and I am completely awestruck. I'd go as far as to say it might be the best thing Flanagan has done!"
What is the show about?
Midnight Mass is an American gothic supernatural horror television miniseries. It was developed and directed by Mike Flanagan and was released back in 2021.
It stars Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Kristin Lehman and Henry Thomas. The story follows a devout and impoverished Catholic island community.
People begin to witness supernatural events following the arrival of a mysterious priest. After a young man returns to his hometown on Crockett Island, he plans to rebuild his life after serving four years in prison for killing someone in a drink-driving incident.
However, when he arrives, so does a priest who starts to revitalise the town's flagging faith. It is not long before strange events begin to unfold in the town. There are only seven episodes, making it easy to binge, and the show is said to be well worth viewers' time.
