They crammed too much crap into the pilot episode. All of the characters seem like cliches drawn with very broad strokes.

I liked it...nice eye candy, okay special effects and yeah, anytime Arielle Kebbel is on TV works for me (the hot assassin woman). I liked her in American Pie Band Camp, and she was also in an okay Hallmark film.
The ratings were actually okay for a summer show, so we will at least get to see a full season. If the numbers hold next week I could see NBC giving us a second summer season in 2018. This show was much more enjoyable than Salvation on CBS. |

I liked it.. I've always been into shows of this nature where it's some strange town with a twist to it. I'm not sure it's the best sign that I like everyone else in the cast more than I like the lead actor but whatever. It was only one ep and shows tend to get better character wise as they progress.
randomness. Really good TV level CGI for the bird man's wings only to turn into "errr what?" when his wings just become is arms. |
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
For summertime viewing it was fun enough. It's not high quality TV or anything but I'm in for next week.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
Just caught up on the second episode and I liked it better than the first. This is turning out to be a fun show to watch before the flood of new/returning shows hits the airwaves.

This is actually a really interesting show to premiere in the dead of summer. NBC should have pushed it back to the Fall and given it better promotion. The F/X aren't terrible and the cast works for the most part.
I could see it getting hokey down the road but right now the mystery of the town keeps things lively. |
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
The ratings again held up okay so I think this show is going to pull a The Night Shift and gets a second season pick up to air next summer. Always nice when a summer show that could have easily been a one and done show turns out to be a pleasant surprise.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I caught up on the first three episodes and it is an interesting enough show.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I'm liking this so far. Hopefully, a large cast of characters won't hurt this show like True Blood and other shows.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I'm enjoying this
a little bit too true blood esque, hope it creates it's own identity |
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I'm in as long as we stick more to humor than horror. I don't really like horror shows.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
Enjoyed the last episode. It was campy fun with the succubus. I hope the show gets renewed and is set up as a summer show.

I was telling my mom yesterday that this has an X-files feel to me. We see to have a monster of the week that feeds into an overall story-arc. It works for me but my mom says the humor in the books is missing from the series.

It's been gold by the standards of summer network programming. NBC should have pushed this back to the Fall.

Got American Ninja Warrior in the first half of Midnight's time slot. I hope that's only a local goof.

Been really enjoying this
If it upped the pace and action factor, would be ever better |
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I've been enjoying this show..I am also halfway through the second book, "Dayshift." I think they have been generally true to the book. Of course it helps when its author part of the production team.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I like the pace and how it gets to things quickly and not drag it out for half a season or longer.
|
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I just spent all day binging this. I didn't think I'd like it, but I did. Too bad it might not be back, but I'm looking forward the finale on Monday.

Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
I hope the show is picked up though the ratings have not been stellar.
|
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
If it has a complete story with no cliffhanger it still makes a good mini series.
|
Re: Midnight, Texas (NBC) -- based on book series by the author of True Blood
You got the feeling by the way the last two episodes finished the season that the writers didn't want to leave fans hanging, if the show doesn't get renewed.
Assassin chick seemed to flip-flop on becoming a vampire very quickly, after insisting she didn't want to become immortal. That whole arc with her and the vamp near the end gave me whiplash. |
