Midnight Mass premiered on Netflix on September 24, 2021. But, not being the one to force me into watching something for the sake of writing, I took my time. Though I love thrillers, I never had an appetite for the horror genre. So I took more than the usual time but finally got there. And I am glad I did. Midnight Mass is a 7-episode fiction series, which I watched in 2 days. The entire story takes place on a fictitious location called Crockett Island, with just a population of 127. It involves a supernatural creature, miraculous and horrifying events, but still makes more sense than anything I have seen recently.
