Midnight, Texas (2017–2018)
4/10
Mixed bag of magic
25 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Based on the first episode only, Midnight strikes as a mixed affair, with some entertainment value but let down by less than engaging dialogue and character interaction that is too formulaic. The genre (of vampires, psychics, witches, etc.) has become rather worn of late, and Midnight may not be the best entry in this field.

The look, the direction, the scenes are appealing for a small screen production. The town as presented is not too hokey, if a bit contrived.

Boy meets girl is the major plot element (for the lead character), with a large dosage of mystery.

Most intriguing characters are the reverend/pet-cemeterian, and the talking cat. The latter's visual effects are not quite as good as some talking animals in other productions, but is sufficient for the cause.

Cautiously recommended.
