Based on Charlaine Harris' book series by the same name, "Midnight, Texas" follows the lives of the strange inhabitants of a small town in the middle of nowhere, where the concept of normal is relative. A haven for vampires, witches, psychics, hit men, and others with extraordinary backgrounds, Midnight gives outsiders a place to belong. Though they are viewed as outcasts everywhere else, the supernatural town members form a strong and unlikely family as they work together to use their powers to survive.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Midnight, Texas recycles too many southern gothic tropes to possess much of its own unique flavor, but it's endearingly idiosyncratic enough to merit attention from viewers with an interest in the occult.

Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 08/10/2017
I just don't see the pieces in place at the center of the cast or in the creative aspirations for Midnight, Texas to be anything more than a PG-rated version of what ought to be a decadent and overblown summer guilty pleasure. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan Variety 07/25/2017
The best thing that can be said about Midnight, Texas is that its badness is at least amiable. Go to Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 07/25/2017
2.5/4
Although hardly perfect, it's the most ambitious of the broadcast networks' new scripted series this summer. Go to Full Review Rosalynn Try-Hane Battle Royale With Cheese 08/20/2018
... this is definitely a television series that is perfect for a binge - save up those episodes and then give yourself over to midnight. Go to Full Review Caralynn Lippo Tell-Tale TV 06/21/2018
3/5
[Bobo and Fiji] have spent virtually the entire season dancing around their feelings for one another, so this is easily the most ~satisfying~ moment of the finale. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Slashfilm 03/14/2018
Overall, Midnight, Texas is a show with enough weirdness and scares that it'll leave you delightfully jumpy before turning in at night. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
