Andrew Male The Times (UK) 10/24/2022
... Despite an utterly gripping linking story featuring Iman Benson as a patient desperate to unearth the history of the hospice, the stories themselves are more charming than scary. Go to Full Review

For those who are looking for horror with heart, and a Halloween season viewing with more on its mind than blood and gore, it’s well worth a watch. Go to Full Review

While not frightening per se, “The Midnight Club” taps into the horrors that life presents us and the demons we chase inside, and outside. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
The Midnight Club attempts to have its cake and eat it too with its half-anthology, half-singular-story approach. But in execution, this leaves us with what feels like two different shows fighting for control of one another. Go to Full Review

The Midnight Club’s winning points are the characters. Their tales are the highlight of the show. By exchanging these stories, the group learns about the characters and what happened to them. Go to Full Review

Matthew B. @WeyrleaderZor Feb 10 The concept was interesting but I felt like the show didn’t know what it wanted to be… a collection or singular stories… individually some were great, but the barely connected thing trying to be forced as if somehow essential weighed it down. Worth the watch, sure…. But not the best work Flanagan has done See more Angel F. @angeldavidfb Jan 7 Season finale is boring af. Fall sleep on most of the “stories”. Love the characters but the stories side of it just make me feel bored and disconnected. See more David R. @bocaone Sep 14 The midnight stories were interesting, the actual plot and characters were confusing and did not contribute the show. Terrible ending of season 1. Cannot imagine it gets pickup for another Season. See more Zoey J @RT60721861 Jun 25 Expected so much more from Flanagan. Didn’t hit the mark See more xyxz0707 T @RT28121065 03/03/2025 If you like suspense, then this is a good movie. But in the last, I couldn't understand whether it's horror, suspense, or a teenage drama. See more Brady R @BRice309 02/17/2025 I've only watched one episode, and I don't plan on finishing the series. I love all of Flanagan's work, but this show was all over the place, and the jump scares were not done tastefully. See more Read all reviews
