Our Review
“The Midnight Club” masterfully interweaves a poignant coming-of-age narrative with elements of horror and mystery. Each character’s backstory adds depth, making them relatable and evoking empathy. The series doesn’t shy away from the grim reality of terminal illness but presents it with sensitivity. The dark tales they share serve as a therapeutic escape but also highlight the blurred line between life and the hereafter. While some might find the pacing slow, the emotional payoff is worth the patience. Netflix once again delivers a memorable adaptation that remains faithful to its source material yet offers something new for today’s audience.
