thanks for watching, the next 3 are on patreon ________________________ patreon - / lmreactions twitter - / lmreaction tv time - lola - skysstillblue, milena - oneofthe100
This show didn't get the audience traction that the two Haunting shows did, so seeing you guys doing a reaction to it is a welcome surprise! This show is Mike Flanagan's best work IMO.
23:50 I appreciate the way they did that jumpscare. You know it's coming but they hold the shot on Riley just for enough time to get you, and unsurprisingly Milena's reaction is priceless!
Bro this show was so good. I didn't know Mike Flanagan did it until after I started it, which was great because I loved "Hill House". I'm not religious but later on in the series is one of the most touching conversations I've ever seen on screen between two characters pertaining to their religious beliefs. Its such a great show
So glad you're starting this one! This is one of the best series Mike Flanagan has done so far. Such a compelling show. Can't wait to watch this over again with you guys!!
Loving that you are reacting to "Midnight Mass", Lola and Milena. Buckle up you are in for a wild ride. Yes, there is another show from Mike Flanagan out there now to react to called, "The Midnight Club". It is One Season | 10 Episodes. There is also a new show from Mike Flanagan set to premiere in the Fall of 2023 called "The Fall of the House of Usher".
22:00 Milena 😂🤣 "Something happened to the cat" "Something really badly happened to the cat" "Someone ate a cat" That look Lola gave her had me cracking up
This became one of my favorite shows of all time. It was so under appreciated but it’s truly a masterpiece. I can’t wait to see your thoughts on the whole thing.
watching this one with you two, cheering for the cats for now. SAVE THE CATS. PS: Lola is correct, i would also love to read a book in a house in a storm
idk if you guys would ever consider watching Dead to Me, but it’s really good and short 30 minute episodes too. it’s not just comedy, it gets serious at points and even becomes a bit of a who done it. great show that has an amazing ending and has been under reacted to. christina applegate got diagnosed with MS before the final season filmed and aired so it could be one of her last performances as MS is a progressive disease. I can’t think of 2 people who’d enjoy a show like dead to me more, and it even has a wlw couple for milena to enjoy :)
You ladies will absolutely love this show, it absolutely took me by surprise. It’s the Hill House crew and writer so it’s going to hit you in every emotion.
Yay what a treat I didn’t know you’d be watching this! TONS of the actors are familiar. Some from other shows like the main guy but 80% are from Mike Flannigan’s Haunting of ___ series. The mayor (👨🏻🦰mustache man) was known on set as Sexy Flanders. Because of my background, which happens to be the same as Mike Flannigan’s-raised extremely Catholic but chose atheism over time- this show automatically gets tons of points from me. I hadn’t been to Mass in 10 yrs but I got a kick out of saying all the ceremonial blessings in perfect sync 😅 it’s tough when you don’t personally believe the religion your family practiced, your school practiced. Because you have to be true to yourself. But at the same time, you’re leaving behind part of your ‘culture.’ So I had a kick reliving my culture without any commitments 😜 The story actually makes a bit more sense if you’ve been soaked in Catholic gospel like Flannigan and I have. FYI, I’m Catholic Mass (our word for church), there is a *literal* miracle every time. The priest blesses the bread/Eucharist and the wine and when he does, even if it still looks and tastes like bread and wine, according to Catholic teachings it is NOT. It is now actually factually Jesus’s body and blood you consume. Saying it like that I’m afraid I sound offensive but hey, Catholics, non-Catholics, back off. That’s literally Church law I’m just explaining it. (When stated it sounds freaking nuts but if you and everyone you know does it your whole life it seems 800% normal) Background info since I’m not aware of non-Catholics know what I take for granted growing up in the church. Can’t wait for your reactions! The characters are Christian, Muslim, atheist. Whether or not they’re a good person is dependent on their personality/character. It is noooot pro or anti propaganda, it’s just a show about people.
Wow that’s wild, I literally was just saying out of the blue that i wanted to watch some midnight mass reactions and was looking among react channels I don’t usually watch to find a good one. Ended up watching sesskasays and now this pops up! One of my favorite channels!
16:04 It's probably not specifically where you know her from because she's in loads, it's just funny since you're wearing a Bartlet shirt, but she played Jed Bartlet's eldest daughter in The West Wing.
Oh my gosh, I did not expect to see a reaction to this show, but I’m so glad you’re doing it! I know there will be great conversations coming out of these episodes, really love how this show explores certain themes.
First The Wire and now Midnight Mass? Wonderful! Midnight Mass was the first Flanagan show I've seen and I watched the 2 Hauntings a few days after. Midnight Mass is still my favorite of them, it's just so good.
Oh one more Catholic tidbit! There are rules about who can take the Eucharist. You must be baptized Catholic or officially converted (I’m not 100% clear on how conversion works but my sister in law did it to marry my religious brother) and if you have committed a mortal sin (like KILLING someone), you may not take the Eucharist until a priest has pardoned you in confession. So Riley wasn’t being disrespectful in church by refusing to take the Eucharist nor was his dad being a jerk telling him he shouldn’t. They’re just respecting the religion. When I do have to go to Mass for a wedding or funeral, I stay seated during the procession to take the Eucharist like Riley did. Mannn people give you judgey eyes.
Regarding the communion thing, iirc it's considered a sin of sacrilege if a person takes communion while in a state of mortal sin (i.e. commited any sin against the 10 commandments if I'm not mistaken). To take communion again, you need to have Confession first.
Love this show - it was the first Flanagan I ever watched and of course I had to watch his other shows straight after. Without giving anything away, Midnight Mass has a great story and is wonderfully deep and thoughtful too. I’m sure you’ll love it!
oh my fucking gooooood! I'm so happy you're starting this show! I once read someone asking whether you were a Hill House, Bly Manor or Midnight Mass person. And I'm most def a MM girly, this show touched me deeply and undoubtedly and I'm glad you're experience it as well
Yesss!! Great pick! 👍 I’m a huge Flanagan fan and his crew and this show is one of the best things they’ve done. Also Samantha Sloyan’s is next level - you’ll never forget it. Apparently she has some crazy role in Flanagan’s next show - can’t wait to watch it. 🎉
I understand the importance of Patron polls, but if there's a show that you guys really wanna watch, I think u should just go for it a do a reaction series to it anyway. The Bear is an amazing show that I'm sure u both would love.
I wasn't expecting Midnight Mass would have such a large...mass of people that watched and enjoyed it. I thought it would just be like dust in the wind. Here one moment, gone the next like it never existed. Good series though.
This show is great, is not as heavy on the horror as the previous shows by Mike Flanagan, it's more like a drama with some horror elements throw in there. But it has some beautiful dialogue in it. Also, fun fact, the sheriff's look was inspired by Joel from TLOU, the actor that plays the sheriff (Rahul Kohli) and Mike Flanagan are both fans of the game.
I'm so happy this show won over the other, thank you patreon people ! Well to be honest it's not my favorite but at least I watched it haha, I adore you reactions but I haven't watch you girls in forever because I don't watch anyyyyy show you're currently reacting to ! I've missed watching you and I was something would come that I could finally watch again!
Big fan of this show! I ended up watching this last year at Easter, which turned out to be appropriate lol. Hope you do watch The Bear, it’s great! And…of course…Black Sails.
OHMYGOD BLACK SAILS IS AN OPTION???????' That's one of my favorite shows ever!!!!!! Girls, I've been watching your reactions since forever and I can tell you: Black Sails is right up your alley. You will love it.
i really enjoy the discussion after about giving people second chances. i completely agree with it, but at the same time there are varying levels of degrees to it. it’s important to note that not everyone can be rehabilitated. some people have compulsions and behaviors that are too ingrained and which there is no successful treatment for. think serial killers or sexual abusers/assaulters/r*apists. canada has a better criminal justice system than the US…but w/ their system a serial killer could be released from prison in 25 years as that is their maximum sentence and there is no death penalty. it’s a complicated issue overall, but i do agree for most people like the character you discuss there should be a road and system for rehabilitation.
Yay I didn‘t expect this at all lol loved midnight mass but also can‘t remember much so I‘m looking forward to rewatching with you guys Also I wanna see The Bear reactions aaaah it‘s so amazing I just rewatched the first season
I always give Lola and Milena’s videos a like even though they aren’t watching anything that I like right now and despite my heart being broken by the voters who selected this over Firefly. 🥺
oh my god, now i realize that you haven't watched either of The Hauntings shows, which are extremely good, Mike Flanagan tends to use the same actors for his shows, but he writes their characters so different, they can flex their skills so much
Lol, you should guys should veto and just start The Bear because it's genuinely so so so good. Glad y'all are finishing up on the Flanaverse before his new show comes out. Midnight Mass was great, great themes and performances all round
54:30 commenting this much I’ll prob get yeeted but it’s like 🦸🏻♀️ my years of Catholic school are paying off! The father said the mother went to church and prayed the rosary. If you’ve ever seen rosary 📿 beads, praying the rosary means a saying a prayer for EACH bead. It takes like an hour. As an adhd kid, I dreaded it almost as much as I dreaded the National fitness day
This show didn't get the audience traction that the two Haunting shows did, so seeing you guys doing a reaction to it is a welcome surprise! This show is Mike Flanagan's best work IMO.
Yeah well this show is not the same as Hill House or Bly Manor, it's very different and a lot of people did watch it
And it still managed to be better than both the haunting shows.
23:50 I appreciate the way they did that jumpscare. You know it's coming but they hold the shot on Riley just for enough time to get you, and unsurprisingly Milena's reaction is priceless!
Bro this show was so good. I didn't know Mike Flanagan did it until after I started it, which was great because I loved "Hill House".
I'm not religious but later on in the series is one of the most touching conversations I've ever seen on screen between two characters pertaining to their religious beliefs.
Its such a great show
I really liked it. The metaphor they use for Catholicism makes so much sense but i had never thought about it before watching it
This is the greatest mini series that I’ve ever seen. So happy you’re reacting to it
This and Haunting of Hill House
@@antviper135 Bly manor was my personal favorite
@@mclovin8435 Agreed, Bly Manor.
Bev is Steven's wife from hill house. The dad is the young dad from hill house. The drunk with the dog and the doctor was the dudleys from hill house.
I'm so psyched for this, this show needs more love.
So glad you're starting this one! This is one of the best series Mike Flanagan has done so far. Such a compelling show. Can't wait to watch this over again with you guys!!
Loving that you are reacting to "Midnight Mass", Lola and Milena.

It is One Season | 10 Episodes.
There is also a new show from Mike Flanagan set to premiere in the Fall of 2023 called "The Fall of the House of Usher".
I did not expect this reaction but glad it finally happened! I loved watching you two react to Haunting of Hill House and Haunting of Bly Manor.
22:00 Milena 😂🤣
"Something happened to the cat"
"Something really badly happened to the cat"
"Someone ate a cat"
That look Lola gave her had me cracking up
Samantha Sloyan's performance in this is fantastic. She should have won more awards.
This became one of my favorite shows of all time. It was so under appreciated but it’s truly a masterpiece. I can’t wait to see your thoughts on the whole thing.
watching this one with you two, cheering for the cats for now. SAVE THE CATS. PS: Lola is correct, i would also love to read a book in a house in a storm
Such an incredible show! The acting from the entire cast is phenomenal. You’re gonna love this one!
Milena is so fun for horrors 😂

Lola: I'd love to read a book when there's a storm outside
Milena: and I took that personally
XD
Oh my gosh, I did not expect to see a reaction to this show, but I’m so glad you’re doing it! I know there will be great conversations coming out of these episodes, really love how this show explores certain themes.

You also can't take the Eucharist if you haven't confessed in a while and you always know if it's been a while
Im so happy to see you guys reacting to this one because I wanted to see you reacting to it. It's one of my favourite shows.

Excellent choice in show, I was just thinking about it this week.
It's second to Hill House for me in Flanagan's Netflix shows.
Lola, I love your hoodie so much! I want one! I love The West Wing.
Short series suggestion: Mindhunter. It's phenomenal
Yes!!!!! Full disclosure, I haven't followed you both in a bit, but this is a huge treat and I'm so excited 😊
This is the first show I'm watching you react to since over a year. Happy see you again
Didn't expect this reaction, can't wait to see you guys experience this show that honestly changed a lot of the ways I think of life.
There's a new Mike Flanagan show coming, yes! It's The Fall of the House of Usher, based on a story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe
This is a good show. Glad you're watching.
I understand the importance of Patron polls, but if there's a show that you guys really wanna watch, I think u should just go for it a do a reaction series to it anyway. The Bear is an amazing show that I'm sure u both would love.
What a lovely surprise, I'm so happy 🥰
Glad you're reacting to this, I really enjoyed this show! Also, The Bear and Sandman are both so good!
Omg i was just thinking about this show. I didnt even know it was on your poll either
AAAAHHHHH I’m so excited y’all are doing Midnight Mass!
I wasn't expecting Midnight Mass would have such a large...mass of people that watched and enjoyed it. I thought it would just be like dust in the wind. Here one moment, gone the next like it never existed. Good series though.
One of my favorite Netflix shows
Omg yessss y’all gotta watch all of Mike Flanagans stuff
A Monsignor is a rank of Catholic priest in between a Parish Priest and a Bishop.
I think the dad was Eliott in E.T.
He is. He is wearing old man make up in this show to portait a man in his late 60s when i fact he was in his late 40s when he filmed the show.
omg i cannot WAIT for the finale
This show was overshadowed by Squid Game, when it released, I feel. Love this show and will be back for Firefly too, when you watch that 👍
So glad you two are watching this I loved this show
Midnight Mass hive, RISE!!
PS: I would LOVE for you guys to do The Bear. It is excellent.
Rewatch makes the show even better.
Wow a big surprise, this is one of my favourite shows in the last few years.
How much money can I give you to watch Firefly after you finish this?
This show is great, is not as heavy on the horror as the previous shows by Mike Flanagan, it's more like a drama with some horror elements throw in there. But it has some beautiful dialogue in it. Also, fun fact, the sheriff's look was inspired by Joel from TLOU, the actor that plays the sheriff (Rahul Kohli) and Mike Flanagan are both fans of the game.
One of my favourite miniseries’ of all time!
Mika Flanagan has said that he was inspired by his own history with alcoholism and his relationship with Catholicism as a kid when he wrote this story
So excited that you're starting this!
Black Mass and The Wire. I'm in Heaven.
black sails is in the poll??? OH MAH GAH!!!
I'm so happy this show won over the other, thank you patreon people ! Well to be honest it's not my favorite but at least I watched it haha, I adore you reactions but I haven't watch you girls in forever because I don't watch anyyyyy show you're currently reacting to ! I've missed watching you and I was something would come that I could finally watch again!
I just finished this show. Absolutely fantastic!
Big fan of this show! I ended up watching this last year at Easter, which turned out to be appropriate lol. Hope you do watch The Bear, it’s great! And…of course…Black Sails.
OHMYGOD BLACK SAILS IS AN OPTION???????' That's one of my favorite shows ever!!!!!! Girls, I've been watching your reactions since forever and I can tell you: Black Sails is right up your alley. You will love it.
I wonder why they don't want to watch Sandman. I feel like if they like this show, they would probably also like Sandman.
yessss was hoping you two would do midnight mass after the two haunting series!! excited to see what you think !
Oh man, you two are picking some good fucking shows right now. Midnight Mass is so damn good.
You two are so funny! I missed your reactions. I loooove that you're reacting to Midnight Mass 😍 (Ready or Not really is worth it!)
Oh Yes Migdnight Mass, I love this show
This is the best Stephen King story that Stephen King never wrote
Loved this show. Looking forward to you reaction to the upcoming developments
i really enjoy the discussion after about giving people second chances. i completely agree with it, but at the same time there are varying levels of degrees to it. it’s important to note that not everyone can be rehabilitated. some people have compulsions and behaviors that are too ingrained and which there is no successful treatment for. think serial killers or sexual abusers/assaulters/r*apists. canada has a better criminal justice system than the US…but w/ their system a serial killer could be released from prison in 25 years as that is their maximum sentence and there is no death penalty. it’s a complicated issue overall, but i do agree for most people like the character you discuss there should be a road and system for rehabilitation.
Yay I didn‘t expect this at all lol loved midnight mass but also can‘t remember much so I‘m looking forward to rewatching with you guys
Also I wanna see The Bear reactions aaaah it‘s so amazing I just rewatched the first season
OMG such a great a show !! your reactions are going to be amazing !!
Sandman was interesting, I hope you still get to it. I didn't read the comic, but as someone new to the story I liked it.
It has been a hell of a long time since they watched Bly Manor, two years! Actually feels much longer than that hahahaha
Yesss!!!!!!
Have you guys watched Fleabag? I would love to see you guys cry with that masterpiece of a show, as much as I did. lol
yesss this show is so good!! i'm so glad you're reacting to it!! :)
YES omg this is the one I was so excited for!!!
Ohhhh this is a nice surprise! I really liked this show ^^
No way I just started this show today and there they are reacting to It, HOW ?
I always give Lola and Milena’s videos a like even though they aren’t watching anything that I like right now and despite my heart being broken by the voters who selected this over Firefly. 🥺
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BANGER BANGER BANGER BANGER BANGER BANGER BANGER
I love this show so much
YES!
oh my god, now i realize that you haven't watched either of The Hauntings shows, which are extremely good, Mike Flanagan tends to use the same actors for his shows, but he writes their characters so different, they can flex their skills so much
sad that the Bear didnt win but so exited that you guys are watching this great show on to me its on par with the Left overs from HBO
Lol, you should guys should veto and just start The Bear because it's genuinely so so so good. Glad y'all are finishing up on the Flanaverse before his new show comes out. Midnight Mass was great, great themes and performances all round
YES
AMAZING SERIES!!
If you put Warrior Nun in your next poll I guarantee you it would win . The fandom is insane and we will flock to you :)
54:30 commenting this much I’ll prob get yeeted but it’s like 🦸🏻♀️ my years of Catholic school are paying off!
