Midnight. Texas - TV Review

I can only speak of the pilot because at the time of writing it is all I have seen. Sometimes pilots can be slow as the story builds.

In the end, I could not wait to see what will happen next and learn more about the town of Midnight, Texas. So far, the acting is solid and the pilot leaves me feeling more will unfold. I think the pilot did a good job of introducing the characters and the town in letting you know there is more than meets the eye without delivering too much.

Midnight the remote Texas town where no one is who he or she are. From vampires, ghouls, witches, psychics and hit women, making Midnight a mysterious safe haven for those who are different and just strange. The town members some of whom are just normal folk sharing the same pressures from rowdy biker gangs, ever-suspicious cops and who knows what other delights will darken the doors of Midnight.

Dead granny and Manfred

We are yet to understand what is special about Midnight or its pasts, could it bring its own dangers. But for now, they band together forming a strong and unlikely family.

The story involves Manfred Bernardo (Francois Arnaud), a psychic on the run who, with the guidance of the ghost of his recently deceased grandmother, arrives in the small Texas town. As he tries to remain inconspicuous, he finds that the locals are very strange and more than a little suspicious of his presence and decides that he should try to keep to himself. That is when the body of a young woman is found on the shores of a local river. She is dead, though not wrapped in plastic, so I guess that is something. Manfred’s psychic abilities are utilized to find the murder weapon, and he soon finds that he cannot simply fade into the background.

Hottie Olivia

There is Lemuel, the polite vampire whose unusual abilities allow him to feed off emotional energy rather than blood although he is not averse to the odd sample. Fiji, the kindly witch with a talking cat named Mr. Snuggly and Joe, a fallen angel with wings tucked away in his back until needed. Hottie Olivia, a hothead fighter, weapons expert, and hit woman for hire but otherwise human and maybe Bodo who looks to have anger issues. Creek, a woman with an overbearing father looks to be the love interest for Manfred.

These are the main characters we have been introduced to so far and I hope fans of this gene of entertainment enjoy it as much as I did. The trailer for next week looks good but sometimes they can be deceiving.
