Midnight, Texas Trailer: NBC's New Drama From Charlaine Harris is the Ultimate Freak Show — Watch (http://tvline.com/2017/03/20/midnight-texas-trailer-charlaine-harris-nbc-drama-video/)
Too bad it's not on HBO - but it looks like it's worth giving a try - especially when I like a lot of the actors in the cast...
-
Dylan Bruce has done rather well since his days on As The World Turns.
-
Yes, indeed!! I really enjoyed his character on Orphan Black. Even though at time he was quite underhanded, it was fun to see Dylan in that type of role.[spoiler]But then his character ultimately did redeem himself...[/spoiler]

Midnight, Texas cast teases plenty of 'zonking' ahead (http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/24/midnight-texas-interview-comic-con/)
Quite a few actors that I like are in this show, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll bring to it...
And be sure to watch the video...
-
Just saw Midnight Texas... where I had nothing but trouble sitting thru the first episode of Legion, I can't say the same for Midnight. - ( maybe for me it's the difference between superhero and supernatural...dunno). As a fan of True Blood, there were lots of similarities as expected but like True Blood was almost glamored watching. It will be interesting to see how commercial interruptions and network censoring vs. HBO will come into play (in a way creative freedom can bring laziness in the writing as True Blood showed towards the last couple of seasons with just endless f bombs being thrown for no reason.) Will have to see where the ratings go and how much support NBC provides. MB is right to be skeptical.

Ratings: Midnight, Texas Dips in Week 2, ... (http://tvline.com/2017/08/01/midnight-texas-ratings-episode-2/)
No surprise there since every show dips. But the good thing is:
"Midnight, Texas delivered 3.3 million total viewers and a 0.8 demo rating in Week 2, dipping just 8 percent and one tenth from its premiere. That said, NBC notes that the 0.8 marks the second-highest rating for any broadcast drama this summer so far."
I haven't watched the second ep yet - and I'm sure there are plenty of others like myself who DVR'd it rather than watched it live...
-
I did watch episode 2 last night and thought it was very good. I think the key is whether or not you were a fan of True Blood. The show certainly feels like a Texas True Blood spin-off...so for me I like it fine. But, if you didn't like or watch True Blood, I can see the viewer would have a difficult time with this show. Plus unlike True Blood which introduced the various supernatural elements gradually, Midnight threw in everything but the kitchen sink right from the get go. We'll see where the ratings head from here.
-
I just finished watching the second ep, and I enjoyed it as well. Although, during the first ep I had no inkling of just how foolish the female deputy was going to turn out to be - and that was pretty foolish!
You may be right when it comes to your theory about True Blood fans. But being a TB fan, I suppose I can't really judge if it makes a difference or not...

"NBC will be splitting up its two-hour episode of American Ninja Warrior, with the first half airing from 8/7c to 9/8c, and the second half airing at 9:30/8:30c once Trump is done talking. Midnight, Texas will be pushed back closer to its namesake, to 10:30/9:30c."
It's great that NBC has told us beforehand...

As for this week's Fast Overnights:
