	Media	Author	Review
		Niv M. Sultan Slant	"The series uses the trappings of horror to explore the power of storytelling as a means of reckoning with the unfathomable. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Shannon Connellan Mashable	"Unafraid to talk about death, life, friendship, trauma, and love, The Midnight Club is a deeply moving horror series whose unique characters and their stories will stay with you long afterward"
		Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects	"Beyond its scares and mysteries, it acts as an intentional and continuous reclamation of the sick kid narrative, pushing beyond the surface to ask big questions about life, death, and the meaning we make from it"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"Not all of the stories contained in The Midnight Club work equally well, and a few purposely don’t really work at all. Collectively, however, they mount a compelling case for why stories matter"
		Nate Richard Collider	"A beautiful and haunting ode to the art of storytelling (...) Mike Flanagan's latest series may just be his most emotional outing to date.
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"'The Midnight Club' is so focused on hosting storytelling that it neglects to tell a good one overall, mixing the main storyline of ghosts and cults with an anthology of overlong short stories"
		Lauren Piester The Wrap	"Hauntingly beautiful (...) Flanagan has proven that he's equally as good at YA as he is at grown-up horror, and there are many more tales he could and should tell"
		Leila Latif IndieWire	"This teen horror is like a morbid 'Breakfast Club' (...) Given that death was assured from the start, it’s a shame The Midnight Club refuses to embrace the power of a dignified end. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 10)"
		Al Horner Empire	"A series that takes ambitious excursions down narrative side streets, en route to a final destination that cuts to the core of our cultural fears and fixations around death. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Manuel Betancourt AV Club	"An engaging, if uneven, YA series (...) As an October Netflix offering for those famished for some Flanagan horror fare, 'The Midnight Club' is a worthy binge-watch"
		Liam Mathews TV Guide	"It's warm-hearted drama about people facing the unimaginable with courage and dignity thanks to the help of their chosen family. It's empathetic, fun, and even a little bit funny"
		Amelia Emberwing IGN	Mike Flanagan is a master of death and grief (...) Unfortunately, the more threads the club members pull, the weaker the story gets, culminating in an unsatisfying finale"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"The mix of personal stories among the teens has the power to resonate with anyone, but one suspects this show will find its most attentive audience among high-schoolers with stiff constitutions and strong nerves"
		Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"'The Midnight Club' is inert and dull, lacking any genuine frights (plenty of jump scares, though). Worse, it has a young cast who almost all fail to deliver across the board."
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"A celebration of love and life (...) The series has 10 episodes and for me, the episodes each deliver something special. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Benson is an engaging lead, Rigney is very charismatic, and Codd is a captivating actress. When they are allowed to bounce their very different characters off each other, [it] is at its best (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Lacy Baugher Paste Magazine	"A surprisingly thoughtful rumination on what it means to die, although its deeper truths come wrapped in the bright candy coating of a teen drama."
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"It is sometimes messy and takes a while to find its identity (...) But some affecting performances and careful narrative construction give 'The Midnight Club' a powerful finish that resonates (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ethan Warren Polygon	"A winning formula for the target audience of teens (if not preteens), who will be well served by the thoroughly greased aesthetic gears of the Flanagan/Netflix partnership"
		Shelagh Rowan-Legg Screen Anarchy	"The cast is strong, and the the stories they tell feel like those we all could make up in front of the roaring fire that threatens to devore us all"
