Honestly as much as I loved Hamish as the priest, Sam who played Bev takes the cake for best performance for me. Jesus I had such intense reactions to her, idk if I've ever wanted a character to be murdered so much lmao and then I was like wow, this actress is doing an outstanding job I don't see enough people talking about her
When Bev killed his dog I was hugging my pitbull and crying like a baby lol. You’re right, every single scene he was in was amazing, I’ve also been through AA and met many people like him and I am one of them myself so I honestly felt like I was in the room in some of those meeting scenes.
Samantha Sloyan and Hamish Linklater deserve to be recognized in award season. And now in a more superfluos comment: is it me or does Kate Siegel looks incredibly perfect in this interview?
I really hope Samantha gets the recognition she deserves for how well she portrayed Bev. SPOILER ALERT: I was fuming during the scene in the classroom where the sheriff expresses his concerns with handing out bibles at school and she goes batshit xenophobic and gaslights him and then people fucking clap in agreement. Also, props to Mike Flanagan and Rahul Kohli for the genuinely good and clearly researched representation of the majority of Muslims. It's nice to see Islam in a relatable way.
Sam Sloyan has been in a lot of Flanagan material, but this show, and especially this scene, genuinely made me hate a character. I think it goes to show the quality of the cast Mike Flanagan leans on. Now, let’s talk about Robert Longstreet…
I don't think that's gaslighting, that's simply an argument and everyone should be able to convey their opinions in public forum. What I find distateful in that scene is how Bev doesn't let anyone else speak. Gaslighting is more personal in relationship setting which she also definitely does. The thing is, I think she believes she's doing the righteous thing all the time, it all stems from what I call religious panic. Extreme fear of going to hell, or be a bad person, it makes people unable to introspect and be honest about their mistakes. She's a pitiful delusional person.
@@sakaya9878 Did it make you feel a little better at the end, when Hassan and Ali find each other and she dies alone and terrified? Cause that put such a smile on my face.
It took me 6 months to be okay after Haunting of Hill House. Bly Manor ripped my heart out. But Midnight Mass has literally been on my mind since I finished it. My soul felt tied tho this show. It’s a masterpiece. The monologues were delivered beautifully from everyone. This will be a show that I study for a while.
@@RainHavok1111 You might wanna look up what figure of speech means. "Literally" is, a lot of times, used as sort of a hyperbolic synonym for "very often". Plus, something can, indeed, be on your mind *literally* all the time, because it can always be in the back of your head.
Am I the only one who loved Zach's acting, specially his face expression? Like, whenever the camera focused on his face, those expressions of hiding all his feels in the inside cause he was not able to let them out cause he never felt like he fit in, man, that face. That's what I call acting
Hamish was really good. Even though he unleashed this thing on the town and you kind of hate his blind dogma, he was able to convey the overriding belief what he was doing was good. That he’d convinced himself it was a godly act. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The show was great because in many ways, the demon was secondary. The character’s interpretations of the events, that was more the story than the events themselves.
I kept thinking "these people are amazing actors" except when Samantha was on screen. I didn't even think of the acting with her. She WAS that character. Never once did I see the acting involved. Wow!
Hamish Linklater deserves an award for his performance. He literally made the show. He is EXACTLY like how priests act in life. The way he always quotes the bible and honestly I loved how he became a protagonist at the end of the show. He throws his Priest collar away and says "Forgive me?" That was epic. What an actor! Edit: I would know as I talked to many priests when I was younger, trying to find my faith. This was before I became a "Mainline" Christian with various different beliefs, anyway, they all were like that. They would answer my questions with quotes or stories from the bible and use them to draw comparisons to my situations. They really do act like that.
Emmy noms for Father Paul and Bev please because their performances were on an entirely other level! Everyone gave amazing performances but these 2 deserve to be huge stars after this.
I had that with Game of Thrones back with seasons 1-3 😂 The stress of the good characters getting killed in the show were honestly getting to me so I had to look up “fun, cast” videos
Me!! I have to watch these videos so that I can disconnect with the fear or any other intense (mostly negative) emotion that comes with watching the show! Glad to know we are many♡
Beverly took the cake for me. Oh my gosh I was praying to God that the director wouldn’t short change and denied me the liberty of watching Beverly burn to ashes. And what I love the most is the way in which the burns started from the face. When the singing stops and you see their faces burning off and the silence that follows afterwards, goosebumps chills
Yes! Bev Keane was the absolute worse😩 A wolf in sheep's clothing. She triggered a flashback of this awful Sunday school teacher I had named Sister McClellan. She was an absolute hateful zealot just like Bev 🤬
Omg, the actress who play Bev was really outstanding! Im so full of hatred over her the whole time! She was so convincing! Ps. I just realize that she's also the Wife of Steve Crain in the Hunting of Hill House 🤯 terrific actress!
I never felt the desire to reach the screen and slap a character so hard but Beverly Keane made me feel that way. Samantha Sloyan was amazing, and she deserves an Emmy for this.
I hope Samantha gets nominated and wins something for this show because she was incredible and really was the most unsettling part of the series. Hamish should be nominated too because he played all the nuances of that part flawlessly.
The priest and Bev were absolute standouts in this series. That actor who played Mr Dudley in Hill house is also pretty dang good. I coulda watched him watch tv for 7 hours. Also Annabeth Gish hasnt aged in 20 years someone expose her to sunlight just to make sure.
Amazing miniseries! Slow burn horror thriller with messages of religious faith, grief, forgiveness, and more with incredible acting. Ep 6 and 7 are the BEST and filled with terror and heart. Highly recommend!!
Samantha deserves all the awards for playing Bev. What an amazing performance, I really wanted to break my TV after that classroom scene with the sheriff. Incredible acting
I watched it for Kate I adore her and then ended up feeling so deeply for Zach ... he was so intense that his every single smile was precious. And then towards the end I realised it was Hamish who intrigued me the most. It’s been 4 days since I watched it and It’s still very much on my mind. ♥️
Im so glad to see "Bev" all happy, attractive, and pretty! Hamish Linklater is such a wonderful actor and I hope this role opens up more dramatic opportunities for him. He was the only thing I liked in the New/Old Christine tv show and its great to see him expanding his craft. He was perfect in this role.
This is a special series. It's rare that a story comes together like this in a perfect storm of story, actors, directors, and timing. Sheer perfection is Midnight Mass.
@@TaxemicFanatic agreed. I didn’t feel an attachment to the characters in those other series that l did to this one. The story here was much deeper, more layered and real to me.
@@TaxemicFanatic this actually triggered me. This show ain't got shit on Hill House. Your allowed to have your own opinion and everything.... despite how wrong it is.
Okay so I have a lot of intellectual things to say about this show. But Hamish is sooooo sexy. In this role and just in general. The exact charisma they need for this role.
Flanagan is absolutely my favorite TV show writer EVER! And these actors... oh, man, these folks are genius in what they do. Amazing acting! Midnight Mass is an easy 10/10
The person who played Bev literally become the personage to the point that it’s hard to recognize her in the interview as the same person… That’s pushing the limits…
Samantha Sloyan went from being the sweetest Grey’s Anatomyishhhhh character to HOLY MOLYYYYYY! Woah woah woah! I almost feel like she had to memorize the Bible for this 🤣🤣🤣🤣amazing just amazing!!!
Bev’s acting was amazing and totally on point, BUT the Priests and Riley’s monologues were my favorite parts of the series. They had the perfect voice and depiction of the character and what you would expect them to be in that moment. Sad to see the series end, but glad it was created!
I love how Samantha is able to transform into the role of Bev Keene, never have I ever hated a character being played by an attractive actress more than hers. Hoping she gets recognition!
It has been a very very long time since I have seen such incredible performances on TV reunite on one show. Father Paul and Bev Keane were just truly outstanding characters played so incredibly well. Emmy noms should be thrown their way.
Amazing performances by all, especially Hamish and Sam -- so intense! The writing was excellent as well. I love all you guys -- getting ready to watch Midnight Mass a second time!
Kate Siegel getting that bag! I knew she was a great actress but this show really confirmed it. I was really mesmerized by her in this series. She’s the kind of actress that once you find out out she’s in it you gotta watch it. I definitely look forward to seeing the next thing she’s starring in which I heard was coming up soon!
Bev reminded me of Marcia Gay Harden's character in "The Mist". Just finished "Midnight Mass" last night and this was the best show i've seen in a while. Gave me chills at times.
Love that Mike Flanagan just hired the same people on his movies and tv series,and I love that even Kate Siegel is Mike's wife but they didn't put her on a leading role and just put her there as supporting actress but you just learn to love her characters.Awesome couple.
Samantha sloyan needs an Emmy for her acting as Beverly Keene. She was phenomenal and Kate Siegel has been doing some real good work lately plus she is so good when it comes to delivering monologues.
I’ve loved Hamish since I met him back in the day. He was the best Hamlet I’ve ever seen, and I saw Kenneth Branagh do it. So glad he’s getting attention finally.
Kristen Leeman, you are amazing! You are the best portrayal of a mom character. I adored your portrayal. Everyone was great. I just watched the series and its unbelievable!
The detail in this show was incredible. Like Bev querying Father Paul about the wrong colour chasuble, or Father Paul explaining he prefers the "old" (pre 2008) translation over the "new" one because it's nicer, like seriously, how many viewers would have actually noticed that he was using the "wrong" translation anyway? and the depictions of mass being celebrated which is exactly how it really happens. In most TV shows church scenes are all over the show. Crucifixes hanging in evangelical Protestant churches etc.
I had only seen him in the Christine Show, could have never imaginehim portray this character so masterfully. Need to see more of him because the range 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Incredible actors, love them all in other projects. Can see a few emmy nominations. Also wow, Anabeth Gish is ageless. Love her since the X Files and she has barely aged a day!
Just finished Binge Watching Midnight Mass WOW !!!! So Creepy !!! So Bizare !!! Loved all of it !!! Love listening to the Actors Comments !!! Great Job Guys !!!!
I missed this show upon its initial release and only just found out about it in the last week. This show has to be my favorite Netflix production they've produced!
Omg I just finished to watched the last one tonight, I couldn’t stop crying lol this show is sick ❤️ . Every character played their their role so good , I have no words for how much I love the show wowwwwwwww , to me everyone deserve an Oscar ... the soundtrack is my must have 😊❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
