VAN HELSING SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 DYLAN BURN TV
This week looks great for fans of good television, with a host of TV shows getting the Blu-ray treatment. Fighting injustice, Person of Interest-style: it's serious business. A bit of a spoiler: The cliff from which the couple’s tale hangs in the finale is a stunning one… or, it would be, were it ever to find resolution.From crime-fighting Jesus to gimp-suit sex, from self-destructive lawyers to sword-fighting Snow White - these are the Blu-rays that you should be buying. And wow, the slow-burn love story between Parisa Fitz-Henley’s Fiji and Dylan Bruce’s Bobo in Season 1 was at once achingly sweet and blisteringly hot… and it only got better/more complicated in the sophomore run. Manfred is a Dumpster fire of a hero whose sassy (albeit dead) grandma has to show up from time to time to set him straight. Its gay main character - Jason Lewis’ Joe -is the town’s oft-referenced moral compass. The show features multiple interracial couples. Know what else makes me a little verklempt? The fact that the cancellation means so many people will miss out on the little details that make Midnight so damn good. (Though, as of the end of the episode, he’s real dead.) Did the moment make me cry, nonetheless? Absolutely. You’re not alone.” Was I dubious that Manfred was actually going to bite it with one more installment left in the supernatural season? Yes. “Look at me,” Olivia said through her tears. That’s thanks to the series’ writing team, which is great at nailing small-yet-important moments, and the excellent cast, whose chemistry gives the show a warmth and cohesion that ranks right up there with the ensemble work in Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Grimm.ĭuring the aforementioned beheading, Arielle Kebbel’s Olivia and Dylan Bruce’s Bobo pleaded with Francois Arnaud’s doomed Manfred to keep his eyes on them as he died. Yet for me, the way the members of Midnight‘s core group rally around each other trumps all. Or, as believable as floating sex and soul-butterflies that live in people’s chests can look.) (I can happily report that things look much more believable in Season 2. And third, those Season 1 effects really can’t be mocked enough: Indeed, they were a huge part of why my colleague Dave Nemetz panned the premiere back in 2017. Second, the source material hews close enough to Harris’ other big television adaptation - True Blood - to draw comparisons, but not close enough to automatically suck in those who worship at the altar of Sookie Stackhouse. (Seriously: Last week’s penultimate episode featured incestuous ur-witches, an angel who voluntarily cut off his own wings in grief, and the beheading of the series’ main character.) The storytelling is quick and dirty, with a “yeah, we know, but let’s just go with this” zeal that reminds me of Sleepy Hollow‘s early days. I’ll be the first to admit that Midnight isn’t for everybody, even if you’re someone who enjoys cavorting among the Angels and the Salvatores of the TV world. I was not compensated in any way for that duty.) (Full disclosure: The show asked me to moderate its New York Comic Con 2018 panel, which I did with gusto. Among Midnight‘s denizens are Manfred, a psychic medium Fiji, a witch Lem, a vampire Joe, an angel and Olivia, an assassin-for-hire. The town therefore has a mystical energy that attracts supernatural beings, many of whom have put down roots, charmed by the community’s tendency to accept outsiders, no questions asked.
VAN HELSING SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 DYLAN BURN SERIES
And because one of the show’s recurring themes is about how you always have to push on, even when things look bleak, I couldn’t let the series end without trying to bring a few more of you weirdos into the Midnight flock.įor the uninitiated, a quick catch-up: Midnight is a tiny Lone Star hamlet where the veil between our reality and the realm of the dead is quite thin. Tonight’s episode (8/7c), sadly, really is the end of that world: Though the show eventually received a Season 2 renewal, NBC cancelled Midnight, Texas on Friday, meaning that the season-ender will have to serve as the series finale, as well.

“The series built a world quickly, and well,” I tweeted at the time, “and it’s a world I like being in.” And though I didn’t have a lot of hope, I didn’t want to see Midnight end.
