Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Vows We Have Made (2021)
Satisfying Ending - Spoiler Alert
Spoiler Alert: A touching and fitting end to the series. Dangling storylines are wrapped up, things unsaid are expressed, relationships strengthened, and one last tear jerker postal story to tie everything together. The background narrative clearly has an "all's well that ends well" feeling of finality. "It is what we do. It is what we love. It is who we are. And, we are forever the Postables." Sigh. I'll miss them.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Unique Perspective
I was really struck by the strong parallels between excerpts from the Bible and vampire lore. I wonder if that's where the idea of vampires originated. Like many, I was brought up Catholic, went to Catechism classes, never really read the Bible, and haven't been a practicing Catholic since I was19. This was such an interesting story of religious misinterpretation (maybe?), corruption, and the addictive nature of absolute power. There was gore too (not my favorite thing to be honest), and certainly the horror movie element, but the foundation was the religious aspect. I did tire of the l-o-n-g sermon monologues after a while and found myself fast forwarding through them near the end. Kudos to Hamish Linklater and Samatha Sloyan for their Emmy worthy performances. All-in-all, a show worthy of your time.
