10 Best TV Shows Like Midnight Mass

7. Supernatural

Evil 2019
The CW

Take this entry with a grain of salt. The long-running CW saga, Supernatural, may polarize some since its quality has a tendency to rise and fall over the seasons. With that said, several episodes and even entire seasons (particularly earlier ones) may yet entertain fans of Midnight Mass. Supernatural possesses a broader scope, but many of the core overtones are congruous.

If you liked the exploration of religion in Midnight Mass then you’re in luck. As well as plenty of vampire appearances, Supernatural goes so far as to spend whole seasons directly interacting with biblical figures. Though it may at times contort and reduce the source content, Supernatural's foray into religious horror is nothing if not extensive. While Flanagan used religious text and symbolism to add dimension to the terror of vampirism, Supernatural will literally take you to heaven, hell, and everywhere in-between.

A coincidental similarity between the two shows is also present in how both feature arcs centering around addiction. At one point in Supernatural, one of the show’s co-protagonists goes through a spat of addictively drinking demon blood. It doesn’t take a detective to see the parallels this draws with Riley Flynn’s character-arc in Midnight Mass. Though this is just a specific example, take it as a guarantee that watching Supernatural will yield rewards for the patient viewer.

Then again, with a whopping 15 seasons, you may want to just stick to the highlights.
