10 Best TV Shows Like Midnight Mass

6. Castle Rock

Evil 2019
Hulu

Stephen King is no stranger to the realm of blood, fangs, and murder, and Castle Rock weaves a tapestry of some of the writer's most revered works. Consequently, the Hulu series cultivates a sense of mystery, unearthing secrets from the most consistent source of horror - people. Both Midnight Mass and Castle Rock are typified by their secrets; skeletons in the cupboard that simmer just beneath the surface. As a viewer, you are tasked with unraveling these long-buried mysteries before they return to wreak havoc.

Castle Rock tasks itself with bringing the villains to the foreground that lay dormant inside of us all. Murder, violence, self-loathing - all ramifications for the most disturbing proclivities of the human psyche. Without spoiling the entire show, Castle Rock traces outlines of the kind of killers that work from nine to five. Even though the show deals less with the explicitly undead than Midnight Mass, it too cultivates a sense of dread, making you second guess how well you truly know your next-door neighbours.

Contrasting Midnight Mass, Castle Rock dips into discussions of morality whilst doing little preaching (pun fully intended). Supplementing this is a tidal wave of chills and thrills that will put your favourite true-crime podcast to shame. Worth the watch? Definitely.
