Midnight, Texas Season 1 Episode 3 "Lemuel, Unchained" Review


A deadly nest of vampires arrives in Midnight, eager to reunite with Lem, Manfred suspects there's more to their arrival and joins forces with Olivia.

This was a really interesting episode that had some great moments but had kind of an odd feeling to it overall. I didn't quite like the idea of having these vampires coming to Midnight because even in the show they talk about how other vampires actively avoid coming to Midnight in fear of Lem but these vampires just walk in like they own the place so that was really weird. Then this episode did feel a bit off with them trying to include all of the main characters in some way and that kind of caused a very jumbled feeling to everything. I did really like how they used the safe havens like the church and Manfred and Fiji's houses as places to hide from the vampires because they all have a spell on them that prevents evil from crossing inside. It was really interesting to see how these vampires operated by having them not just go out and suck random peoples blood but instead have them take from people who volunteer themselves. I did really like how much of a pivotal role Olivia played in this episode in the goals to protect Lem. Then the final sort of battle between the people of Midnight and the vampires was really cool especially seeing what Manfred did to help everyone out. And just overall this was a really entertaining episode that did have a few rough moments around its edges.
