Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterThe fact that Mike Flanagan hasn’t been nominated for an Emmy is proof that the Television Academy still doesn’t take horror seriously.

And if he doesn’t get a nom for Netflix’s “Midnight Mass,” it’s an indication that maybe they never will.Starring Flanagan’s wife and frequent collaborator, Kate Siegel, alongside Hamish Linklater, Zach Gilford, Rahul Kohli and Samantha Sloyan, the seven-episode miniseries tells the story of a little town called Crockett Island and how the people who live there are affected by the blessing and curse of a new priest.The show is an exploration of faith (through a slate of characters that slide the scale from moderate to fanatic), addiction (to more than just physical substances), forgiveness (of oneself and others) and, yes, the supernatural.

It wouldn’t be a Flanagan title if it didn’t use otherworldly horror elements to study the commonplace, and in “Midnight Mass,” Flanagan shifts from the ghosts that plagued his beloved “The Haunting of Hill House” and “The Haunting of Bly Manor” series to an angel.

This heavenly creature is almost exactly as it’s described in the Bible, and that’s what Flanagan used to make it so terrifying.
