It will undoubtedly seem tame to staunch "True Blood" fans. But a few winks of humor and some good scares make Midnight, Texas more than you'd expect from a summer series on broadcast TV.
Mostly the show dutifully doles out a lot of the special effects viewers expect from a supernatural series. But it’s all noise and explosions of light with scant attention to character development or relationship building (beyond the one obvious romance), something “True Blood” got right early on.
It’s the tame version of something you grew tired of on HBO years ago. And that’s putting it politely. There’s no energy here--sexual, supernatural, mystery. It’s just remarkably flat despite a talented cast doing everything in their power to make it interesting.
