Episode 8 was definitely the standout, and one of the many reasons why, despite its flaws, this show is still absolutely worth watching.

I’m a big fan of Flanagan’s work, and while I did enjoy this series, it certainly felt like a weaker outing for him.
I loved the standalone anthology stories, but the overarching storyline wasn’t anything remarkable. As the article says, it set up so many mysteries and answered pretty much none of them, in hope of luring us back for a season 2 that might never happen. The fun of Flanagan’s work is usually seeing these mysteries build up and then seeing how he cleverly resolves them all. The Midnight Club didn’t do that.
Flanagan’s other shows are some of the best television I’ve ever seen. The Midnight Club on the other hand was still good fun, but nothing remarkable.

Shame they’re not bringing Jon Cryer back, I really liked his take, but I understand them wanting to seperate the show from what came before. Cryer was a great Luthor, but I’m sure Cudlitz will be too.
