The long weekend calls for a miniseries — just long enough to binge, but short enough to finish before the holiday ends. We recommend Midnight Mass, a seven-episode horror miniseries that centers on a young priest arriving at a fishing village in a small, isolated island, bringing with him all sorts of “miraculous” and supernatural events. The miniseries is written, directed, and produced by Mike Flanagan. You can catch it on Netflix.

⚽ Did you enjoy last night’s Champions League matches? (Considering there were 35 goals in eight matches, that’s an entirely hypothetical question.)

Coming up this evening: Dynamo Kiev v. Barcelona and RB Salzburg v. Wolfsburg at 6:45pm, as well as Bayern Munich v. Benfica; Chelsea v. Malmö; Juventus v. Zenit; Manchester United v. Atlanta; Lille v. Sevilla; and Young Boys v. Villarreal at 9pm.

Closer to home, Zamalek will face Kenya’s Tusker on Friday at 7pm in the CAF Champions League, while Al Ahly goes head-to-head with Nigeria’s USGN at 6pm on Saturday.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

From Warholian pop art to the comics that helped inspire it: Professional Marvel superfan Douglas Wolk has read all 27k Marvel comic books in existence — and brings what he discovered in those 500k pages of source material to new book All of the Marvels: A journey to the Ends of the Biggest Story Ever Told. Wolk tries to figure out why we love Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men and other enduring Marvel protagonists so much — and what their winding story says about the last sixty years of Western pop culture. Dominican-American author Junot Díaz calls the book “nimble, learned, funny and sincere” in a review for the NYT.
