Abstract

Despite the relative accuracy in the depiction of Muslims in the drama-horror miniseries Midnight Mass (2021), it is still lacking in some aspects that detract from its relatively respectful depictions of Muslims. Thus, the researcher aimed to discover how the miniseries depicts and constructs Muslims. Therefore, the researcher utilizes the qualitative descriptive method and constructionist approach in the theory of representation by Stuart Hall to better understand how the miniseries represent and construct the Muslim main characters. The researchers found that the miniseries depicted Muslims in an accurate and respectful way and genuinely tried to create a relatable, positive and respectful depiction of Muslims in America. The researcher also finds that in trying to depict Muslims in a positive light by projecting western ideals and values on them, the creators of the miniseries intentionally or unintentionally cast their depiction of Muslims in a bad light. The final findings of the researcher are that the miniseries, at the end of the day, wanted to normalize the good depiction of Muslim-Americans so that they would be viewed and recognized and finally accepted as the way Muslims are. Finally, the researcher recommends that this research, if possible, be explored further through the usage of other theories relevant to the depiction of Muslims in Midnight Mass (2021).
