Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I'll tell you why so serious

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This series lands right at a 7 for me.Honestly, I liked it for the most part.If you're able to make it through the first 3 episodes you'll most likely find the last 7 are a bit better.The series follows 3 main groups - A small group that starts at the police station; a larger group at the church; and the largest group at the mall.Eventually the first two groups wind up at the mall for different reasons of course.Of all the groups, the sanest come out of the police station, craziest at the church, and the people in the mall were written to be mostly paranoid and stupid. Throw in a smattering of other survivors here and there and there's the cast.Of all the actors I'm a bit partial to Dan Butler (aka Bulldog from Frazier) and Frances Conroy (from AHS). They both played their parts amazingly. There are some other strong actors as well. Personally I think almost every actor played their parts fairly well with the script they were given.Enter the problems: predictable situations, too much back story, and lots of dumb decisions. There was some suspense but the "attack" scenes were hit or miss. It's interesting how The Mist acts and how it kills it's victims. It's almost as if it kills people with their worst fears. In some cases it just torments but never kills. I didn't quite get the selective nature though. I guess if the series had been able to continue there would be more answers. The story line slowly begins to unravel but I guess we'll never really know. Being left in limbo makes watching this feels almost pointless, but if you want to be left guessing, or fill in your own answers, then knock yourself out!

This show packs in every social justice warrior topic within the first 5 minutes. Stephen King is really slipping and should focus on making good entertainment and focus less on politics.I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone.

While this show isn't technically horror like the film and story its based on it was interesting enough for me to keep watching. While Stephen King's stories are extremely hit or miss to me anyway I actually enjoyed getting to know the characters through what feels more like a long movie rather than a series. I'm unsure how long the concept can last as a series but it kept me entertained. With sci-fi mystery shows being a dime-a-dozen I'm not sure this one will be unforgettable. But I definitely think it's worth a shot!

I don't want to be rude, but you should find yourself a new line of work, entertainment is not what you are good at. Nothing like the movie from 2007. I don't remember when I was so frustrated watching a series. It was horrible but not the kind you at least have a good kick out of. I did finish the whole season though, I didn't think there was so much hope in me, till the last second. But you killed it all right. Can't blame you for trying. Just try something else next time.
