I have watched my share of series and I can say this on was decent regardless of the majority of the reviews. The story is great towards the end of the season. I hope there will be a season 2 because they left a lot of unanswered questions.

A mist has descended upon the town of Bridgeville, Maine and something inside is killing people. Bryan Hunt in military uniform tries to warn the police but he's locked up by chief Heisel on suspicion of being intoxicated. An unstable Mia Lambert is the other prisoner. The Copeland family is split between the police station and the mall.I do like the 2007 movie but that movie's biggest moment is its shocking ending. Presumably, that cannot be done on the TV show unless it intends to ends quickly. When it does suicides early, they're unearned emotionally and it lacks any shock value. The problem starts with the characters. None of them are likeable. Everybody has some deep dark secret or other crazy characteristics. Their actions are questionable. A guy is willy nilly letting out prisoners without authorization and that's before it gets crazy. Drawing lot is silly especially only a few people would know the location of the radio and how to use it. It makes little sense to send random strangers stumbling into the office searching for the thing and why aren't people waiting for them on the other side of the door? I know why. They would hear the gunshot and the writers needed to connect the dots no matter how ugly the line. Almost none of the characters make sense unless the mist turns them into non-sense. That's certainly possible but it would leave nobody with rooting interest. They want the girl to be that but she is too infuriating to be appealing. I don't care about anybody and I don't care about their secrets.The show still has the creature feature aspect. It should have started with a scary horror scene at the base but it meanders around with a slow reveal of some teenage drama. Stranger Things started with a monster at the base and that show does OK. It's a standard move which this show fails to understand. The start is off-putting, boring, and tiresome. As for the creatures, the small insects come with certain issues and the show leaves some nagging questions about the logic of this world. The smoke monsters are problematic for different reason. Neither are satisfying although not bad enough to be decisive. The logic of people is so upside down that the crazy lady actually makes sense. The creature feature aspect gets morphed into body horrors territory. I can roll with all these differences if I actually cared about anybody in here.

Not having read the novel, but having seen the movie then I was somewhat familiar with the concept of the series. But I still decided to sit down and watch it.Sadly there was just one season of the series, and the show does end in a very anti-climatic manner.The characters in the series were nicely fleshed out. They were quite well detailed and portrayed. And there were lots of good interactions between the numerous characters throughout the series. The actors and actresses were doing great jobs in bringing their roles and characters to life on the screen.However, I was expecting to see the huge tentacled creatures that were in the movie, but they didn't make an appearance in the TV series. Which was somewhat of a disappointment to me."The Mist", all in all, is an entertaining series, but hardly an outstanding show among the numerous other horror inspired TV series available.

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.
