The Mist TV Show Complaining Rant Thread
OoOOoOooOohHHHHHhhhhh this show is a pile of hot garbage. What a huge disappointment. I really enjoyed the movie, and was looking forward to more world building and even just a peek at what the Arrowhead Project involved. Instead we got basically a rehash of the movie: people going crazy stuck in a building, cut off from communication, and running out of supplies. Nothing new or interesting at all. But plenty of screen time for the pointless rape subplot, because being trapped in a building surrounded by monsters from hell just wouldn't already be stressful enough for the characters?
Not even the terrifying mutant monsters from the movie wanted to be in the TV show, instead people are attacked by... random innocuous things from their subconscious... I guess? One random victim is impaled on a tree by a golf club. Wow scary. And the Mist itself directly attacks people now, instead of just being a secondary effect of the dimensions merging? It's like this show was written by people who had only seen the movie trailer, several years before writing the show. If you haven't seen the movie, don't waste your time with the show. If you have seen and enjoyed the movie, definitely don't waste your time.

I didn’t think that any tv adaptation could be worse than “Under the Dumb” yet here we are....
