Was pretty excited to hear they were turning this into a show, started watching it and less than 10 minutes in I already started to dislike the characters. 30 minutes in and I was hoping the mist would kill everyone and then they'd introduce a bunch of new likeable characters. Going to try one more episode. It's a shame. This looks like another Under The Dome.

Also I predict the girl was raped by her emo friend. Could be wrong but the show seems so badly written I'm willing to bet it's equally as predictable.

With you on all of that, I saved a few episodes thinking it would be a nice chunk of entertainment for some day and I've just put my self to sleep in the second episode(supposed to watch up til ep5 ha) with all the crappy characters and retardism, you know doing the wrong thing, lying and keeping helpful info from the cutoff people and the softy BS with some of the characters storylines. This has ruined one of my favorite films, how anyone can f'k that up is beyond me, but they really did. I'll keep trying to get into it a couple times, but if it keeps putting me to sleep in the middle of the day it will have to go

There is precisely ZERO atmosphere, how it's possible to do a series like The Mist and come up empty in that department is just inconceivable.

Under the Dumb 2.0 is a good re-titling

SO true.

I totally agree.

I thought it was bad enough when the hospital parked Kevin's brother in a hospital bed with a length of rebar in his gut and told him he would just die of infection without giving him so much as an antibiotic or painkiller in an IV. But when Kevin attempted to finish surgery on him by stuffing him with paper towels and stapling that all together I howled. Bounty! It's the quicker picker-upper. The leeches, or slugs, whatever those things were had a taste for the AH brother and didn't go for Kevin, but how could Kevin know that? He didn't jump into any kind of action. I would've been a lot quicker to just move everyone away from the sweet spot on the ceiling that the brother conveniently tumbled under. Push him along on the floor if you have to, anything. Yeah, Under the Dumb 2.0 is a good one for this show.

Ah what? The dude/dudette merely said:

Yeah, almost seems worse than Under the Dome. I'm a huge King fan but after watching a bit of episodes 1 and 2, this clearly isn't for me. Other than the title and the "mist", it really seems to have little to do with the story.

And he/she was dead on with that evaluation so I'll assume you were joking, if not get help, soon, professional help not LSD.

@JD Lol I wasn't replying to his comment, just making a reference to his awesome name. Check out the movie Brain Damage for more info on Aylmer.
