C 1 Aug 5 its realy good i dont see why ppl are saying its bad the only thing i hated are the guns thay didnt use them that much but the show was good maybe its cuz ppl watched it back in 2017 and in 2025 ppl see it good See more Hughe J @Hughe Jul 29 The Mist series was a television show released in 2017 and is very loosely based on the short story of the same name written by Stephen King. The show is set in Bridgeville Maine where a mist has covered the town and people that go into the mist die. People get trapped in various locations, see scary apparitions, go crazy, or start killing each other. Unlike the book it's implied that the mist is actually killing people instead of the monsters inside of it but we do get to see a spider in a jar halfway through the season, wow. The show is dark, as in somebody please turn on a light switch, the characters are unlikeable, and the plot is boring. Frank Darabont's movie version of The Mist released ten years earlier set up this world so much better in every way. As a fan of that movie, and King's short story it's based on, this series just left me disappointed.

See more Merry Meri Jul 12 Spoilers! The incest plotline? I don't understand why that was necessary after showing Jay and Alex bonding and making their relationship likeable to the audience. It was extremely ridiculous. Not only that but Eve was also doing something Kevin had told her not to do after he had allegedly died. "We can't tell her I'm not the father." Then the moment he passes she finds her opportunity and takes it. See more Mark C Mar 20 I think it’s less about the Mist, and more about pushing its own agenda. It wasn’t long before white entitlement and gender free love were introduced. Not sure that was part of the book. Just more modern day messaging most people are sick of See more Marco L @decatur555 02/20/2025 (CASTELLANO) Desde el primer episodio, La niebla deja claro que no está a la altura del libro de Stephen King ni de la película de Frank Darabont. En lugar de construir un ambiente opresivo donde la niebla sea un verdadero enemigo, la serie se pierde en conflictos personales y personajes que no generan ningún interés. Lo que en el material original era una historia angustiante sobre el miedo y la supervivencia, aquí se convierte en un drama desordenado que no engancha. Los personajes toman decisiones absurdas, la tensión nunca llega a despegar y, lo peor de todo, la niebla pasa a un segundo plano. Se supone que debería ser el centro del terror, pero la serie la trata como un simple decorado mientras se enreda en tramas secundarias que no llevan a ninguna parte. Hay algún momento puntual que podría haber funcionado mejor si el resto estuviera bien construido, pero son chispazos en un conjunto bastante pobre. Al final, La niebla se siente como una oportunidad completamente desaprovechada. No genera miedo, no engancha y, lo que es peor, no tiene la esencia del libro. Una serie olvidable que, lejos de mejorar la historia original, la diluye en un mar de decisiones erróneas. (ENGLISH) From the very first episode, The Mist makes it clear that it doesn’t live up to Stephen King’s novel or Frank Darabont’s film. Instead of building an oppressive atmosphere where the mist feels like a real threat, the series gets lost in personal conflicts and uninteresting characters. What was originally a gripping story about fear and survival turns into a messy drama that fails to engage. The characters make absurd decisions, the tension never really builds, and worst of all, the mist itself becomes secondary. It’s supposed to be the core of the horror, yet the series treats it like mere background while getting tangled in pointless subplots. There are a few moments that could have worked better if the rest had been properly developed, but they are isolated sparks in an otherwise weak execution. In the end, The Mist feels like a completely wasted opportunity. It’s not scary, it’s not engaging, and worst of all, it lacks the essence of the book. A forgettable series that, instead of enhancing the original story, dilutes it in a sea of bad choices. See more Read all reviews
