Review of The Mist

The Mist series started out bad. By the end of the first episode I was sorely disappointed.It seemed like it was playing out like a lifetime movie after school special.But lets skip ahead.The second episode kicked a** and now im hooked.I thought the drama between the characters would ruin the "horror" aspect of the series.I didn't like the changes from the movie/book.However did I see a cameo by the religious fanatic lady in episode 2? Not the mother with her son who was a nasty bitch but another older lady who made a funny face when the main character mom tells off the bitch.I cant recall names of characters so im referring to them as main character mom and nasty bitch mom ,etc.

By the end of the second episode i was beginning to see the potential this series has.My favorite character is the black military man who befriends the drug addict lady.She is my second favorite character.

Mysteries abound,there is just enough gore to keep me thrilled and i can only see this getting better IF the producers and directors don't insult our intelligence with a super low budget and lame overdone drama.

The woman who lost her husband is another favorite of mine.The end of episode two when they drink wine in the church to her husbands memory...nicely done....

So im happy to discover this series does not have to be boring or horrible.It is capable of being engaging,suspenseful and if you have half a conscience..you will like the characters.
