I'm a little late to the game when it comes to watching The Mist on Netflix, so I decided to go ahead and load it up. I'm familiar with both the book and the movie, so I went in hoping for good things.
I watched just over 2 minutes and turned it off.
When the very first thing a show does is kill the dog they spent the first minute and a half letting the guy (and us) become attached to, that's all I need to see. Killing the dog is the worst sort of sensationalism. It's contrived and heavy-handed emotional manipulation. Frankly, I expected much better. If that's the best they've got to try and get me interested, then whatever follows can't possibly be worth watching.
I'll pass on this one.
