Man, that was a tough season of TV to watch. Not UTD-level bad, but not good.
Problems? Let's see; how much time do I have?

I know it may be cheesy to say, but the total lack of "Todash" monsters really didn't work for me. That and the entire "Mist" as a character thing. I believe I am gone, but we shall see. I may give it a couple episodes next season in hope. lol

Gonna watch the finale tonight. I purposefully avoided this thread because I didn't want to be discouraged from watching the show. Kevin has been the only character that I enjoyed watching. I don't like any of the other actors or story lines. It would be awesome to recut the entire show down to just his story for like a 2 hr movie. So if anyone has that ability and time, get right on that.

I'm glad I held on for the conclusion. The series had it's ups and downs, but many shows do. I thought the finale was pretty strong and gratifying. I will gladly spend next summer watching this again.

I had to bail on the show. It didn't have that "it" factor for me. Never could put my finger on it but this just didn't hold my attention.

I agree that Kevin was the best character, but as forSpoiler:, they should have at least begun exploring that in season 1, and the willingness to ignore that tells me they wanted to make a soap opera instead of what I wanted.
If there's a season 2, I will give it a giant middle finger, while hoping my curiosity doesn't make me watch anyway.

It's one and done for Spike TV's The Mist.
The Viacom-owned cable network has canceled the freshman drama based on the Stephen King novella.
Picked up straight to series in April 2016 as part of Spike's push to re-enter the original scripted space, the drama starring Morgan Spector and Frances Conroy launched in late June to solid sampling, drawing 1.2 million viewers to the premiere with live-plus-three-day Nielsen returns. However, the rest of The Mist's run could barely draw 800,000 viewers — even with DVR. Among adults 18-49, the show couldn't even crack cable's top 30 scripted series.
The Mist, produced by The Weinstein Co./Dimension TV, marked Spike's return to scripted after scrapping previous efforts including Red Mars and the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced drama Harvest, both of which were picked up straight to series.
The decision to cancel The Mist comes as Spike is set to be rebranded as Paramount Network in January as part of a larger plan to reinvigorate corporate parent Viacom.
Spike/Paramount Network president Kevin Kay told The Hollywood Reporter in March that The Mist had the potential to move to Paramount Network with a second season if the first run performed well. Instead, Paramount Network will launch with a mix of high-end scripted including The Weinstein Co.-produced Taylor Sheridan drama Yellowstone and miniseries Waco, as well as TV Land-developed entries American Woman and Heathers.

Maybe that will teach them not to ignore the source material.

Maybe, in 10 or 20 years, someone will see the value in telling us what's going on in Arrowhead...

A truly awful show. Every character was unlikeable and boring. It is an act of mercy to cancel it. If they had shown this mess to prisoners, they would have a good claim that watching it constituted cruel and unusual punishment.

I was only half watching the episode as I was starting to give up on the show. When I saw what he did, I thought WTF. I then realized there was only 1 character in the show I mildly cared about, so I stopped the episode right there and then deleted it, and removed it from my list of shows to DVR. I can't think of another instance where I became feed up with a show mid episode.
I kinda thought the writers would want us to sympathize with the girls mother, but I was getting very annoyed by her. The daughter too for that matter.
At least Mr. Mercedes seems to be pretty good so far. (probably 2 episodes behind by now, due to insane work schedule).
