- IMPORTANT NOTE: For all those who are confused about me referring to The Mist as a Netflix show - The Mist is on the Netflix portal as a "Netflix Original," which means that they have purchased the property, and so that's why it is totally correct to refer to it as the 'Netflix version' or the 'Netflix TV series' See here: ibb.co/cUxw1v
Netflix has just released a series length adaption of the Stephen King short story and Frank Darabont movie adaption of The Mist, and it's ATROCIOUS!
The Mist tv show is from SpikeTv not Netflix.
It's on Netflix as a Netflix branded show over here in NZ.
Yeah but in America, it's on spike. Maybe Netflix just got to put it on there but it's not a Netflix Original series
Netflix must have bought the rights, because it's on their website as a "Netflix original."
Still it's not by Netflix
If it's branded by Netflix as a 'Netflix Original,' then it is actually the Netflix version of the Mist - if they now own, it's their property.
I dont know but i really liked The Mist. Maybe because i liked it without reading the novel or book or something...
Yeah, I guess it's always harder when you've read the original source material, especially when you love it so much - it can make you the world's harsher critic.
I have read the Mist and I fucking love this show! As a series it was incredibly adapted. the oricinal is so short that liberties had to be taken to make it a series! The reason people didn't like the mist series is because it's too smart for audiences. It actually makes you think and go beyond the what show gives you. This is a phenomenal show and fuck any moron who doesn't get it. I am so sick of the fucking dumb ass fuckers that are to stupid to have intellectual integrity.
Wait. I´m trying to understand you. Do you mean that you´re sick of the people who just didnt like and just criticize it?
Juan Gonzalez yes
+Rocco Ayala I've never read this book, but this show fucking suck !! It drag on way to fucking long the cast acting was horrendous, while their characters were poorly written as well. I'm not gonna even get into all the plotholes it build up in one fucking season. jeez people like you who defend this show should hold this L 💯
That town was doomed even without the mist. With so many people barely holding on to their sanity (or at least to common sense), it must have been on the brink of collapse anyway.
I wanted monsters not this BS
I fucking agree.
Lol you think spike can afford that?
Same we really need monsters not some ghost shit
monkeydust100 ,Me too bro
I hated the scene in the last episode where the girl got grabbed by the mist creature, because they did it SO POORLY. Earlier, the little girl gets killed within maybe 10-20 seconds. But then the older girl was spared for no apparent reason. Then, later, AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON, she gets caught by the monster and it starts poorly-cgiing her to death. But it holds onto her, and the camera holds for too long, then it goes to another scene. Then it flips back to her, holding on again for too many seconds, then back to the others. Then back to her 'dying' then back to the others then back to her 'dying.' Then she gets saved by a dude, and he dies WITHIN SECONDS. What the FUCK is happening? It's laughable. I regret giving it a chance, the show sucked.
It's shocking pointless plots it not about the mist at all
Exactly!
Yes I thought I was the only one that hated this show! Was so annoying the characters and the acting irritated me that whole time
Rongo Faaosofia i actually think it was too much about the mist. Adding arrow head plots, the mist having this presence that mind fucks people leading to this mystery that seems to demand answers, the mist itself is a character rather than a backdrop for unspeakable monsters to be unleashed. Like the video said if they were all happy functioning people at first it could of been a nice character driven show showing how horrible scared and desperate people can become.. With a few cool monster kills thrown in for the sake of occasional spectacle.
DeathRex88 exactly! I just wish sense 8 season 3 came out instead of this mockery of a show 😓
Yeah, it's pretty awful. The issues that "Fear the Walking Dead" in that non of the characters are intresting or watchable.
I got to correct you on one thing this was a spike series not a Netflix series
Yeah, a lot of people have been saying that, but it's on Netflix as a 'Netflix Original', so they clearly appear to have purchased the property now.
He is right that It is now a "Netflix Original" but looking it to this could mean they either own the rights to the show or simply bought to make it an exclusive to "Netflix".
FallenSnowWolf ok here's what I don't get how is it a Netflix original if it started on spike if Netflix bought it witch I personally think would be a waste of money looking at the quality of the show but I digress since Netflix bought it wouldn't it still be a spike original series since they originally produced it Netflix has many other networks shows in their library like walking dead sons of anarchy spardacus family guy ect. Why ain't they labled as Netflix originals but this show is it doesn't make since to me
I am guessing that Spike wanted to get rid of it because it was on Netflix before or just as the final episode aired so they either sold it to Netflix for dirt cheap or Netflix only bought the ability to air it exclusively to Netflix. Maybe Netflix took it and they will develop the second season. Netflix themselves never really produce anything they just fund production. I am hoping, and this is a big hop is that is that Netflix will take over and say "There is something really good we can work with so lets say, fuck season one and make season two what people want". I can see what they were going for but I think the over the top leftist view was meant to be satirical but it did not come off as that and with the bad writing and poor characters it was not good. I think they where really poking fun at the left because every Left leaning cliche characters ended up being giant dicks while the Rapist Jock was the hero.
So if Netflix now owns the rights then they will have the power to make season two and could redeem the show. We will have to wait. It just pothers me because everyone rips into Netflix but all they do is fund the stuff to have it exclusive so they can make money first. The show Puss In Boots was a Netflix original but is now on Disney I think. So to me "Netflix Original" just means that they broadcast it first not that they own rights.
FallenSnowWolf you know the funny thing is talking about who actually owns the show now is actually more interesting than the actual show itself
Netflix had nothing to do with The Mist Tv Series.
It's on the Netflix portal as a "Netflix Original" - so clearly they have purchased the property, which means that it is correct to refer to it as the 'Netflix TV series' or the 'Netflix version.'
They bought it they did not produce the damn thing.
Yes, they purchased the rights AFTER Spike made Season 1. Netflix owns it and has branded it as a Netflix Original. But, they haven't actually made or produced any content for the series themselves.
All they've done so far is gotten ownership of the property, and re-aired Season 1 that Spike made.
If there's any future content made off the property, yes, you could blame Netflix for it. But, if you're going to try and call out a show's issues. You should put blame where it belongs. Spike screwed this up.
Agree, 100%. Movie was perfect, show was awful
You might be watching it on Netflix but it's Spike's show. And it's thoroughly dreadful.
It's on Netflix as a 'Netflix Original' show - so they must have purchased the property now.
Left Foot Media They probably have, but the original network is Spike. Netflix had nothing to do with the production of this utter garbage. Should have known from 'Under the Dome'. King's work makes great miniseries but not great regular series.
Left Foot Media well I just went on Netflix and searched the mist and it wasn't on there not even the movie was on there looked up the trailer it was on spike's TH-cam channel I even looked it up on Wikipedia and it says original network was spike so I'm 100% sure this is not a Netflix show now I know it's hard to admit when someone wrong about something but you made a mistake were human it happens it really isn't a big of a deal especially since this is such a crappy show. But you do announce it in the title of the video and repeat it over and over again in the video so I just though you should know so u could put a disclaimer in the description of the video or with annotations or something
Nope - it's definitely on Netflix as a Netflix Original - I just logged into Netflix and took the following screenshot so you can see for yourself: ibb.co/cUxw1v
well thats strange because i can't even find the movie on my netflix let alone the series you think it could be some kind of region lock thing like in the usa it's a spike series but in england it's netflix
Netflix did not develop this show. It is not an Netflix original. It's a Spike TV property.
Netflix own this show - they purchased it - and it is on Netflix as a 'Netflix Original'
Left Foot Media your review makes it sound like Netflix developed it. I agree the show sucks but Netflix had nothing to do in creating this show.
You cannot ruin what you did not create.
Actually Netflix had nothing to do with this
Well they still ruined death note
It's on the Netflix portal as a "Netflix Original" - so clearly they have purchased the property, which means that it is correct to refer to it as the 'Netflix TV series' or the 'Netflix version.'
No that is wrong as it implies that Netflix had a hand in production. Many Netflix Originals are not produced by Netflix they just own the rights to them so spike must have sold it cause they knew they fucked up and sold it for cheap.
They never announced it only airs at spike i doubt it will be in Netflix or hulu
It's on Netflix right now as a 'Netflix Original' - here's the screenshot of it from Netflix: ibb.co/cUxw1v
Ordinarily, when I hear that a movie or TV show sucks, part of me feels more than a bit bad for all of the people that probably worked hard to make that movie or tv series a reality. Countless hours writing and re-writing screenplays, making the sets and costumes, putting in the special effects....everything.
And then I hear there was SJW agendas mixed into the thing, and instantly all remorse is replaced with relief and joy.
GOOD! FAIL! FAAAAAIL!!
I'm glad this series bombed, if it was just another vessel for that SJW bullshit.
Not only that, I hope the people behind this thing lost a shit ton of money and have to have this spectacular failure follow them around for the rest of their lives.
Stop trying to socially engineer society, you pricks!
This was a Weinstein brothers production under their Dimension Television brand, originally aired on Spike TV, and was picked up for international distribution by Netflix. The only reason you would call it the Netflix version of The Mist is the same reason they slap on the "Original" label, shameless click-bait. If you can't get basic facts about the series correct, why should I stick around for your opinion?
It's on Netflix as a "Netflix Original' - so clearly they own rights to it, and it is absolutely correct to refer to it as the 'Netflix version' - why should I trust anything else YOU say if you get so hung up on something so trivial that isn't even incorrect on my part.
Because I'm not attempting to make videos on youtube, I don't care what you think of my opinion on the show's quality and everything else I said is a verifiable fact. Take the constructive criticisms and change the misleading title of your video or continue to recieve negative feedback. Everyone knows your just trying to troll for more views by including Netflix in your description and title. Just because a company owns the rights for international distribution doesn't mean it's affiliated with the production, something which you talk about at length during the beginning of your video. Where you fail to mention basic facts like who produced the show or who wrote it.
Like I said - you are obsessing over a VERY trivial detail that has no bearing on the rest of anything else I say in the video. And no, this is not about trolling for views - I have called it the Netflix version because it is on the Netflix portal as a "Netflix Original" - which obviously makes it the
Netflix Version' (unless of course you plan to accuse them of trolling by labelling it as a Netflix original show.)
You keep saying that like it's some ironclad defense without responding to my main criticism, your lack of real information about the production of the show and the potential for misinformation on who created it to be spread. I'm not obsessing over this one detail, it's just the only part of your video I found worth commenting on.
Of course I am accusing Netflix of fishing for views by calling it an "original" series, that way they can market it on their homepage under a big banner. They do it all the time with foreign shows on Netflix and Hulu to attract new viewers with their brand recognition, the same people who will click on your video thinking this show is somehow comparable to House of Cards, not the other junk that airs on Spike TV. At least my comment will help to clarify that for your viewers.
Dioji Woolf you're an idiot.
Wrong company man, Spike NOT NETFLIX
It's on Netflix as a 'Netflix Original' - so they have obviously purchased the property.
The whole time I wanted them all to die. This show is a train-wreck.
Im really tired of these TV versions of movies. From Dusk Till Dawn, True Lies, American Gigolo, Lethal Weapon, the list goes on. About the only one that worked was Fargo, and that was because it was kind of a sequel to the movie, and wasnt stretching a 90 minute story across multiple seasons
Not having read the book, I enjoyed this series up til the end. It felt like they left it open for a second season which I just don't see happening.
The short story is well worth the read. Have you seen Darabont's 2007 film adaption?
I quite liked the series aswell, untill everyone just turned psycho in the last two episodes for no good reason
Couldn't agree more. What a shame, I was excited when i hear they were making a tv show out of the mist, but in the end I don't think they had the money, actors, or writers to pull it off.
Agreed. I was looking forward to it, but didn’t even finish the season 🙈
I wanted to like it but I was irritated at every episode
You explained it perfectly because that Netflix series was HORRIBLE
I was able to watch the whole by using a second monitor on my computer while doing my work on another, that's how invested i got with the story, nothing in this show was interesting enough to keep my focus on..
This was made by Spike, not Netflix.
It's on Netflix as a "Netflix Original" - so clearly they have purchased the property, and therefore it is 10% correct to refer to it as the Netflix version of the Mist (regardless of who originally created or commissioned it.)
Why did they make the mist magic? It's just supposed to be fog!
I think anytime anyone expects something specific from a movie or tv show then they will always be disappointed. I thought it was decent. It could have been better but not bad.
I think people who use this argument are easily entertained
Had no expectations. Saw the series before I saw the movie or read the book which were both awesome.
And even though I watched the show without any biases … it sucked. It sucked so bad I almost didn’t watch the movie.
Could you have said, "Darabont got it right!" another couple-hundred times? I'm sure you could've, if you tried hard enough. ;-) I agree with you, of course. But that phrase, itself, you said it so often that _it_ began sounding cliche. Agreed with pretty much everything you said, though. :-)
Darabont got it right! ;-)
This is tv version is so bad, I can't stop watching. My eyeballs rolled so much in just the first episode I think I have permanent ocular damage. Help! 😂
Mist was crap
I tryed 3 episode and each one disappointed more and more.
I don't agree, the story could have been a series if they had followed the book or movie.
Yes, you're right, but it would have to have been crafted completely differently - all of the characters would have needed to be in one single location, with almost no movement outside that location, and anyone who leaves the location would need to all but disappear from the plot - this would heighten the claustrophobia, fear, and intensity that is needed to drive this story and keep it interesting.
There's alot of ways they could have further expanded it, but this series was not it smh.
Yeah this tv show was a bit cringey to watch. I feel like some of the actors actually had some potential to do really good like kevin, jay, connor and maybe alex.. but the directing/writing was just so awful.
Yeah I agree - and as a fan of the original property I wanted this to be good!
Funny I don't think of shows bought by Netflix as a "Netflix show"... in fact, I feel like it is misleading, after all Netflix didn't commission the show-- the American cable network Spike TV bought and developed the show and Netflix bought the distribution rights worldwide. They do it all the time. I notice it with foreign shows all the time. It might be "original" for a particular territory but in the commonly understood sense it is not an original like 'House of Cards'.
I watched the entire season, and, yes, it's a terrible show. Everyone in the show is a scumbag. No characters anyone could get behind.
It was....the writers made situations too convenient like letting tge drug addict drive so they crash...bad writing.
Wait, Netflix bought the mist from spike?
netflix is already in debt like hell, why do they keep making bad decisions?
Whatcha the 2007 movie in black and white, the director thought it would be interesting to try that and put it on the bonus disc...oh man it's SOOO good. Better than in color, gives you more of the darkness you talked about and even polishes up the cgi and atmosphere. The shows not doing a good job so far (also canceled) but I did laugh at carmody dying...I couldn't stand her xD hahaha and I'm a Christian.
Yeah, the black and white really makes it something special aye!
Es ok but not the best wish they kept the monsters with spiders and bugs but with imaginable creatures straight up killed the series imo
I personally think that the show isn't the same as the story, I think that the show is taking inspiration from the story but not making it the same. It's only my opinion because I did love the show and found it spectacular
Then again I'm only 13 so I guess I don't know much
And I've got no problem with someone creating a brand new story, tv series, or movie that is inspired by something else - but when you actually produce a version of an existing property that is nothing like the original, then I think you should be calling it something else, because it isn't the same thing.
Although it has its twist in the plot and no recognition of understanding what is The Miz but I want to know what's going to happen next my boy Jay died I want to know what happened next
I dont know what this guy is talking about... but i liked it ...alot...people like this read the book and they expect word for word from the book in the series...pls as if they could have done better...
I enjoyed with with an open mind.....if u read the book dont watch the series or the movie
Jane Brand but the movie was great. But i really dislike the argument "as if you could've done better" because not having an ability doesn't mean you are not allowed to criticize other people if they do something badly. A mute can still tell if someone can't sing.
I never expected a word-for-word adaption of the book - I just expected something that was a lot better than this. But good on you for enjoying it - some people will obviously love things that others didn't, variety is the spice of life and all that! :-)
I haven't read the book, and barely remember wathcing the movie. I went into this with an open mind, but what we got isn't really the Mist but rather a terrible attempt at making some sort of Mist/Silent Hill hybrid.
I am on ep 5 and i thought it was a slow start but if halfway through its not interesting its a bad series
LMAO!! But this is why the show is good! The 1 dimensional characters combined with the horrific writing makes everyone look like morons that you just want to see die in every episode. And the strange editing choices really serve to add to the hilarity of some of the scenes.
What is the good movie ths 2008 or 1980
The new mist TV series was made for Spike TV not Netflix
It's on Netflix as a 'Netflix Original' - so they now own the property.
It was produced by Spike though then bought by Netflix... Would you call the first seasons of Arrested Development or Black Mirror as Netflix originals? Definitely not, but they are also listed as Netflix originals... I feel like this title is click bait.... many people on here are just commenting to let you know it's not created by Netflix... All the problems you have with the series were created by SPIKE TV. Don't shoot the supplier but the creator. If you're going to call something a Netflix version you should probably make sure Netflix produced it...
Nowhere do I blame Netflix for these problems at all - they are writing, directing, producing, and acting issues. This isn't about clickbait at all, this is simply about identifying a TV series as it is currently being marketed - as a "Netflix Original." It doesn't make one single bit of difference to me, or the points I make in this video who the owner of the TV series is, in this case it merely happens to be Netflix.
Left Foot Media I'm just saying a lot of these comments seem to be about how it is not Netflix so why not just change it to Spike's The Mist in the title instead. It's drawing more attention than the video itself
No it's not. It's the only show on Netflix i liked aside from Saul and OA. It's weird and creepy and cool.
Good on you for know what you like.
Watch the 2007 movie by Frank Darabont and you'll see why it's getting so many bad reviews.
So you would prefer a another copy of another film? I wanted to see something i haven't seen before. Never compare two different projects like that.
No, definitely didn't want to see the exact same thing made into a TV series - I just wanted something that was good.
The mist is a must read/watch. The mist tv show is just musty
Is this Just me or did annybody else kinda feel that Netflix tv show of The Mist connect to IT?
About the SJW propaganda: I agreed, until the show made what Jay had been accused of doing less clear-cut. It was clear from early on that maybe he wasn't quite as guilty as we'd been made to think.
Also: would you say Netflix... Mist the mark?
Just say "the mist series sucks" the hell is with the Netflix bit?
bigger isn't always better
I also really hate this series the movie it is a small group and the people are the monsters the way i look at the series that bigger isn't always better
Netflix bought this steaming turd? Big mistake.
Netflix version...? It's not even on Netflix, it's from Spike
Yes it is on Netflix, and as a Netflix Original. They have purchased the property.
Left Foot Media wow really? What country are you from bro? I'm from the U.S. and I can't find it
New Zealand. See the screenshot here: ibb.co/cUxw1v
Ill give this to sjws they sure now how to write characters that invoke a pure feeling of frustration
Netflix?
I completely lost interest by the 3rd chapter
get something that big that wrong this dude has no future in this
You miss one little thing... No fucking Monsters!!!!
I liked the show, maybe because I haven’t read the book or seen the movie.
and yet i watched all 10 eps and loved it...idk what the new generation expects now a days?
Expecting to be awesoma as the movie
It didn't need the gay kid in the story at all! He gave me the creeps!
I think Americans would like this show....
That's all I have to say.
You mean the creators of movies Hollywood and all things media in the modern world? The birthplace of modern technology and cinema? No. Americans dont like it.
I must have been transferred to an alternate reality where Netflix made The Mist and not Spike.
spike? isnt that THE GUY CHANNEL? i miss that 1000 ways to die show.
Ok, so how many times are you going to repeat yourself? Blah, blah, blah.......
I felt like this show felt more like a psychological horror tv series dealing more with the Mist than the creatures.
I think it would have been awesome if it had done that - but it never really developed that idea properly, and mainly because it lacked the claustrophobia to really create great psychological tension.
Left Foot Media Think about it. The way every person on the show reacted differently to the Mist it was almost psychologic lol😂 It was a good show but its downfall was not having the Alien monsters. Gotta love that tentacle monster from the movie. That's what sucks about people bashing the show. No room to see how Season 2 could have been.
The problem is that they showed us in season one that they had no real vision for the source material - they were just trying a bunch of different ideas, and in the process they lost the heart of what the source material so effective as a story.
Spike TV
I thought it was at least interesting and unique in a way, with how they made the mist work at first. I didn't mind the social commentary, it's pretty accurate to what I've seen happen at schools and communities in my country. However the last few episodes were going downhill in terms of quality, things started making less sense and it felt odd, characters were stupid before but DAMN the last few episodes were just weird... and the last episode fking sealed this show's fate. It was plain stupid, unsatisfying, no payoffs really except for a few here and there, so many loose ends and things that don't make sense, from character actions (looking at you Jonah) to the plot overall and more. It seems they wanted more than one season judging by the loose ends, and that's just fking bonkers. The last episode was absolute rubbish and I couldn't hate it more.
So in conclusion, it started off with potential but ended up being disappointing and terrible.
Totally agree mate. The Feminist SJW feel was absolutely rife throughout this crappy interpretation of a tv show.
It was garbage!!!
It's not from Netflix, you knob....
It's owned by Netflix genius - which is why it is on Netflix as a 'Netflix Original'
I actually liked it...
Good on you mate - people are always going to like and hate different things based on their tastes and preferences, and for me it was a flop, but others will really love it :-)
Me too, it took me on an emotional ride.
I fucking love it👍👍
What I got from this:
>movie got it right
>deviation from the book is a sin
>having a gay guy is sjw propaganda
>supporting claims in a review is optional
u are spot on !!!! exactly !!!!!!!
sjw propaganda? pardon me for asking. but......can i have examples? i didnt watch the show.
I like the show
I loved the tc series It has a much more better ending then the film :)
it is wank
Garbage show
The movie is one of the best horror movies ever made and best Stephen King adaption. 👍
It's been like 15 minutes and it's already SJW infested, wtf
its really not......it starts out and then it gets into twists...trust me
