Season 1 Review:
A fine cast, but the generic characters and shock-lite scares don't impress. [23 Jun 2017, p.59]

Season 1 Review:
The show still feels dated. ... The gore is effective without ever hitting the level of a feature-film bloodbath. But what will determine whether The Mist is the summer hit it aspires to be isn’t the gore: It’s the effectiveness of the psychological terror. It is moderately successful in the first episode, at least.

Season 1 Review:
Bernstein (Fargo, Better Call Saul) is a good enough director that The Mist pilot gets a couple light scares, but it lacks the brutal simplicity this brand requires. After an hour, they've killed a few people nobody will possibly care about and one animal people probably will care about. But the characters are still scattered through the town and my desire to follow any of them to see how long it takes to bring them together in a contained environment as they ponder the unknowable outside is next to nil.

Season 1 Review:
It’s one of those programs that shows way too much and doesn’t allow for tension to build. We see the impact of the mist way too quickly for a show that now has to maintain suspense over the course of a season. And the special effects are too thin to be actually terrifying.
