Episode 8

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 12 August 2017]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Into My Arms" was the perfect song to play over the final few moments of the episode. This was not exactly strong writing, the acting was really poor at times, but this is the kind of TV show that is perfect for summer. Crazy stuff happening, a few deaths you don't see coming, that's all you can ask for.

It's not Masterpiece Theatre, but it is good fun.

This show keeps getting worse!

I don't know what it is with these Danish directors/writers but they are 0 for 2 in 2017, they really need to stop messing with Stephen King's work. Between what Torpe did to this series and what Arcel did to the Dark Tower (lazy and uninspiring) let's black list anyone from Denmark wanting to adapt a Stephen King story.

I'm glad IT and Mr Mercedes are being made by people with no ties to Denmark. BTW Mr Mercedes, very good so far.

So as of episode 8 we are starting to see why the mist might have come. And oh boy is this a winner, see this version of the mist didn't come from another dimension like the book or the film. Christian Torpe (and the other producers) and his infinite wisdom decided that this version of the mist be from nature because a girl (who I hate) was raped.

This show makes me cringe! The only reason why I am watching it is because there is NOTHING else on and I guess I am holding out some kind of hope that the series would turn itself around... It wont.

I wonder how they pitched this to the network? This guy sits down and says we want to adapt King's book to a TV series but we take all of the really interesting and fun parts of the story and replace it with something really stupid that will alienate everyone who loved the book and the movie.
