The mist episode 1-2

Hello there,

As usual, I have combined the articles of the mist together and this is the article of the first 2 episodes together. This is just to give you one place to read it all.
Here we go I guess!


The mist episode one: pilot my review

Hello there,
I am watching this show adapted from stephen king's work, the book has the same name, and it has been adapted by netflix and put up on their videoplatform
For any reason I will keep watching the show until I have finished it!


Now because shows like this have a messy timeline I will chop up the storylines in parts and when 2 storylines come together I will say that they come together in the point where  they come together, like storyline a comes accross storyline B I will state that they will come together in storyline B or at least I will try this. And ofcourse, I will give you my opinion about the episode
(after writing this article, I realized this wasn't needed as I could explain the plot without this!!)


So, right from the start we begin (as usual), we see a black US soldier wxaking up randomly in a forest with a dog next to him. He doesn't recal who he is or where he comes from or if this random dog is his. But he gets his name tag and reads it, then he finds a wallet on his person and assume its his (we don't get any reason of why it would be otherwise anyway) he starts petting the dog and the dog starts barking at something that appears for the person (the soldier) to be nothing and he starts chasing the dog. Whom has entered attack mode. the soldier soon starts running into a very dense mist and he finds his dog skinned alive in one of the trees. after which he runs to the closest town on foot but running which he can find, with good intentions he goes to the local police station and promptly gets arrested because they think he has taken drugs


After the intro, we meet a teacher that is getting fired because she has taught the kids more than what was in the curriculum required by the school board and parents have complained so much that they now have to fire her. the story focusses on her and her family now for a bit and her family, turns out she has a husband and a daughter, ofcourse the daughter goes to highschool and her husband is the good guy in the eyes of the daughter and the woman always says no because she knows better and doesn't want her daughter to become a slut or something.


they go together to a highschool football game which is also the location where some of the other main characters get introduced, we also get the information that the town is a small rural town (In the united states of America ofcourse) and the main police officer's son is the quarterback of the team and he invites her to the victory party at night, her mother ofcourse says no, to which the father protests after they got back home and there is some bickering between the parents


the 16 year old daughter is being sad in her own little girlsroom in their wooden american house, and here is where the father comes into her room and says she can go but can't drink any alcohol. This is where someone drugs her rapes her and the next morning it seems at first that she isn't home but she is in the garden, where she confesses what had happened the night before. They go to the police and ofcourse, the investigation starts to what happens, but the mist is going to hit!
And boy do they see it coming!


By all means, I can wait to see the episode but I won't I will continue watching thes series adapting the mist on Netflix, No I am not sponsered by netflix but I will continue watching it I give this episode 6,5 out of 10 banana peels because the storyline and suspence seem slippery

The mist Episode 2 withdrawal

Welp,
so, I have forgotten a character that has become character, I mean I didn't know she would become important. I mean, she was in jail with the black soldier from before but she didn't seem that important....


So basically the plot of this episode is kind of everyone panicing and seeking refuge in someway or another, some in a church others in the mall like the 2 female people that was major in the first episode are locked in the mall with a bunch of other people.
The husband is locked up in the policedepartment but escapes after the policeman has abandoned them, he frees the 2 prisoners together with the good friend of his daughter they escape, survive a carjacking attempt but did a carcrash, a bit later.


They all survive but they're not at their destination, the mall, but close to the church where another group of paniced people are hiding. So the episode is also mainly about investigation and stuff both groups in focus here know what is actually happening.
In the mall, the people draw something with a name on and that person, has to go in the mistinfected hallway. and the mother had to go, she goes trough the hallway with the mist and try the radio with this mysterious volunteer and he knows how to operate the radio that has been installed in major public things in the states since 9/11 and she gets afraid of this guy and tries to run away so badly that she has to kill him just to survive.


That is basically the plot of the episode as there doesn't happen much more than this. We still don't know, what is actually happening in this town which I think is great and so hard Stephen King but I think that it is still a bit to early to say oh my this is so much Stepehen King, but it is still a good series I think that this episode would be to boring for the first episode but it goes as a second episode it does fine as it settles the story a bit down and lights the parts the "investigations" quite well. I give this episode 7/10 yawns as I typed this out late at night and stuff.
