Watched the first three episodes of "The Mist", the new show based off of Stephen King's novella. I read the book back in the 80s; loved it. Saw the movie that came out about 10 years ago; loved it. This new series, however? Not so much. WAY too much contemporary politics, cliched characters, etc. Plus, after three episodes, it would be nice to see an actual MONSTER. If nothing else pops up, I may continue to watch this, but for now . . . meh . . .
