Besides AMC, HBO, and the occasional FX show, there isn't much out there for good TV these days. A lot of shows TRY to make programming that doesn't suck, but they can't help it... they're shackled by the same old TV tropes.
I was extremely reluctant to give The Mist a chance due to it being on a Reality TV network like Spike... but I watched the first episode and surprisingly it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be. The Mist was the very first Stephen King I ever read way back in middle school, and I love the Frank Darabont movie (especially the amazing ending!).
Spike's The Mist is good... I don't know what these reviewers are talking about, but the show I'm watching is well done, the acting is solid, and so far it's a great adaptation. I like the things they have changed and the things that are the same, and how it's not even really clear that there IS something in The Mist... It's still early, but after 3 episodes I'm in.
