Boy does everyone go batshiz (spoilers)


By the end of this. It’s mostly characters that you think are good but episode 8 had like 3 major twists.

We all saw the main twist comming but yea the show just went stupid. Its like everyone got stupid especially in the mall. Every one is suspicious of every one yet every one is naive and believes anything anyone claims. The suspension of disbelief is too high to stomach and the characters all suck. You just kinda want to see them all die. For example after burning down a church full of people how did that one couple starts registering their moral outrage when natalie elects to leave them behind cause the husband broke his leg. Like really you expect anything less from batshit lady and her micro cult followers.


Every one suspects gus murdered shelly and he's even getting beat up over it but said suspect just says "I saw alex running away" and poof hook line and sinker everyone turns on alex. Its like the writers shut down any expectation of critical thinking and were left with are characters devoid of any drama and are just their to advance the plot. This show could have been told in 8 episodes. There is way to much filler and too much dicking around between the life and death situations.

Even the music at the end of each episode was stupid.

I agree. I do not regret watching it but I’m fine with it not getting another season.

Couldn't agree more with this. Episode 8 saw everyone just go crazy and become so gullible. OK, I get one or two characters, but not everyone. The group burning the people in the church was probably the one that made the least sense to me. All of a sudden, oh it's OK to burn people alive since they didn't want to come with us. Any type of morality is just thrown out the window. It was predictable that Adrian raped Alex and then we have Gus who turns on crazy Shelley. After this episode, I don't think there were any characters left that I cared about and I was hoping the Mist just killed everyone. The writers definitely gave up in this one.

It'ts too bad as I thought this show started out really good, but by the end, it deserved to get canned.
