action

The gentle author Kevin Copeland lives with his wife, Eve, a teacher, and their 16-year-old daughter Alex - the child does not initially know that Kevin is not the biological father - in the fictional town of Bridgeville, Maine . Up to this point in time, the couple had already experienced and mastered several crises. However, when the girl goes to a party against the wishes of her caring mother, at which her crush, quarterback Jay, is also present, a falling out breaks out. The youngster is drugged and raped at the party - her pansexual companion Adrian accuses Jay of the crime - and Eve then leaves her husband with Alex. Shortly afterwards, a deceptive fog envelops the small town. It soon becomes clear that this haze is something supernatural; prolonged contact inevitably leads to death.

Eve and Alex are surprised at the local mall , where they hide from now on with other refugees - including Jay. Rationed food, the claustrophobic atmosphere and quarrels soon lead to paranoia and aggression. Meanwhile, Kevin and Alex's school friend Adrian and two inmates of the local sheriff's office - the memory loss soldier Jonah and the drug addicted crook Mia - try to make their way to the shopping mall. On the way, Kevin reveals Adrian as a rapist. The convicted outsider then knocks down his foster father and escapes to the mall with Mia and Jonah, who have no idea of ​​any of this.

Determined to do anything, Kevin comes to the rescue of his family at the end of the first season when they are pushed out of the department store by an angry mob. The family flees into the unknown in an army jeep with Mia and Sheriff Heisel, who had also advanced to the mall with a third group of survivors. Jonah travels with Adrian as a stowaway to a military base.

reception

The first season got mixed reviews. In the Internet Movie Database there was an average of 5.3 out of 10 points with over 5,200 ratings. The series received a rating of 61% on the review website Rotten Tomatoes . Of the 38 reviews evaluated, 23 were positive. Metacritic calculated a Metascore of 54 for Der Nebel , based on 25 reviews in English (as of August 26, 2017).

The pilot episode review by Serienjunkies.de criticized problems with the script and all-too-well-known Stephen King characters after the first episode of Der Nebel : "The characters come from the same Maine small-town archetype box as most of the King characters , the interpersonal drama seems half-baked and is only supposed to quickly build a dramaturgical house of cards into which the fog can slide. While all of this is quite nice to look at, many of the inserted plot points have really bumpy timing. "
