Every Friday, TMINE lets you know the latest announcements about when new imported TV shows will finally be arriving on UK screens
No new acquisitions this week, but we do have one new premiere date: all 10 episodes of Spike TV (US)’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist are going to be on Netflix from August 25th. Actually, that might be a new acquisition, because I didn’t know that Netflix had acquired it, but at the very least, that’s very definitely the premiere date. As for whether it’s worth watching, I reviewed the first episode but wasn’t impressed.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
