Wow .I can't believe the negative reviews. I have been binge watching for 4 days .Im only on season 2. But so far I LOVE IT.

I like the storyline but they could have used better actors. Some actors are annoying and horrible but it does not bother me that much. The thing that bothers me the most are the effects it's not the best and they could have put some more effort in to it. After all I'm not regretting watching it! The story is great!

I stopped watching at (well, during.) the 12th episode of the first season. Apparent repetition of story line and plots don't bother me as much as the sheer stupidity with which the lady sheriff is portrayed in the story line. The writing is so bad for a character with this profession it literally makes me cringe. This pokes holes the size of watermelons in the story line of this particular episode, and because of that, I reckon many more to come. I am not interested in actors and the like, and I don't have any complaints with their attempts to make an interesting theory with a bad script as realistic as possible. Now, I've read that this show is supposedly based on a book. I admit, I don't read much, but maybe I should. Perhaps the book won't disappoint me when the story SHOULD be getting more interesting.

Season 1 was excellent television, I give it an 8. What else more could you ask for, it had a great story and interesting characters... I was totally hooked at the end of season 1. Season 2 and 3 they strayed way way of course, trying to wedge characters into the story. It felt like the TV executives made the writers add in new characters because they wanted those actors on the show. Also, I felt like the TV executives were afraid to use the "individuals" responsible for the dome in the novel but instead made it worse by going the way they did. Would have loved to see the novels version on TV. At the very least it would have made season 2 and 3 better if they went the way of the novel. Under the dome is just another example of a show that did well because it aired during a time of the year when there is nothing else on for the people who enjoy this genre. Put this show on in the fall or winter and it's probably not seeing a season 2, definitely not a season 3.
