I'm not surprised by all the negative reviews. It's one of the most frustrating series I've ever watched, the premise is fantastic, a wonderfully clever plot, but after the first few episodes it seems to lose the plot completely. Series one was pretty decent I thought, watchable, Series two was more of the same, but felt a bit lethargic, Series three was an abomination, and shouldn't have been made, it totally lost the plot.The acting was patchy, it started well, then seemed to go off the boil as it went on. I think had it been a single series, with a definite explanation it would have worked better, the usual criticisms with shows like Lost, Walking Dead etc is they milk them until they kill them, and have no choice but to cancel, sometimes less is more, in this case it would have been.Interesting at the start, a few good bits, but way too many missed opportunities, all I can remember thinking was if I saw that cow once more I'd switch off, however I saw it through to the terrible conclusion. A waste.

I have no idea why rates are so low. Almost every person who rated it gave it 1/10. Like...what? Movies and TV shows that actually ARE garbage (we all know at least one of those) are rated at least 3/10. Giving it 1/10 is not just disrespectful to actors and directors who made this so y'all could watch, but also to Stephen King. I mean, some of you commented after the FIRST EPISODE, and wrote it was garbage. What the...? At least give the show a chance before you judge it!I personally LOVED the show. Well, not the third season as much as first two, but still...loved it. Loved characters, story, the way it was shown... You can see how "friendly little town" acts when there's a chaos. Also, you can see how some characters change, made into completely different persons, which is a real deal. We all change under certain circumstances. Some to worse, some to better. I watched this show 3 times so far, and it will always have a place between other shows I love and rewatch from time to time. Peace out.

This is a great idea, I always wanted to read the book because it's a great storyline idea. I GENUINELY hope the book is better than the show. I'm reaching the end of season 1 and this has turned into a very predictable YA show. All the characters are flat like hell, make really stupid decisions just to fit the plot (instead of, you know, according to logic and common sense) and whoop de doo, all the important characters are children. Really hope this'll get better, not super hopefully judging from the reviews...

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.
