We started watching this show because we had little to watch this past summer and also because I really like Stephen King’s stories.
While at first it seemed like the show was in good hands, with interesting twists and turns, as time went on things started to get too ridiculous to be believed. Characters started doing things that strained the plausible and events happened for no reason other than to shock or fill time.
Also, while the producers promised that by the end of the season (it wasn’t known if it would get picked up for season 2) they would reveal the Dome’s origin and meaning, instead of dragging it for several seasons a la Lost, we were cheated of an explanation and the season finale was totally underwhelming.
Even Mr. King himself was wondering how they would be able to keep the show going for many episodes and apparently they resorted to spinning their tails.
It’s still up in the air whether we’ll be back for season 2, although Mike Vogel and Alexander Kock certainly make for a compelling argument.
