The Dome

[alexanderd]

Is anyone still watching this? I am but only because I read the book(which was very good) and find little or no resemblance to it in this series

[jackthehat]

I am......but only because I started watching it so am determined to get to the end. If there is a second series I shan't bother.

[alexanderd]

Jack, this is the second series!! Shows how good it is if you can follow it. I am waiting to see how they end it, cant be anything like the book.

[mccfluff]

i watched the first ep of the first series & gave up

[jackthehat]

Well, it's actually the second half of the first series......:o)

There is so much time spent with not much actually happening and apparently all that has happened has taken place within 14/15 days so far.

I haven't read King's original story, but if he'd actually written *this* version of it, I doubt if they would have filmed it! LoL

[alexanderd]

King was actually in a couple of the episodes, sitting at the bar in the coffee shop. I am amazed he wasnt crying in his beer!!

Stephen King actually wrote the first episode of this second series. And i recall reading a preview prior to the first series beginning and being warned that it did not adhere to the book. King is my fav author - i am actually about a 3rd of the way through the book for the 2nd reading - but a lot of his work does not transfer to the American 'mini-series' style of drama. I will watch to the end of this 2nd series but if they bring out a 3rd, i'll give up the ghost.

I have just watched the 2 series back to back, as when I've started something I like to see it through to the end. It certainly has a lot of flaws but it did keep me interested. I haven't yet read the book, although I have read almost all King's work I missed this one.
Probably best this way round so I can't moan that they ruined the book!

The third series is due for in June 2015.

[Ken4155]

So there is a 3rd series! That's the trouble with the Yanks; they get a good idea and then pump it until it runs dry. May as well quit watching now because i can see it turning into another 'Lost':-(

[Arksided]

I watched all five series of 'Lost' the biggest cop-out ending Ever! It's bad enough when a series gets zapped after leaving on a cliff hanger but that took the proverbial.

As for Under the Dome, I do like Stephen Kings works but gave up half way through series one.

[Ken4155]

And what happened to 'The Event'? That series was never finished. Makes you wonder if it's at all worthwhile getting 'into' any of these American series.

Am I the only person left who likes a film to have a proper beginning & a middle & an ending without zooming back & forth in time ?

[Arksided]

Ken, yes 'The Event' is prime example of what I was talking about, I couldn't remember it's name.

I agree read the book and enjoyed it BUT this series is so off the books pages!! I can hardly belleive it is the same story.?? I watch it but not really sure why,? poor Stephen King what can he make of it.! Terrible.
