This show's plot and script changes from obvious to random every 5 minutes.
I like this show. I think it's pretty awesome that Steven Spielberg and Stephen King managed to pull off a second season. For everyone bitching about season 2, this was originaly a mini series. Not planned, written or prepared passed season 1. They were shocked it was renewed. I love this show and it had to eventually go somewhere. Although I do not like the killing Angie off... shoulda been big jim.
1 and 2 season saying the same thing for beautiful , but unfortunately I can not Season 3
The show wasn't spectacular but it had gas to make us want to watch it to the end. The curiosity keeps you going without dissapointment. Normally the spectacular shows get bad at the end. I'd say give the first episode ago, if you like it keep going. Otherwise try something else.
Season 1 and 2 are very good, but season 3 is completely different... For me season 2 finale is the end of the series
I’ve always been a fan of King adaptations. And UTD’s premise may seem cliche at first glance, but in true King style, a story can take a turn and introduce you to the wild side of King’s world. The show started out great in my opinion, but then it lost momentum after the first season. Did too much, in too short of time, and too little when it should have mattered most to keep the story arc alive. There’s not very many sci-fi shows you’d catch me saying I would bail on, no matter how much it would start to drag or turn into a backwood disaster. This show, by season 3, started to do just that for me though. I made it through to the end, but it was hard to do and the ending left me feeling greatly unsatisfied.
I think anyone giving it a try for the first time would enjoy season 1, but after that, I’m unsure they could say the writers successfully stayed on track with this show, and the direction all throughout season 3 was virtually nonexistent which I feel would be evident to just about anyone that would watch.
It's an okay show, not great, not bad, ok.
One of the things I initially liked most about the show became one of the things that started to annoy me about it. The good characters weren't all good, and the bad characters weren't all bad, It was good to see that sometimes good characters did bad things and bad characters did good things, a lot of shows don't really do this aside from a characters having an angry episode, or a villain doing something bad to achieve a good. Unfortunately, they keep flipping certain characters, so it seems every other episode the character that redeemed themselves has gone bad again, or now the good guys are accepting a character that did something terrible an episode ago, the thing that makes it worse is that a very short amount of in universe time passes, so it's hard to believe characters would be able to forgive someone so quickly, or that a character would have a change of heart.
It's worth giving a go if you're looking for something to watch, but expect a few unbelievable character decisions, and the seasons to feel a few episodes longer than they needed to be.
First season was good but the rest of them was all screwed up. So I stopped watching and removed it from my recordings........
Based on a Stephen King book, a Steven Spielberg production, lots of fledgling actors that went on to impressive careers, great established performers. This series had a potential from which it fell way short. After 8 episodes, and, reinforced by other reviews that said it just gets worse and never gives credible answers to the mystery at it's centre, I was ready to abandon it, but I resolved to finish the first 13 episodes (Season 1) that were originally a whole mini-series. My recommendation is DON'T BOTHER. What I saw was sloppy writing, uninspiring characters and plot lines that veer off everywhere and go nowhere. It was a big disappointment. The series deviated so much from the original book as to be unrecognizably as Stephen King fiction. I was looking for something great. I found a mess. I give it a 4 (poor) out of 10, and it is now listed in my ABANDONED list. [SciFantasy]
It was very good at the beginning but it got so silly at the end with people traveling in and out the dome whenever they want
Indecente!!!! La serie più inguardabile che abbia mai visto!!!
L'episodio più interessante è meglio scritto di tutta la stagione....
What started as an intriguing sci-fi broadcast summer show quickly turned into one of the best so bad it's good comedies on TV.
Awesome first 2 seasons then the writers got board and just wanted to end everything. Got really dumb in season 3 and only watched to get to an ending!!!!!!!
it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't great. i say a rating of 6.5 on a scale of 1-10. Or a grade of D+ on a A, B, C, D and F scale.
I loved the first two season, but the last season just got so weird it kind of ruined it for me.
Avoid this series! While Britt Robertson and Natalie Martinez gave notable performances, their characters didn't last long. Season one was decent, but season two was silly, and season three was simply stupid beyond belief. With no proper ending, it leaves viewers hanging with unresolved cliffhangers. Many high ratings likely stem from viewers who rated the series before season two aired. The term "miniseries" was misleadingly used for a show that clearly wasn't intended to be one from the start. Television networks have capitalized on terms like "Mini Series," "Event Series," and "Limited Series" since 2013 to deflect blame for cancellations. Beware of series labeled as such with more than eight episodes and low production value, as they may never conclude satisfactorily. FOX's "event series" label, introduced in 2014, often leads to similarly open-ended shows. While these terms offer the possibility of renewal based on ratings, they're designed to manage viewer expectations and minimize complaints about unresolved storylines.
i think this is very bad tv show, don't watch it, save your time.
"Under the Dumb." Utterly moronic plots (stupid people doing stupid things for stupid reasons) with execrable dialogue (all exposition, obsessed with reminding the viewer what happened two minutes ago,) I just wanted all the characters to stop talking. I watched all three seasons so that you don't have to.
First season was interesting enough to get you hooked, but it all went downhill fast afterwards...
Empieza siendo una serie interesante para terminar siendo una serie penosa
Wow.. they really turned that book into a tv show. i'm so not going to watch it.
I like This show .. juila and barbie nice couple i have ever seen ..
i hope season 3 not a final :(
I loved this show and couldn't wait for it to begin, and now that miss CSI is there and taking up all the air time, all I want is for it to end. Very disappointed and will not watch anymore. The people from the first seasons are put aside for a new face. And she was just to be a guest, wtf did she sleep with the director, I guess she did.
can't get the series 3 episode 3 ?
Empieza interesante y se convierte en una serie penosa
Can't really feel a bond with any of the characters. Acting seems shallow, music is highly overdramatizing scenes that don't need it. Still makes me want to know what the dome is and what happens.
They know how to turn a great book into a shit
Season one was nice. Why is season two so bad?
I cannot believe Big Jim is the new Sheriff!!!!!!!!!!!! Whaaaaat! He doesn't even know about Zenith. What a scrub! Although, I do love some crazy Big Jim behavior.
#BigJimHankSchrader
For me this show is like watching a horrible slow car wreck - it's bad but I can't turn my eyes from it. I find the characters to be the dumbest I have ever seen in a tv show. Sheriff Linda Esquivel in one episode say she wants no one to touch the dome and issues instruction to mark it off with yellow caution tape then seconds later (literally seconds later!) goes beyond that same caution tape where she PRESSES HER HAND AND LIPS AGAINST THE DOME!? Later in 1st season she become something of a tool for the use of "Big Jim" where by he gives her suggestions and she, no matter how strange the suggestion, follows with little thought. She is THE only law official of rank and she is taking orders from "Big Jim"? Then there is Junior who I find to be very very annoying simply because he is so fixed being with Angie. The character Junior almost feels like a mindless drone because he is so easily swayed. I think I was truly convinced that the majority of the people in this town are flat out crazy when "Big Jim" ask Phil Bushey (the DJ) to round up carpenters to build gallows. I really find it hard to believe that a African American would be ok with the construction of a gallow so that some one can be hung. By far the most interesting thing or character in this tv show is, the dome. The dome is the only reason I watch this series and it is because I want to know more about, I want to find out why is it there, I want to know why it is communicating through these 4 people, etc. So please more dome info and please please fix these characters!
Heel erg benieuwd ga zeker kijken vanavond.
They just recently annouced that this is no longer a mini-series, but now will be an ongoing series. The writing on this series is already too loose, but I was hanging in for the end game. Now that there will not be one, I am out.
Sex scene in the first three minutes of a new show.
Sad! But hey, sex sells right.
I hate this show with passion. The book it's based on is one of the best Stephen King has ever written, but this? They gave up on all the logic he so carefully invented and described, they softened everything gross and they changed the story for worse. Why does anybody want to film a story from one of the best storytellers on the planet, and then completely rewrite it? It blows my mind.
Do not waste your time.
There first season is interesting enough to get you hooked and then it’s all downhill. I just wanted it to end. I only watched all 3 episodes to get an ending. It looks like it wasn’t renewed for season 4 so it never even gave a proper ending. Awful
Absolute waste of time. The story didn't make sense at ANY point. Acting is bad. CGI is bad. Do not recommend!
entertaining and boring at the same time
Brain damage , that what you will get from watching this ...
there is only one thing good in this show the curiosity it will keep you going , however your brain get turned off by the acting and the nonsense stuff that going on .
maybe i finished it because i like this genre so it was my kind of thing but still i can't believe i did finish it .
Episodes are a bit childish and the acting is awful.
Although the plot is good, I think movie writers included scenes which are supposed to be included in every movie. You will know it when you see it. And almost each episode looks like it is unreasonably long.
This series have big potential for becoming one great tv series, but it went wrong. I will watch it till the end (just finished season 2) of the series, but I don't think it will gets better.
I was bold and didn't let the negative comments discourage me from watching this series. I wouldn't call it the worst, but I completely agree that only season 1 makes actual sense and is enjoyable to watch. I'm in middle of season 2 and the plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, everyone is completely irrational and characters feel just forced.
Acting is alright, some actors are good, some are mediocre or a little green, but that wasn't the reason I'll be stopping after season 2 - the writing is.
I love this show. Too bad no season 4.
This is one of the best shows I have seen. Too bad no season 4.
If you're reading this comment, i'm pretty sure you read the other comments that trashed this show. Well, lemme tell you, i read them too before I started watching Under the Dome, I'm just glad i didn't listen to what some people with shi**y taste in tv shows, and went ahead and watched this amazing series! too bad they didn't finish the entire story. Hopefully one day it will get picked up again.
At first it was very promising with great episodes, but was getting lost over the seasons and was canceled with a meaningless ending.
this was a HUGE disappointment. as a King junkie and a tv addict, i had high hopes. perhaps my hopes were too high, considering i've actually read the book. i suppose i was hoping to see my vision of the book on screen, as with The Stand and Pet Sematary, so many years ago. this was not that. maybe they were trying for a TrueBlood type hit, where it slowly veered so far from the books that it became a whole new story. sorry, sai king, it didn't make it. this departed from the book after S1E1 and not in a delightful way. i hope they keep trying. there are so many King books ripe for a series. i know its been said that there are too many production difficulties in making the Dark Tower into a movie, yet they did, and it was just awful. it would be much better represented as a long running series. yeah, yeah, not the place for that opinion, but there it is. deal.
is this a drama show?? oh no..rather comedy, i guess.
the world would be a better place if season two and three didn't exist. so much love for season one tho
Season 3 is really bad, specially the end.
Tbh, I liked season 1, just the first one, and then the rest felt too random and half-hearted. I gave it a 2/10 cause it was too terrible that by the end, I'm not even happy watching anymore and to remind myself never to watch it again.
The initial plot was good - but it turned into a stupid grind for viewers and actors, wish I didn't start watching!!
I was very upset when Angie died but other than that it's a great show 10/10
Only season 1 and 2 are good, at the end of season 2 it's getting boring...
I loved this show and enjoyed watching it till the end but I have to say that the first two seasons were amazing, the third went grasping for straws in my opinion. They let you in on the big plot too soon which spoils the story that you come to love in the first two seasons. Still, the characters are great and it is a well written story.
L'inizio é promettente e quindi alla fine lo vuoi vedere tutto ma diciamo che ripensandoci questa serie é abbastanza ridicola sia nella sceneggiatura che nella recitazione. Mi ha dato l'idea del classico prodotto dove ci sono reazioni stupide a cose stupide... diciamo per il classico americano medio.
Just finished watching the series after devouring it in a few weeks. I say devouring because the ending of each episode was very enticing to watch the next one and I was always left wanting one more. I loved the season 1 and 2. Season 3 was actually really bad, but for me it got a little better as it was reaching the ending. The storyline went a lot crazy (bad) and I wish they would kept it more "real" though.
I'll give it a good score thanks to the first two seasons.
First season was good, second season was decent but third season was horrible. Avoid it like plague.

This show is so bad in every single way that I loved it. Turn it into a drinking game, every time junior says something dumb, or the word science is used, when ever anyone dose something stupid. You may never see the end of a single episode and a detox might be needed. But hey it works to make the show watchable
I loved to hate this show. It was so bad I could not turn away from it. Seriously turn this show into a drinking game. In season 2 take a drink for anytime the word science is said. On the one why is that lady working as a teacher in Chester mills, she seems to be fully qualified for everything dr
I loved the book by Stephen King and I thought I'd love the show, too! So the first couple episodes in you will notice that some major points have been changed from the book. Characters are different or added or removed compared to the book, but thats okay because the changes mostly make sense.
Towards the end of season one I slowly got the idea that this show isn't going to end anytime soon. The plot has been changed to the point where it barely resembled the story of the book. Basically some characters share the same names and there is a large alien structure blocking the citizens from leaving.
I don't like it. They turned SKs book into a melodramatic piece of shit. The conclusion of season one didn't make any sense at all. The whole show is structured around cliffhangers, probably because they know the script is shit and need you to hook with psychology instead of quality.
Avoid this show at all costs. It goes downhill from shit to even worse in S02E01. I couldn't even finish the episode. Think Daxter, but with the decline right after the first half of the first season.
Not the best show these days, but I wouldn't say it's one of the worst series. Season one and three weren't that bad! Season two was the only season that was absolutely unwatchable. Though, after just finishing season three, I'm kind of let down this was the last season...
LOVE THIS SHOW! So sad to say goodbye it was an amazing ride while it lasted!
MUST SEE SHOW! Especially, if u r a fan of Stephen King stories, even if u read the book, it's based on the book, not exactly the same as the book - each week's twists & turns, and added character development makes it just keep getting better & better. It is a show that never let's u get too comfortable, it's unpredictable style keeps things continuously fresh & exciting, never a dull moment in Chester's Mill - especially w/BIG JIM RENNIE around! Also, just because they r under a huge dome preventing ppl from going in or out - don't ever think just because u have seen an episode or two u have met all the characters - new personalities come & go all the way to the end!
Under The Dome started out great, the first season was awesome. Near the second seasons finale, it got a bit.. boring. But to me, it certainly isn't the worst show in years. I did not like the way the show ended. I hate open endings, period. What's with that newfound egg, Kinship 2.0?! How did the chick even survive that fall? Are Joe and Norrie gonna get back together? So many new questions..
If you want to maintain your sanity, never watch this show.
sadly, this is it for the show...http://goo.gl/liLfCX
Really enjoyed the first season but towards the end it got so convoluted. It's turned into helix, moved away from its premise and completely lost its way. Gone from a great show to a bit of a stinker. How season 2 got picked up I'll never know
Que interesante quedo el final del capitulo doble, que ira a pasar!!!???? Mi
(via TV Blaze for WP)
I wasn't sure if I would continue watching this show after season 2. But then the start of season 3 had me one the edge of my seat again. I can't wait to see what's coming next.
Why does Big Jim kill all these people... seriously! HE is the one that should die :@
I love it !!
it's Awesome !
WHEN WILL THAT SCUM OF BIG JIM DIE???????? I HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH
Will that be enough to get a third season? I feel a bit disappointed
der z no action 1bit
This show is the butt of so much derision and rightly so but it makes for good laughs.
I love this show! But at 2 episodes before the end, just hoping that will not end like Lost!
this show is really good it's one of my favorites now i recommend everyone to watch this show
A show based on an interesting idea but badly executed. Shallow characters and predictable outcomes didnt keep me hooked for long... After a few episodes, I stopped watching...
"I'm not saying it was aliens... But it was aliens" - Giorgio Tsoukalos
This show has bad acting...but I still want to know how it's all going on...
When in life do you say "I need to borrow your prius" --- Most people would say "i need to borrow your car" stupid product placement!
I like Joe (Colin Ford) and the serie is very good
I start do dislike the whole show.
The first season and most of the episodes were portraying a nice concept/idea which I liked.
But the development slowed down at the end of season 1 and the quality of the acting as well.
Since season 2 started, with the addition of 5 or so characters, the acting worsens with each episode.
It's always the same obscure plot progression while in fact there is none since there's a new ass-pull of a problem to deal with next episode. This whole new season seems to be trying to get from episode to episode instead of having some overarching plot working towards to (besides the Dome, apparently). Seeing how much the concept can be dragged out, maybe hoping for a third season? I don't know.
4 out of those 5 new characters are just annoying and soo obviously because: "we need plot progression but we put the car so deep into the dirt with our previous characters...". Supporting that lazy episode to episode writing.
That 1 out of 5 I can live with is Melanie Cross, an exception just because she's kinda cute and shuts up most of the time, something the teacher should try for once.
The teacher gives the impression of being the Kristen Stewart of Under The Dome when it comes down to facial expressions. Besides, she seems like she's a lunatic or will end up as such, I despise here the most. I can't help myself but roll my eyes everytime she shows up.
The smart ass coming out of nowhere knowing and observing all kinds of shit. Where were you in season 1? Hm? It's not like there weren't smart people needed, right?
Especially the very limited amount of food must have been adressed earlier anyway (when I recall there was but nothing actually came out of it). Seeing now how they calmly drink coffe and get a free refill...yeah, because coffe storages are usually endless. But just now there'll be a shortage of food becase bugs. Such convenient writing.
And most of all this "faith" stuff and godly undertone that is basically shoved down my atheistic throat each and every episode/plot in this second season so far is starting to push me away.
It was hinted a lot in the first season and is in general completely fine, unless it is forced on the viewer and the main drive for the plot itself as it is here in development.
Sad what became of this show.
Enough of the crappy windows tablet close-ups!
Voy por el capítulo 4 de la primera temporada y no me engancha todavía ... Le daré oportunidad hasta el capítulo 5
Impaciente para que empiece la próxima temporada
Linda and ?Angie? died... Wow a big twist here!!!... I look forward for the next episode....

This is one of the worst series of the last couple of years. The plot and the acting is as bad as it gets. Honestly it made me wonder about my tv addiction cause I gave it a chance for a complete season. 2 Eps into season 2 it got even worse and I bailed...
