I'm halfway through season 2 and I seriously can't stand him. I feel like he is ruining this whole show. His nonsense is so predictable and yet still seems so unbelievable. His whole murder spree in the first season was insane and somehow everyone is just over it now? It's been 3 weeks also? That is so not enough time to be panicking like this. If I hear him say anything along the lines of "I did it for the town", I'm going to lose my shit. Get. The. Fuck. Over. Yourself. I was soooo happy when he was about to hang himself at the end of season 1 and now we're just stuck with his bullshit for another season? He adds absolutely nothing to this show. Everything he does seems like it just gets in the way of the plot

This is when she mentioned her bullies made fun of her hair. Haha

I have just completed s1 and s2 over a week. Honestly season 1 is good, but season 2 is average and it should have ended at season 2 when the dome came down with one finale episode of don barbara bringing back the egg and somehow town is back in shape. Just started season 3 and its just feel like they are stretching it unnecessarily. Whole plot seems filling/ waste.

We Look at S2 ep9 The Red Door

So yea this is a follow up post I recently posted in the sub reddit about how much I hate this show as well as how much interest I got unknowingly to finish this.

And finally finished this stupidity and felt more stupid at the end...anyways I felt a little heart warmed when there were some fellow mates who also experienced the same feeling and also gave their pov...

The characters were massively abused by their script..there were only some characters that was watchable: Big Jim, joe , norrie, and Julia (there were ups and downs).

please comment your POV upon finishing this series and what characters you felt were good and bad also their stupidity...

Normally I ask for recommendations after finishing a series but I'm not going to ask for recommendations because I don't want another Hatewatch

So this show was a prime suggestion and I gave it a watch ..

the first season was watchable(tolerable) but then as it goes I felt like a stupid honestly...

what a shit show but at the same time I always wanted to like how it's going to end..And the characters were like one episode stupid next episode more stupid and then in the next episode dead.

For example Phil and Angie.

I wish I could rant about this show with someone in real face to face .. because I can't express how stupid this show is in words.

If you guys also found this show stupid but also wanted to watch ...comment

my parents watched this in 2013 when i was like 9 or 10, i only remember little glimpses and parts of it. i just started actually watching it myself, on season 1 episode 11, very excited to finish!

Recently I went on a binge-watch marathon of this series. I don’t know what got into me, but within a single week I watched 3 seasons xD

Such wasted potential.

Tons of illogical behavior and motivations, people have the memory of a goldfish, e.g. after a few days they forget that Big Jim murdered innocent people.

Some characters lack depth, Barbie is way too perfect / flawless, and on top of that many scenes are poorly written, the dialogue is stiff, just like the acting.

The biggest downside is the lack of logic in the characters’ actions, plus the magical teleporting and always being in the perfect place at the perfect time, which borders on a miracle. There’s a complete lack of realism and an overly sugary portrayal of how little panic people have despite being in such a situation.

I kind of liked the first season and the beginning of season two. Then all the insane stuff with the virus, the ice age, and the vortex / portal under the town really drags the rating down.

Season 3 is just completely unhinged, and I only watched it out of sheer momentum.

On the plus side: unpredictable Big Jim and his psychopath son. Shame they killed off Angie. Norrie and Joe were pretty solid too, and Melanie - well, she was gorgous: pretty, gentle, good and sweet, she really fits the idea of an ’80s girl. Too bad Junior and Melanie didn’t get a happy ending. I think they would’ve worked well together.

I also have an issue with Julia and Barbie, they were just way too idealized.

I don’t even know why I watched the whole thing. I guess sometimes the script was so dumb that I just wanted to see what else the creators could possibly come up with :p

Oh, and I almost forgot about Pauline, for an artist, she had insanely bad paintings xD like elementary school level - like really, couldn't they prepare more detailed, elegant ones? xD

All in all, interesting concept, but the series is medicore at best. I have watched it because I care about the town and it's citizens ;)

Anyone got a body count? lol who’s is higher - Barbie or big Jim? Lmao

I watch seasons 1 and 2 on 1.5-2x speed and skip scenes. I watch 95%+ of season 3 without any skips and in 1x-1.25x speed.

I have an idea why it's hated. Humans are just subconsciously conditioned to seethe at a plot where a superior race is completely taking over. I love an alien apocalypse, far more interesting than the bland seasons 1 and 2.

1. The first episode is ultra scary, the eerie atmosphere makes the viewer paranoid about everything, even the dog. The acting, the alternate timelines, the subtle inconsistencies. Such a reflection of modern society. Just never question the narrative, move on and be a herd!

2. Hank. Nothing Dean Norris does feels like acting. He has created MULTIPLE modes of acting for each stance, being cool, manipulative, strict, murderous. All of them are perfect with many details. Just one glance at his demeanor or a body language change and we know a bit about what he is about to do, but not too much.

3. Stages of degradation are played so well by most actors it's unbelievable. They are freaking me out. From one scene to another, it is like so many of them switch from psychopath mode to human.

4. The plot with the company is just fascinating at every single step of the way. The idea of Julie and Hank cooperating is flawless and I ship that 100%. The turf wars, that last for most of rhe season are 100% my idea of an engaging show. This is something that is so great even though at first I thought the sci fi components to the show are ridiculous in Season 1 when it's in full bloom in season 3 I changed my mind. It was exactly what I wanted this show to be.

I refuse to explore why season 3 is hated by humans. But I might have an idea why. Cope and seethe, inferior race

How did we go from kinda spooky, elusive warnings, “the monarch will be crowned” or whatever.. seizures, messages, connecting, the pink stars… to the mid-end of season 2 where every day is a new science experiment/ micro-climate inside the dome disaster and like day to day survival? lol who’s the monarch? What happened to the pink stars? lol

I’m watching for the first time- I’m in season 2 and it’s literally just like every one d!es and that’s the concept? Also ITS ONLY BEEN 2 WEEKS LMAO like waaaaaaay too much is happening. I couldn’t believe the sister and the cop died in the first episode of season 2. They did a good job like quietly replacing them both though.

We take a look at Season 2 Episode 3

They started referencing how the aliens had to leave their home because other “bad” aliens had destroyed it. And those same bad aliens were going to come to earth and destroy earth and kill all of humanity and our only hope was Dawn and the kinship to save all of us from the other bad aliens. We were supposed to end up being glad that they survived because it was our only hope to protect our planet from the bad aliens that destroyed these other aliens’ home…yeah when I read it, I’m glad they didn’t subject us to all of that.

Greetings, I started watching under the dome recently and I'm on season 3 episode 2 but it's the same as episode 1. Is it a glitch in South Africa? Or it's the same for everybody that watched?

Just watched all 3 seasons of under the dome and they are all so good. I've been trying to find something similar, but nothing that has the same vibe. I watched from and wayward pines and they are good, but again they don't have the same vibe.

Is season 3 really end or whatever end?
After watch s1 I can say it's mid, but I willing to know the end of the dome.

Big Jim - I like this character, well written so far and carry the show.
Junior - I like the development, if only this guy kill barbie, it will be perfect.
Barbie - I don't like him, hero my ass.
Julia - Okay.
Angie - ... choice a side please, be nice or bad
Teenager - So you f or no.

I don't know why this series killed so many potential character...

Just found this show. haven't finished the first episode yet and it is SPOOKY!!! Is this going to be a really "blood and guts" kind of show. I'm not into that. Any advice. should I stop now and try to get that cow out of my mind?
