Under the Dome is a science fiction novel by Stephen King published in November 2009. Set in and around a small Maine town, it tells an intricate, multi-character and point-of-view story of how the town's inhabitants contend with the calamity of being suddenly cut off from the outside world by an impassable, invisible barrier; one that literally drops out of a clear blue sky.

I read the book. I tried to watch the series but it deviates so far from the book that I couldn't watch it.

Haven't gotten into this one yet. I am consistently disappointed with movies and series based on Stephen King novels. They always ruin them.

Ok... except for Christine. :)

1st two seasons were really good; this 2-hr premiere was a little confusing @ first but as it went on, we got it figured out :)

OK, I may be 1-1/2 years behind, but I've finally started watching this (just finished the 1st season). Pretty decent IMO. Kinda sad that I already know that it ends after 3 seasons, but so far pretty good.

There are a couple things bugging me, but compared to a lot of SciFy shows, at least there's some meat on the bone. Reminds me a lot of Revolution which met a similar fate.
