Under the Dome: Season 1
 
TV adaptation of Stephen kings novel by the same name.

Now the book was very good but so far it's turning out to be a bit of a lemon which is a shame.

I enjoyed the first episode enough to intend to continue

Whilst the outline of the book is there even after the first episode they have totally ruined it. But as I'm a die-hard king fan I'll stick with it. Like most tv/film versions of books nothing ever compares to the original story.

If you compare any film/tv-show againt the book then you'll always be disappointed. Take it for what it is a sci-fi show thats a bit rough around the edges lik most of them but has the cast that could carry it through.

I'm glad you said most.....

I found the Tommyknockers tv adaption much better than the book.

Yea there are some exceptions to the rule & I agree with you on TommyKnockers. I'm hoping JJ Abrams version (if it comes to fruition) of 11/22/63 is as good as the book, I like most of his stuff. He has a keen eye for detail and guidance.

I've only just started watching this - it is pretty weak so far and I'm in episode 4. Hoping this gets better soon...

It doesn't. It stays pretty flat all the way through then has a complete let down of a season finale.

They've got a lot of work to do if it's going to survive past season 2 that starts soon.

Yup. If anything I think it got worse, lol.

Every season there is something awful that I only continue to watch because it's awful and I enjoy the carcrash (e.g. The Event, FlashForward, season 1 of Revolution)... This past season it was Under The Dome.

Another Stephen King I can't be arsed to continue with..

When his stuff is good it's fantastic.When it's bad it's mediocre.

Compared to the book its awful.

The only bit I've enjoyed so far is the cow...

Junior is such a "good looking psycho" cliche.

I watched Ep.1 and couldn't find the enthusiasm to continue with it. :(

Basically there are too many psycho characters.
