Quotes

Julia Shumway: [Opening narration, season 1] Chester's Mill is a place like any other. At least, it used to be until we were cut off from the rest of the world by a mysterious dome. Invisible, indestructible, and completely inescapable. We're trapped. We don't know where it came from or why it's here, but now that we're all trapped under the dome together, none of our secrets are safe.

User Reviews

Really wanted this show to be great but...

I just can't get into this TV show. My girlfriend thinks it is the best thing since slice bread, but I do not feel the same way at all. The idea behind the show sounded really awesome but after watching this show this "dome" has just become silly at best. This is a great example of the book is better then a movie, or in this case series. When I watch the show I have no connection with the characters and I really could not care if they lived or died. I also feel the "dome" is nothing more then smoke and mirrors to hook us in at the beginning.

The best I can muster is 5 out of a possible 10 and that is pushing it really. I will be surprised if this series last more then two seasons to be honest...
