Under the Dome (TV Series)

"This kind of limited series is a step in the right direction. And it sure helps that the first hour is intriguing as hell and filled with a lot of storytelling promise. If viewers catch the pilot, they’ll be back for the next episode. Some critics, too" 

"'Under the Dome' gets off to an addictive start (...), so much so that it’s hard to imagine any second-episode falloff in viewership" 

"King’s latest 'Twilight Zone'-like premise clearly has the potential to get under one’s skin" 

"We could all use a good summer TV diversion around now (...), 'Dome' could be just what we've needed" 

"The performances are solid, for the most part (...) the series could work well, despite the fact that the general conceit of people living in a microcosm has been a staple of literature, film and TV forever" 

"'Under the Dome' does have an air of King’s more sinister tendencies, but not enough of them in the first hour to suggest the sort of horror that’s worth sticking around for"
