For all you sci-fi fans out there, this summer should have been delightfully suspenseful. ‘Under The Dome’, a new show presented by CBS is based upon a novel by Stephen King. Needless to comment on King’s writing and his thrilling work, one can only wonder how good the show might be. There have been numerous television shows based upon novels, while most of them do get twisted in screenplay writing, some remain on par with the quality of the books. I prefer watching shows over movies, so it’s very obvious that I am a regular tv series fan regardless of the genre. While many pilot episodes have been extremely boring, ‘Under the Dome’ seems to have caught the viewer’s attention quite firmly. A story of a small town which gets trapped inside an invisible dome like barrier, UTD portrays its immediate effects on the lives of the people. Many dynamic characters are introduced along with tension within the authorities and struggle for survival. Will the show remain to be as mysterious as it has come off in the initial episodes? Spoiler alert till 6th episode, after that the show just gets a little too epic to spoil …
