Most of your favourite shows are currently having season finales and it means the summer with nothing interesting on TV is around the corner. But do not despair, beside new epic show THE WHITE QUEEN which hits BBC this June and Starz in August, you will also watch brand new science fiction mystery show UNDER THE DOME over at CBS. Based on Stephen King's book, the new show should start its 13 episode run from Monday June 24th!
THE DOME STORY
FAITH, FEAR & FASCISM
Set in the not too distant future, UNDER THE DOME tells the story of the residents of the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine, who suddenly find themselves cut off from the rest of the world by a mysterious, impenetrable barrier that unexpectedly falls down from nowhere
surrounding the town. As the town begins to tear itself apart through panic, a small group of people attempt to maintain peace and order while also trying to uncover the truth behind the barrier and how to 
escape from it. Faced with the new situation, the people of Chester's Mill will first experience faith, then fear and then fascism since everything will go wrong under the dome and they will need an iron fist to bring them order!

ReplyDeleteGreetings .
it should, Vincent, lots of suspense!
DeleteI loved the book, but I hope they can come up with a better finale. The book ending reminded me far too much of Tommyknockers . . .
ReplyDeletethey say that the show will differ from the book to a certain extent, and they also said there is possibility for new seasons if this one is successful, so they will probably have a finale according to that :)
