WOW!

I am absolutely blown away. I have not binged so hard on a series since … I can’t remember the last time I binged this hard on a series. I can’t stop watching it. I’m impatient to finish writing this review so I can get on to season two. (So if there are any typos, it’s because I didn’t wan to stop to do a spell check!)

Premise: An entire town and its surrounding areas, about a ten mile diameter, suddenly and inexplicably get trapped under an invisible, impenetrable dome. This happens in the pilot. The pilot spends a few minutes warming up, but once that dome smashes down so hard and fast that it cuts a cow clean in half … well, the action never stops after that.

There are dirty secrets in this town, some intriguing characters, some crazy characters, and the mystery of the dome. What is it? Where did it come from? Will it ever leave? And how will they survive beneath it?

There are a lot of intersecting subplots here that would take too much time to outline in their entirety. Besides, I don’t want to spoil anything for you. If you like mysterious, dramatic science fiction you should definitely check this out. But make sure you have time to watch a few episodes at a time because believe me, you won’t want to stop!

Now on to season 2…
