According to this article, Stephen King's Under The Dome is being developed into a series for Showtime. I haven't read UTD, but it's sitting on my shelf right now waiting to be read. I'm not really sure what to think since i haven't read it yet but i am excited about it as i love Stephen King.

What does everyone think?

Haven't read the book, but I checked out some reviews on it and the concept could make a good show. Showtime did a great job with Dexter. I actually think I like the show better than the books.

So do i. I read Darkly Dreaming Dexter and didnt really like it

i love the sound of it alot, i dont read king books alot, but i do like his work with tv and his movies, and i will be looking forward to this.

i have just ordered the book now, sounds so interesting.

I actually liked Darkly Dreaming Dexter (not as much as the show though), but the other books got progressively worse till I stopped reading them. I had actually read the book first and was surprised they cast Michael C. Hall as Dexter. (I loved him in Six Feet Under, but couldn't see him as a serial killer.) God was I wrong, he plays that part perfect!! After seeing him do it, I can't think of an actor that would play it as well.

I was thinking about ordering it too then I saw it was over 1000 pages (typical King :p)

The book was good, but not one of my favourites.

I think the TV show starts in 4 days? Still not sure what it will be like but I'll give it a shot.

I read about some of the changes they made and was wary until I heard Stephen King approved them. I'm excited for this now

I'm going to watch this next week. The cast looks pretty good. A bunch of horror/sci-fi actors I've seen in other shows.

[ImmortalSlasher]

The lack of response here should be telling. But somehow this show got renewed yet again after that horrible second season.

I agree. It was pretty terrible.

[hammerfan]

I never finished watching the first season, and didn't bother with the second.

[ImmortalSlasher]

Cancelled. Finally. Only an episode or two left. The show already dropped to terrible levels. It should be really funny to see how they attempt to wrap everything up.

My problem with this show it was terrible compared to the book, has anybody here read the book?

[ImmortalSlasher]

I didn't read the book and after the show I have zero interest in it. Anything notable in the book that's worth checking out?
