This show went from being a 'must see' to a 'if there's nothing better on' half way through the first series when I got fed up with the way the very unlikable Big Jim and Junior could seemingly get away with anything under the noses of the whole town and bounce back to herodom regardless of the nastiness they indulged in. Whatever bonus marks for the initial few episodes soon got struck off as it became less SciFi drama and suspended and more stupid sleepy silliness.
Unfortunately the 3rd series doesn't seem to have gotten off to a good start.
Its a confused mess with flash backs/forwards, confusing scenes and symbolism, and still too many boring characters and performances - will writers/directors/producers never learn that if you want to include such things do it sparsely or in blocks and not every 60 seconds in a random mishmash of forward/back/real/imagined...
What really bugs me thought is that this is supposedly taking place at approximately a week per series and already the dome has been forgotten by the outside world. Surely the external walls would be crawling with military and scientific equipment but instead the town is all alone after a just a few days - well apart from the obvious first attempt of throwing a MOABs at it...
Half way through Ss03e01 and so far its gone nowhere. It's a complete mess and I do wonder if I'll be awake at the end - and will I make time for ep02????? ....
...well actually I did make it to the end, and the surprise was anything but.
Boring, confused, waste of a good idea, ruining of a good series.
The few likable points and characters are simply overwhelmed by the inane and stupid. A polished look is not the same as looking good!
I give this a 3/10...and I think that's generous considering its a mess from first to last.
