Stephen King may be one of the absolute best writers at creating a large parade of characters within a town who all have their own little lives, their own little fears, their own secrets and skeletons hiding in the closet. Dean Norris plays Big Jim Rennie, and I'm looking forward to watching him through the series; he is a great actor who is underused, so hopefully we get to see him shine here. I'm interested to see how the acting holds up.
From the moment you anticipate the dome dropping, this story is full of anxiety, and a gripping fear. As Barbie (Mike Vogel) watches it fall, a cow is dissected right through the middle, and we see it slowly separate, as our leading man starts to wonder what everyone soon is- what the hell is going on here? The first episode really hit the spot for me, and I'm hoping it continues on in the same fashion. Looks like a lot of suspense and tension to come. I think if it continues to be so well done, and ends in the same fashion, I'll have to update my rating to slap a big 10 out of 10 stars on it. Highly recommended! I'll have to kick myself in the ass after this, and finally read the original novel. Stephen King is certainly a master of his craft.
