TV show description:
This TV series is based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King and revolves around the people of Chester’s Mill, a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by a massive transparent dome. They include:
An Army veteran, Dale “Barbie“ Barbara (Mike Vogel) is a handsome and enigmatic traveler who was passing through Chester’s Mill when the dome came down. He has a mysterious past that includes the reason why he was in the area.
Julia Shumway (Rachelle Lefevre) is the editor of The Independent, the local newspaper. She’s an investigative reporter who recently moved to town recently with her husband, Peter, a doctor at the medical clinic who’s now disappeared.
“Big Jim” Rennie (Dean Norris) is the owner of the region’s largest used car lot. He either commands respect or just buys it. He’s the only elected official left under the dome and his love for Chester’s Mill is surpassed only by his desire for power.
James “Junior” Rennie (Alexander Koch) has spent his life growing up in the shadow of his father. Despite the scholarship he earned to play college football, he’s willing to throw that all away to stay at home with his one real passion, Angie, his date to the junior prom. When Angie rejects him, a hidden side of Junior erupts, just as the dome comes crashing down around Chester’s Mill.
Angie McAlister (Britt Robertson) has had one goal — to leave Chester’s Mill forever. In the meantime, she’s been biding her time working the lunch shift at Sweetbriar Rose and as a candy-striper at the local health clinic. When the dome comes down, she finds herself trapped in a place she never imagined.
Joe McAlister (Colin Ford) is very smart and has an adventurous spirit. He becomes entranced by the dome. His truck-driver father and his mother are both trapped on the other side of the wall, and his older sister, Angie, is missing. Joe may have a connection to the dome that he, and no one else, can quite explain.
Sheriff Duke Perkins (Jeff Fahey) is the stoic face of this town who’s also had a hand in the town’s dirty laundry. For years, he’s mentored Linda Esquivel (Natalie Martinez), a young deputy with a soft smile but a hard edge. She’s trapped under the dome while her fiancé, Rusty Denton, is on the other side.
Norrie Calvert-Hill (Mackenzie Lintz) is a 16-year-old girl who’s en route to a tough-love camp with her parents when the dome comes down. She’s a world away from her home in California, with a town of strangers. Like Joe, she also has a strange connection to the dome.
Norrie’s parents are Alice Calvert (Samantha Mathis) and Carolyn Hill (Aisha Hinds), a pair of strong professionals from California. As they realize that there’s no way out of this strange town, they discover that they already know the other trapped people of better than they ever knew their neighbors back home.
Phil Bushey (Nicholas Strong) is the DJ at Chester’s Mill’s only independent rock station and finds himself in charge of the only radio station able to reach the town. Dodee Weaver (Jolene Purdy) is the station’s brainy engineer, and possesses technical skills unmatched by anyone in the dome, which proves to be a great resource.
Rose Twitchell (Beth Broderick) is the owner of the local diner, Sweetbriar Rose, where everyone seems to gather. Rose keeps the biscuits hot and the coffee fresh, and knows the comings and the goings of the town better than most anyone.
Episode #39 — The Enemy Within
As the Dome in Chester’s Mill comes down, the Resistance makes a final attempt to protect the outside world from the infected townspeople in the Kinship and their new queen.
First aired: September 10, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Under the Dome TV series? Do you think it should end or should have been renewed for a fourth season?
It is a okay show. It doesn’t move fast enough in some ways i guess. But at least it was a show we could watch.
I think it should return.
I absolutely love Under the Dome! It’s different and exciting! I could not believe when I heard they were cancelling! This is my favorite show and I wish they would reconsider. All the actors on it are exceptionally talented and interesting to watch. WHY WHY WHY with all the junk on tv (example: Big Brother) that keeps getting renewed are they cancelling this wonderful show? I’m not happy with CBS at all and they are no longer in my tv lineup.
I am SO disappointed that CBS cancelled this show! I love Under The Dome and the characters, story, actors etc.. I know there have been a lot of complaints about the direction the show has taken this season, but I’ve had no problem and stayed tuned! I agree with some of the other comments here too! There is SO much crap on TV and yes, this is different, a good drama, Stephen King, a survival story, etc! Couldn’t you give it one more season CBS? Please!?
I love that program! I am really disappointed that is is leaving. I look forward to seeing this show every week. I really do. Hpie you change your mind. With all of the great creative writing, I don’t see how you can just drop it. I am very disappointed that it is leaving. I do hope you will change your mind. Great show.
I think they should renew Under The Dome series not just because the actors in the show but because the show is not finished yet, the show (and writers) still have to show us what the life outside the dome will be like for the characters Under The Dome . Under the Dome has had three amazing season with the outstanding reviews the first two seasons . Now I don’t know what the third seasons reviews are but I do know that a lot and I mean a lot of people loved it and got so excited when we found… Read more »
Me too! They have great actors in this show . Really disappointed. But, there is nothing we can do. So sad.
The show started season 1 with a good premise……. but, this season an episode is worse than the week before. Its like they’re jumping the shark every week. I watch now more out of curiosity to see what comes next, but they can’t put this disaster out of its misery soon enough.
i think cbs taking off good shows sad I love watching under the dome and other shows you removed from cbs
I love watching Under the Dome. It’s a nice change from the other crap on TV. Good actors and script and always look forward to the next one. Please reconsider keeping this show. To cancel it would be so wrong!!
Why do they always cancel the good ones. So sick of sex and empire and reality shows. This is a good drama for God’s sake. Renew.
I think there is a lot of quality in the program and with a lot of interesting philosophical, social and psychological spiritual and even religious ideas that are or may be reflections of what may be happening on different levels in this society. There are always room for improvements and I think the program would be better without the overt violence. I think there are so many good directions this program could go though, and hopefully it could reflect some good redeeming values that I believe are inherently there and also waiting to come out within it more. Also I… Read more »
I love this show, if they are going to just take it off after the last hour airs, they should do a 2-hour movie to end it. I would love to see Junior get his. Maybe we should all send in snow globes to keep it on the air.
I have watched from the beginning and have begun to lose interest , but I would like to see an ending.
Under the Dome is a great series. CBS, Please don’t cancel it. My grandchildren and I enjoy watching Under the Dome!
I lost interested in this show the third season, they mess it up it’s not even close to the book any more. take it to the dump
I agree 100%!
