Stephen King would like Netflix to start Under The Dome over “from scratch,” as we all would

In the glory summers of 2013 to 2015, we had the summer replacement series to end all summer replacement series: Under The Dome, on CBS. UTD explored the poor beleaguered residents of Chester’s Mill for three summer seasons, conjuring all sorts of possible conspiracy theories and rescue to plans to explore how they could survive under the dome and how they could possibly get out from under the dome. Aliens, red rain, evil butterflies, enigmatic eggs—it seemed that despite its dome-covered status, Chester’s Mill was still privy to all sorts of bizarre infestations and invasions. In the show’s final, 40th episode, the dome was finally shattered, and our expert reviewer Scott Von Doviak concluded, “The show died as it lived: making almost no sense.” It was fun for a summer hate-watch (see also: CBS’ Zoo) but lord, it wasn’t good.
