You mean the writers make it up as it goes & then it'll end up abruptly, & everyone who watched it for 10 years will be royally pissed?
I'll do like I did with Lost, then... I'll wait for the final episode & watch the whole ten years in one hour.
10:1 next post will derail this thread permanently!

It's really good. Tonight I'm gonna take nice shower...Jammies and curl up on the couch and watch Under the dome.

I'm watching the first episode right now. Just like Stephen King, not 10 minutes in & a whole bunch of characters has been introduced. If it all goes according to plan, they'll all have most of their stories fleshed out before long, with a few dark secrets hinted at.
The beginnings of King's adaptations all have the same mood, & I'm not complaining. "The Mist" still haunts my dreams every now & then.

I am. The cow being cut in half was brilliant! Classic King humour.
And in 10 minutes, the scene is set. Mood just like "The Mist", "Storm of the Century", "Maximum Overdrive", "The Langoliers", etc...
I'm in for the ride. Thanks for the heads up, Q!

I would advise against binge watching.
King's strength lies in his characters & VERY subtle humour. The story is always secondary. Sometimes, even not important at all.
If you watch the whole thing through, you won't be able to notice all the nuances & quirks of every character.
I'll be watching the second tonight & will go through one a day, that's just over two weeks. Quite manageable.
Although I have to say that some characters on the first episode weren't really up to par with King's other stuff. I hope there's an explanation why all the women in town are hitting on the strong, silent guy within 2 seconds of knowing him.
I can see how the girl would do that, but the news reporter is genuinely shocked when it's implied her husband is cheating on her. It doesn't add up that she'd be so chummy with a guy that just dropped out of nowhere, unless she's one of those clueless hypocrites that are so dumb they don't realize what they're doing. Again, she seems to be smart, so it doesn't add up.
Nitpicking, you say? Looking too much into characters in a TV series? Well, as a long time fan of King, I've been spoiled... & while I can overlook the blaring inconsistencies of every other author out there, I demand my Stephie to be absolutely perfect.
Or maybe it was Spielberg's doing. Yeah, Steven "Come Probe Me, PLEASE!" Spielberg will be my scapegoat for any inconsistencies, however minor, on this series.
I'm still pissed off at him for ruining the end of "The Dig", with the alien stating that "the human race is so strong & young & we can learn alot from you". Keep your fucking wet dreams to yourself, jackass!
And don't get me started on the Crystal Skull. Another amazing journey abruptly ruined right at the very end.
Fuck you, Spielberg. Seriously. I wish Madoff had sent him to the poor house.

I just, right now, finished the second episode.
It's really hard to keep myself from watching another one this instant.
Barbie is still a chick magnet, but that's ok.
Man, Stephie can really write the lunatics. Junior is goddamned fucking creepy.
Aaaaand someone snaps. Another typical move by the Kingmeister, but it always works. This one wasn't as believable though, as the timing just wasn't quite right. I blame Spielberg.
