Well, unlike the writers, I actually ended up finishing this.

This had so much promise, even considering the second season either killed off or ruined almost every character I liked. But it fell into the same trap that LOST did where it tried to become something truly epic when it was much better off just being about an ensemble of characters figuring out how to survive this event. Unlike LOST, too many characters were not done justice, and it didn't even get a proper conclusion. This would have been so much better if they'd left out all the alien shit and made the conflict about Big Jim's struggle for power, had him be the big bad after all; the town gets destroyed as the dome comes down and, refusing to give up an ounce of power even in the face of doom, the captain goes down with the ship.

Barbie managed to stay (mostly) consistently good and Angie got killed off early enough to avoid getting ruined so those were probably my two favorite characters, with Big Jim and Julia marching in behind them.

Despite Season 2 actually managing to trick me into liking him for a while, Junior was the Goddamn worst.

And now to binge some comedies for a while before I give another "event" drama a shot.
