In , the residents of Chester’s Mill are suddenly trapped beneath a massive, indestructible, and transparent barrier that severs all ties to the outside world. Based on the novel by Stephen King , the first season consists of 13 episodes that follow the town’s descent into chaos as resources dwindle and a self-appointed "dictator," Big Jim Rennie, seizes power. Season 1 Episode Guide

For fans of Stephen King, Brian K. Vaughan ( Saga , Y: The Last Man ), or intense ensemble dramas like Lost or The Walking Dead , this season is essential viewing. The package is a time capsule of 2010s peak-TV experimentation.

The four teens (Joe, Norrie, Angie, and the newly awakened Junior) touch the mini-dome simultaneously, triggering a massive power surge that kills the town's backup generator. The "Four Hands" prophecy becomes real, marking them as the key to understanding the dome’s purpose.

Water becomes the enemy. The town’s main generator explodes, cutting off the water supply. As dehydration sets in, Big Jim makes a power play that turns the town council into a dictatorship. You will never look at a water tower the same way again.
