Are there any TV series you gave up on, or just forgot about due to insane gaps between seasons? (lemm.ee)

Under the Dome, there was quite a lot of hype because of the book of the same name by Stepfen King, but the show was not good. I stopped watching in the middle of the first season.

It's apparently very hard to do a Stephen King adaptation. For every good one there's 5 complete failures plus a movie that only used the name and ignored the plot (looking at you, lawnmower man, dark tower, and running man)

Did you read the book? I vaguely remember both and I feel like when the show veered from the book is when it started to go off the rails.

No, but I heard good things about it. I probably would have if the show was any good.
