Progressive
Primary
The series explores the breakdown of society and human behavior under extreme pressure, critiquing both authoritarian abuses of power and the dangers of mob mentality without championing a specific political ideology as a solution.
The series 'Under the Dome' demonstrates significant diversity through its casting choices, which include explicit race and gender swaps for several characters from the original source material. While a prominent white male character is portrayed negatively as an antagonist, the narrative's core focus remains on the survival and mystery within the encapsulated town, rather than a broad, explicit critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Under the Dome features Carolyn Hill and Alice Calvert, a married lesbian couple, and their daughter Norrie. Their relationship is portrayed with dignity and normalcy, integrated into the community without being a source of conflict or ridicule. Alice's tragic death is due to external circumstances, not her identity, affirming the worth of their lives and love.
The character Dodee Weaver, originally white in the novel, is portrayed by an Asian-American actress. Similarly, Carolyn Hill, also white in the source material, is played by a Black actress in the show.
The show predominantly portrays Christianity through figures like Reverend Coggins and Big Jim Rennie, who are depicted as deeply corrupt, hypocritical, and manipulative. They exploit religious rhetoric and institutions for personal power and control, with the narrative consistently exposing their immorality and the destructive consequences of their actions.
The television series "Under the Dome" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a town mysteriously trapped under an invisible dome and the inhabitants' struggle for survival and understanding of their predicament, without incorporating transgender-specific storylines.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The television series "Under the Dome" is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel. A review of the main and recurring characters from the source material and their on-screen portrayals reveals no instances where a character's established gender was changed.
