    Diagonaldi Very well executed
    PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
    SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
    Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
    moomoo-79580 I thoroughly enjoyed watching Dominion, I have not seen LEGION, so I had no idea what this was about. The only disappointing part was the end. It seemed like there is should be another season to come but since this was made 4-5 years ago I doubt it. Otherwise a brilliantly displayed T.V. show. Acting, the set, CGI all really good.
    Linda Campbellton Dominion is a very engaging series that was canceled before its time. The writers have created a very believable post-apocalyptic world where angels and archangels reside along with humans, sub-humans, and of course, the much needed demons, and while the angels and archangels are blessed with very human foibles, they are at the same time believable. The music for the series at times seems to be very brooding and dark, but works well with the episodes.Vaun Wilmott (writer (creator) and producer), has created a world where God has vanished, but with a reluctant savior who ultimately discovers that he will save all of humanity, with archangels who are twins - both of whom can be good or bad depending on their situations, with a cast who seem to be born for the roles that they play, and with a story line that is exceptional. It is a series that moves forward very rapidly, part science-fiction, part drama, with times that even seem to be comedic in nature.Taking place 25 years after the Extermination Wars, the humans have taken residence in Vega, in what used to be Las Vegas. Gabriel wants God to return and believes that humanity must be exterminated for that to happen. Michael is Vega's protector and Commander of the Archangel Corps.In Season 1 we learn about Michael (Tom Wisdom), Gabriel (Carl Beukes), Alex (Christopher Egan), Claire (Roxanne McKee), and all the other inhabitants of Vega and the badlands outside of Vega. Upon the death of his father, Alex learns that he is the Savior of Mankind, a fact that has been prophesized for many years. 30 years ago, Michael saved the infant from Gabriel's wrath. The question in everyone's mind is -- who is Alex's father? In Season 2, we see a shift in locations to New Delphi and Mallory, Alabama. New Delphi gives us Julian - a Dyad who is part human and part higher angel. Laurel is introduced to us as the leader of her small town of Mallory. In the very last episode, Gabriel forces Michael to return to Mallory so that Gabriel can learn about this special town and Laurel. In that last episode, at the very end, we are also given enough information to make us believe that Lucifer is about to be resurrected.
    CrazyDane666 First i must say, that Dominion shows a lot of potential....I love post apocalypse movies and TV-shows, and i think that Dominion takes a interesting twist on this theme.But there are ONE big flaw that goes on in this show. (And many other TV-shows by the way) And it's actually very simple, more important characters should die! Yes i said DIE (And stay dead!)... Especially high thrilling action/fantasy/post apocalypse TV-shows! There is a reason why "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead" is so popular and high rated. Is because of the unpredictable tension it gets, when the show kills some of the important characters... (And of cause the great act and writing etc.)But in Dominion, you KNOW that no one is gonna die, and stay dead! (so far) And that's really a huge shame, because i really think that it has a great potential!.. But sadly it does not give me that thrilling excitement that it should..But if you like post apocalypse and biblical theme, then this show might be something for you to watch. Sorry if my English is not that great!
    maren_myhre This is one of the best series I have ever watched. Legion is a great movie, but you end up wanting more - what happened after? - and watching that grow into this deep and complex series.. I absolutely love it. Passion, love, hate, hopelessness, blind rage, compassion, it's such a wide range of emotions involved here. Watching the characters grow and develop - working on their different agendas, learning more and more about how this post-apocalyptic world works, exploring other cities such as New Delphi and Mallory, and how each town dealt with the aftermath of the first part of the war in different ways.The acting is amazing, the attention to detail, the costumes and makeup, the filming, and the cgi is just awesome. I love the wings! It's also really interesting how the creators of the series had their own takes on biblical events. The story of David for example - how him being murdered was what lead Gabriel to losing his love for humans. We get to see a whole other side of him, and - at least for me - that changed the way I felt about Gabriel for the better. Season two has a much more serious tone to it, and is a lot darker than the first. I love how we get to see flashbacks from biblical times, with Michael and Gabriel, and get to know their stories. Season two is where you really get to know the characters in such a deeper, darker way than the first season.I honestly don't understand where the bad reviews come from, but most of them seem to have been written by religious people offended by "angels being bad". All I can say is that I really hope newcomers don't just read those reviews and leave. I hope you take the time to watch the series, and form your own opinion. It would be such a shame to see a series with this much potential to run for a long time just be cancelled.Each episode is better than the last, and it keeps you hooked! I can't wait to see the last episodes of season two. Fingers crossed for season 3 +++++
