Dominion

I have no idea why these reviewers that are trashing this show are so hard on it. It's a really decent TV show. I did not find it overly talkative or boring. Unless they are just having a religious issue with the show or expected it to be exactly like the movie LEGION or what?

I really don't get it. I've enjoyed the first 3 episodes, good plot, good acting , good sets, good cgi.

This is definitely a show to watch if you like sci fi/fantasy Not for kids tho, definitely. I watch a show to be entertained not to take it as an attack on my religion or to learn what God is about. If they want to make angels the enemy I got no problem with that. I mean the Devil was an angel too, right?

So to sum up , don't let the trash reviews scare you away they must have some agenda I'm not aware of because this really is a decent show if you like the genre (like how I used the word genre? shows I'm smart LOL)

If you like the pilot you'll like the show, If you don't then it's not for you. nuff said

I decided to watch this show just to kill a few minutes, didn't like the premise of it, and didn't expect much from the SyFy Channel.

All this changed after the first 20-30 minutes, plots, subplots, twists, complex characters and a unpredictable future were all cleverly woven into the story.

I was hooked, not so much by the special effects (they were decent), not by the acting (not bad) but by the story line. I feel there is great potential here for the development of characters within a good complex story.

I will be tuning in to see where this goes.

I'm so tired of watching these new shows, getting invested in them, only to have them canceled without any kind of conclusion.

It seems to be happening more and more. I'm at the point where I don't think I will bother watching any new show until there is at least 3 or 4 seasons that have been completed. I would rather binge watch them without commercials anyway.

I can list a ton of shows that I really enjoyed, and they simply pull the plug without any attempt to give us some closure. Dominion is another example of this. I agree, that the second season was a bit of a mess, but it was still a good show, and it looked like it was about to get really good again.

However, if they wanted to cancel it, fine, but for the love of all that is holy, they could have given us a couple more shows, and attempt to give us some closure.

Yup, I don't think I will start watching any new shows, unless they have a few season under their belt now. Especially if it is a SyFy show.

25 years ago, God disappeared. That's Dominion's opening line, and the introduction to the show's mythology. Now, you may be thinking, okay, this is a show about religion and angels and Christian belief. But before you judge all too quickly, let me stop you right there. Because it's not.

First and foremost, Dominion is a show about humanity trying to survive in a harsh, post-apocalyptic world. Mankind is caught in the middle of an ugly war waging between the Archangel Gabriel and the Archangel Michael. What is left of society is trying to overcome the hardships they face every day in the few cordoned off enclaves that withstood the invasion of Gabriel's lower angels. And it's Michael who tries to protect them to the best of his ability, waiting for the Chosen One, the savior of mankind, to be revealed.

Dominion is based on the movie Legion and continues the film's mythology, jumping ahead 25 years in time. Season 1 shows us the world of Vega (the former Las Vegas), which gives a home to many of the survivors of the Extermination War. While the people in the lower castes lives a rather measly life, the royalty of the city plot their schemes and get caught up in politics. It's ugly and complicated and ultimately explosive in these unstable times.

And while it's the political battles that keep Vega busy, Gabriel is plotting his next strike against the humans with his surviving army of higher and lower angels. All hope is now upon the Chosen One, who goes by the name of Alex Lannon, and who is struggling to understand what role the tattoos on his body may be playing in saving the earth and mankind from further destruction.

As we move into season 2, the show gets darker, grittier, and more powerful. The Dominion universe is extended to other cities and towns in what's left of North America. We discover the seemingly peaceful town of Mallory, AL, which raises a lot of questions. And then there's the unruly, messy underground city of New Delphi with its eccentric leader Julian. The power play has only just begun.

Would I recommend Dominion as a show to watch? Yes, absolutely! Its universe draws you in and wants you to learn more about the world of Vega and the Cradle. The characters are all intriguing with a lot of depth to them. I was hooked from the very first episode, and that says a lot because I was more than skeptical when I started watching it (and only did so because it came highly recommended by a friend).

If you haven't given it a try yourself, I can only recommend that you do so to form your own opinion. And if you're interested in learning more about the show, drop by dominionfans.com or syfy.com/dominion, which are both excellent starting points for finding out just what exactly you're in for.

Each episode has upped the ante and revealed even more of the post-apocalyptic world. The ensemble cast is phenomenal and the overall theme has gotten much darker than the first season. It feels like the writers streamlined the story and upped the emotional payoff for each episode. Truly enjoying where it is going and I hope it'll get a third season.

There seem to be a lot of reviews about religion and nay-saying regarding this show with people going out of their way to tank the ratings on here because of their idea of what the show is about. The show isn't about religion in the preaching sense, nor does it strictly follow the bible or any other doctrine. It has its own canon and own set of rules. If you can set that aside and look at it from JUST A STORYTELLING PERSPECTIVE, then hopefully you can enjoy the brilliance for what it is: A GREAT STORY.
