    What you need to know

    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

    Season 2 is ROCKING IT!

    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.

    tentatively promising pilot.

    Dominion seems to be the successor to the 2010 film "Legion".

    For those that don't remember it the plot is as follows, God abandons the Angels and they decide its mankind's fault, and thus the apocalypse is born. One angel alone amongst his brethren sides with humanity, and comes to a remote diner to protect one expecting mother whose child is prophesized to be mankind's only hope of survival.

    Dominion is set a significant while after the invasion, where by all accounts the demonic (angelic) invasion wiped out all but a few walled off highly defensible cities holding the last of human kind (the one we see bares a strong resemblance to Fallout's New Vegas), and then became somewhat dormant.

    The show has believable sets and effects, some interesting stylistic choices on armor and swords and city architecture. The plot isn't incredibly unique, but its not derivative enough that you will know the seasons plot after one episode. Although you likely will guess whats happening throughout the episode 30 seconds before it does happen, nothing is all that surprising.

    Decent fight scenes, acting that's up to par, multiple sources of adversity from the Angelic threat to your own people, with one particularly self deluded villain that you will instantly not like. They highlight some social issues like caste systems and economic disparities, which might become important to the story later down the road.

    Everything about the pilot is promising, if you're into fantasy entertainment this probably will excite you. Word of caution, only the pilot is released, and its from the Syfy network which doesn't bring its A game often (ever?). The only recently decent show from Syfy was Helix, which started out equally powerfully with no overt mistakes and a promising premise, but the more episodes of it you saw the more obvious it was that the possibilities you imagined in response to all the mysteries the show introduced were vastly superior to the illogical garbled mess the story turned into by the end of the season. I enjoyed the pilot, but if you're short on time wait for a while to see if the show maintains its quality.

    Surprised

    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.

    If you like gritty, post-apocalyptic mythology with a great level of depth, this is the show for you!

    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.

      Claire Riesen: [closing video to "An Introduction to Vega: The Citizen's Handbook"] Well, congratulations! This is a special day. With the oath you've taken, you are now a full citizen of Vega, and I'd like to officially welcome you to our city. Your hard work and contributions have and will continue to pay off. Remember, though, that with citizenship comes responsibility. The future of Vega depends upon the lasting contributions of citizens such as yourself. Your sacrifice and effort will ensure that Vega's promise of safety is passed on to generations yet to come. I hope this handbook has answered any and all of your questions, but I also hope that your civic education won't end with your citizenship. Visit Vega's Great Hall. Read the histories collected there, and stand proud, for now you can say "Civis Vega sum" because you are a citizen of Vega. May the Savior bless you; may he bless all of us.
