Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

jaimy_vannuil Best show ever! PLEASE let there be a season 2!! I will watch the ... out of it!

bsant54 I thoroughly enjoyed this series. A SLEEPER.One thing about this show, you get to know the characters very well and fast - great writing and acting. Something you can rely on as the series progresses. Just finished it on Netflix. I only review titles I feel strongly about and this is definitely one of them.Basically, a cowboy Western cast in 30s USA Iowa with the required shoot outs, corrupt law enforcers, salt of the Earth country folk fighting for their rights and livelihoods, evil industrialists and your requisite group of evil doers...the show had a bit of everything from that genre and made it all come together in fine style.They assembled a very good group of actors for this show. Logan Marshall-Green brought a ruggedness and vulnerability to his character, playing the brother of Killian Scott's character - his acting and character grow on you as the series progresses. Scott's character was destined to fail redemption and zeal, in your face by Killian. One running away from his past, trying to reinvent himself and with the past catching up to him while the other embracing that past. They were both wonderful. The supporting cast were just as memorable and well acted by the likes of Christopher Heyerdahl, self interested Sheriff at the outset that does good in the end, Gabriel Mann was as slick and slimy as could be as the front man for an evil industrialist and Melinda Page Hamilton played the frightening, of one mind and yet predictable/unpredictable Connie...I will not spoil that gem of a performance for you. They were all very good. Just a few standouts for me where all the characters were memorable...too many to talk about here.Netflix or whomever created Damnation, bring us Season 2.

julesfdelorme As it stands right now, there will be no second season of Damnation. And that might well cause many people not to bother watching this series. But Netflix has demonstrated that it is no better than the traditional television networks at placing quality at or near the top of the list of priorities when it comes to maintaining or cancelling its programs. Fans of Dirk Gently, which Netflix has also cancelled, will attest to this. Damnation and Dirk Gently join a long list of excellent television series, such as Deadwood, The Black Donnellys or My Name is Earl which were cut off by boardroom executives who probably never even bothered to watch these shows, who place endless increase in ratings above all other things, who believe that a show's worth can be measured in nothing else but numbers. You should watch Damnation. You should watch it and, if you think that it is a show that deserves far better than it received, then you should let Netflix know that they were wrong in cancelling it. You should do the same for Dirk Gently and any other Netflix series that you think deserves to be allowed to continue. Because, unlike traditional networks, Netflix, and the USA network, from which the show actually originates, is completely dependent on its subscribers, who may not be able to work miracles, but if enough speak out may well be able to resurrect the recently dead. You should also watch Damnation just because it is so damn good. It has a brooding power which will cause inevitable comparison to Carnivale (Yes, another superb yet prematurely cancelled series) and Hell On Wheels. The two lead actors, Logan Marshall-Green and Killian Scott are almost certainly going to be in a neck and neck race as to who becomes the next major superstar/ male idol. Green could easily be cast as Tom Hardy's brother. In fact in some shots you might swear that it is Tom Hardy. Scott could easily be cast as Travis Fimmel, Ragnar from Vikings' brother. And both actors have that kind of smoldering intensity and flawless acting ability that makes it hard to believe that they could ever not end up being stars. The entire cast is in fact superb. It even includes Christopher Heyerdahl, who Hell on Wheels fans will remember as The Swede, one of the strangest and creepiest villains of all time. Damnation is just flat out great. Set in the Depression era, the story is set around the conflict between a farmer organizing preacher, played by Scott, the forces that want to prevent the farmers from organizing, including a strikebreaking cowboy, played chillingly by Green, and a corrupt sheriff played by Heyerdahl. But none of that is what makes Damnation so good. It is the superb tension and complexity of character, the darkly powerful intensity that makes this a series well worth watching, even if there isn't going to be another season. Watch Damnation. You'll see what I mean. And then, like me, you'll almost certainly want to send the mindless suits that cancelled this show to burn forever in... Well. Damnation.

kathrin_greif I wasn't sure what to expect, I just thought I try something new. I was hooked from the first episode, and it kept getting better and better! Not much of a big review writer, but since I've read it was cancelled after just one season, I had to put something out there.I loved the show, every minute of it. beautiful.
