Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

beverley-44782 The thing about this series is that you will always get a whole lot of people with really closed minds who take offense at the story-line deviating from whatever their beliefs happen to be. This is a creative and refreshing take on angels, God and mankind. Good acting and casting, great choice of location (I live in South Africa) and seems to be interesting build in characters and plot at the end of the 2nd series. And then I believe next season cancelled. A terrible pity and probably due to pressure from closed religious minds. Sad that the difference between religion and spirituality is so hard for some to comprehend.

metalrage666 Dominion is a classic example of a good story ruined by poor writing, acting and direction.Based on the 2010 movie "Legion", Dominion is the story of a war on mankind by various levels of angels. You think you wouldn't be able to screw that up to any extent, but after watching 2 seasons of Dominion, you'd be wrong.We're told that apparently God has disappeared, if you can believe that, and that for the last 25 years man has been at war with angels, with most of mankind being possessed with what they call lower angels. It seems that lower angels are not able to visit earth without possessing a human body and in doing so it turns peoples' eyes black, so these possessed souls are nicknamed "eight-balls".Most of the action takes place in and around the city of Vega, which is actually Las Vegas and to protect themselves from these eight-balls, the city is surrounded by high walls mounted with gun turrets. Inside, the city is protected by an army calling itself the Archangel Corps. With a story and a setting like this the show should really write itself but not only are most of the episodes overly drawn out and boring, the acting is so wooden, every single person in it is practically a cardboard cut-out. There are 2 Archangels, Michael and Gabriel who would have to be the weakest most pathetic excuses for Archangels ever to be portrayed. The whole thing is supposed to be centered around the chosen one, but he's just as useless as everybody else.The worst part throughout both seasons is the constant array of annoying story arcs and the frustrating switches from scene to scene without any apparent direction. One minute we're in the desert, the next scene we're in a basement, then we're in a cave, then we switch back to the desert and then we're in a hotel room, then we could be on a rooftop or we end up 3000 years in the past and on and on it goes. By the time a particular arc manages complete itself you've lost track of the story and you no longer care.All the women in this appear to be angry, ball-busting, know-it-all trolls and all the men are angry, emasculated, know-nothing idiots; and that includes the 2 Archangels. They've tried to spice it up by interspersing the constant bickering and backstabbing with nudity and sex scenes but even with this included, nothing happens! The nudity is only ever seen from the rear or from a distance and sex scenes take place in heavy shadow or obscured by objects. They've even thrown in the odd lesbian scene, but all of it couldn't be more boring if they tried.After sitting through 2 seasons of this nonsense, there still doesn't appear to be any real purpose to what Dominion is trying to achieve and the stories appear to be made up as they're going along. All manner of higher angels can hide in human bodies and they don't appear to have the ability to even recognise each other. Even the Archangels seem to be unable to tell a regular human from a higher angel disguised as a human. And the idea that "God has disappeared" makes no sense at all. Where has he disappeared to? Why? And to us on Earth, how would anybody even know the difference? I thought that season 2 would at least try an answer some of these questions and also find some stability but all we got was more story arcs, new characters and even more questions of "what the hell is going on here?" In both seasons, the constant changes in who has the upper hand at any given moment is incredibly frustrating. Almost every character who manages to come out on top at any particular moment is then brought crashing down again by their own hubris. The only thing season 2 answered was that Gabriel opened the seventh seal which unleashed hell on earth causing all the lower angels to descend and attack us. This was via another flashback to 2016 and lasted all of 2 minutes before we were transported again back to another story arc.If there is a season 3, I can't see myself wasting any more time on waiting for a good premise to actually start getting interesting.

vanettelstarr-163-9775 What a twist for an ending in season two! Fantastic! Can't wait for season three! The writing just gets better and better! I look forward to the next level of installment in evil in this apocalyptic version of scripture. I didn't see Noam's as a betrayer or that David would all the sudden give himself up for unselfish reasons? And how do we goon without the female lead? I'm excited to see what's in store for us next? Who will be Alex's heart to fight for? And where the world is God? Are we to believe there is no God to prevail over evil? Is man alone to fight Satan? These are questions I'm left with and I hope they're answered in season three? Look forward to it!

kaushikbharadwaj I found the show randomly. Started watching them even before i knew it was the sequel of the film Legion. Then I watched Legion before watching the second episode. Lot better than Legion in technical terms, not in story. Dominion(TV series) deserves a lot than it actually deserved. Done a great job with limited resources. Can't expect everyone to have the budget like game of thrones. A very good effort even with limited resources. I hope it will run long time, as i saw many shows grow with time. Take supernatural for example. If you see the first two seasons of supernatural the did seem to be above normal but over time they could make 10 seasons of 23 episodes each. Really a mind bobbling effort by them. Mind you they did not lose the culture in time viz., the Impala, the relationship between brothers, Angel Castiel and many such things made them to stick together. Similarly I hope it grows into something big and will not lose its core values in mean time.P.S. Sorry to makers of dominion to compare with Supernatural, I felt better if i compared them.
