Undescribable Perfection

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Dominion really is different. You might even call it flat out bizarre at certain points. As one who initially mistook it for another tacky zombie-ridden flesh crawler, it is now slightly difficult to explain why I still find the series "BRILLIANT" so long after cancellation. Stunning special effects and stunt work helped, to be sure. However, in time, I realized (at least for myself) that this alone wasn't what drew me in. Supernatural, controversial, graphic, dark... pick any aspect you wish. For me, this was all superseded by an incredible cast and all-too- human themes of love, hate, heartbreak, hope, and the battle for survival. If you started out, as I did, and found Dominion to be "bloody," "distasteful," or even irreverent, I will not disagree with that assessment. Very simply, I urge you to watch a few episodes again. Perhaps then, you'll understand how a former hater is now a loyal fan hoping that this unusual apocalyptic drama is soon revived. I would LOVE to see more of EVERY story line!

This TV series has all qualities I appreciate :Characters depicted in depth (men and women), evolving over episodes, facing situations that push them into their entrenchments and bring out the best or the worst of themselves. There are love stories between these characters but not only, there are also difficult father-son relationships, and enemy-friends brothers relationship.Original story : angels fighting against or beside the humans, a young lonely orphaned man learning gradually to become the chosen one who will save mankindActors of great quality, some of them already known and other new talents we discoveredProductors and actors sharing behind the scenes pictures with viewers, tweeting with fans, and still today after TV series was stoppedFans worldwide keeping supporting the TV series after it was stopped on a cliffhanger (without reason) and supporting the actors in their new projects.Dominion is amazing, one of a kind, and deserves a continuation, season 3 and more.

You know, i stopped watching SyFy many years ago. I love anything unexplainable, creatures and scientific mysteries so naturally Syfy drew me in but after a while the terrible use of CGI (computer generated images) terrible plot and story telling with undeveloped characters and bad acting ultimately drove me away. Well let me be the first to tell you if Dominion wanted to be indicative of the makeup and fabric of Syfy they accomplished it. Here's the top 5 blemishes from bad to worst that made this show an epic fail. There's more but i wanted to keep it limited to 5.5) After the first episode it wasn't quite what i thought. I was expecting the picture to have the look and feel of Greek/roman storytelling. Like Game of Thrones. The picture just looked cheap. Something just kept throwing me off, i couldn't keep my eyes fixated onto the screen enough to be engulfed in the story telling. Maybe part of it was the movement and positioning of the camera in some scenes.4.) Clichés and more of them! Nothing destroys a good story like clichés. Alex is upset that he was abandoned and doesn't want the responsibility of the chosen one. People that are on the brink (main characters) manage to someone get saved at the last minute. Shock us! Kill off someone we didn't expect, pull a Game of Thrones!3.) Acting is sub-par to terrible! Smh2.) The shoot set up was terrible!! Every time they show buildings for example the one representing Vega supposedly, looked like a cardboard model they built, the market square looked staged and fake, ughh it was awful.1.) I don't know why this irked me more than anything, maybe i've just developed a clinical sense to pay attention to the obvious and not the big picture but when the higher angels, like Michael for example constrict their wings where does it go? Does it magically retreat back into their backs?? If so fine..i can rock with that but wouldn't there be an opening either created by design or a sheer tear and rip left in the wake of their explosive wings expanding out of their back on the back of their clothes?? I can't..i cant!

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.
