This follows the events in the movie 'Legion'. Angels have descended upon the Earth to wipe out the human race. The Archangel Michael decides to defend humanity placing his hopes in Alex Lannen who is secretly the chosen savior. Alex is a soldier in Vega, formerly Las Vegas. The city is led by Gen. Edward Riesen who is protective of his daughter Lady Claire Riesen. Senator David Whele is an ambitious political leader and his son William Whele is unstable. Archangel Gabriel aims to destroy the city by using lower angels called 8-balls.
I'm not a big fan of Legion but I kind of liked the idea. So this show continues with that idea. I like the political intrigue between Whele and Riesen. So the show has some interesting potential. I don't know why these people have gathered in Vegas. It seems like an unlikely place for people to survive. In reality, these people wouldn't have enough water to live on and they can forget about growing enough food. While the younger cast members are beautiful people, they are also a little stiff. Anthony Head and Alan Dale are great but Christopher Egan doesn't have much range. He's not powerful enough and his character Alex is a little whiny. Roxanne McKee is better as she becomes bigger than a girlfriend character. This show needs some better writing and a more compelling lead character.
