A series that draws its plot from a liberal interpretation of the biblical tradition is bound to attract some attention. A big fan of the Prophecy saga with Walken in the role of Gabriel I was excited to hear about this show that would indulge my craving for bigger doses of heretic theology.
Unfortunately the show failed to deliver. It brings nothing new to the scene, no new ideas or concepts; it simply recycles the age old cliché of the war of good and evil and some "chosen one". Add a trivial love story to the mix along with some kitsch aesthetics and pompous acting and presto! You get Dominion.
I could have overlooked the trivial plot had the Dominion offered it in a more enticing package. Unfortunately such a thing didn't happen. The show is burdened with a slow pace, many uninteresting subplots, undeveloped characters that you'll never miss once they're gone and to top it all up, unbearable pretentious British accent for no bloody good reason!
I am surprised this show saw a second season when other much more interesting series get cancelled.
