Dominion Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
“Dominion” is an epic supernatural drama set in the year 25 A.E. In this transformed post-apocalyptic future an army of lower angels, assembled by the archangel Gabriel, has waged a war of possession against mankind.
It only got 4 stars instead of 5 because the network sabotaged the darn show, and then cancelled it when it got really good. Completely insane. The characters are good, but grow into great. They made season one of the show virtually impossible to see. I couldn’t buy it, or find a place to watch it until just recently. I saw it on iTunes and bought it. Watched season 2 on Syfy online. Then they cancel. Ugh! Why would they expect people to start watching the series in season two if they missed season one. Very frustrating.

As a non-religious person, I wasn’t sure I would like this show since I assumed it would have some heavy-handed pro-religion message. I’m glad I gave it a chance, because that’s not the case. It’s just goofy post-apocalpytic fun. The acting and special effects are pretty a good by tv standards and the plot is great for binge watching. I can see how it would be pretty offensive to someone who takes their religious text literally (for example, the angels have orgies and occasionally whip people). Probably not appropriate for kids or younger teens – there is nudity and implied sex, and a lot violence. Super fun for adults though. 🙂

The story line for Dominion is an interesting extension of the Legion movie. It’s been 25 years since God disappeared without a word to any of his children, human or angel. Only a few mystical clues were left behind, the most prolific being a schematic of symbols “tattooed” to the skin of the “Chosen One” who is either the key to the world’s salvation or its damnation. The world essentially falls into chaos as the angels split alliances seeking to either destroy or protect mankind in hopes of catalyzing God’s return, with Archangel twins Michael, leading the charge to save, and Gabriel, leading the charge to destroy. The humans, desperate for survival, have also formed a post-apocalyptic caste system of extreme poverty and wealth in hopes of creating a sense of order as they fight against the angels, while trying to contain the fighting amongst themselves. Season 1 has many levels of intrigue, leaving you wondering who is a friend and who is foe. Relationships are tested and tried at every corner. This is definitely one of the best SyFy network series produced, from the cast to the sets and special effects. The story line is solid and so are the acting elements. They really found a nice balance between with the “human” condition and supernatural. The producer has taken something ancient and interpreted it into modern age. Filled full of intrigue and twists, it definitely keeps you wanting more. Dominion Season 1 has many levels of intrigue, leaving you wondering who is a friend and who is foe. Relationships are tested and tried at every corner. Watch it. It’s definitely worth purchasing to add to your collection if your into action and the supernatural.
