    Good costume and set design to really put you in the time and place of history, however the story and characters are wooden and dull. The gunshot effects are done really well but there is no feeling or intensity behind them i couldn't care less about any of the characters. Seemed to be wanting to push an obsolete political agenda with the narrative unless the main characters are supposedGood costume and set design to really put you in the time and place of history, however the story and characters are wooden and dull.

Seemed to be wanting to push an obsolete political agenda with the narrative unless the main characters are supposed to be fanatically misguided and bad so nobody to look up to in this? Very wooden no feeling, Nothing gripping… Expand

    This would be must watch TV, if you had only one channel and it played only this show. For Pete's sake, we have a minister who uses the word f*** in a sermon. The show consists of some poor farmers who are being mistreated by a banker. The banker kills farmers, and the farmers kill the banker's agents. Lots of blood. Stupid plot twists.

    Damnation spends so much of its early going caught in a spiral of misdirection that once the emphasis on bloodshed, doom, and duplicity wanes, a series with sharper insights might emerge. But in its current form, it’s a punishing watch, one with not much more to offer than an animalistic view of human nature.

    A lot of Damnation feels an awful lot like homework or worse: homework you’re forced to do on the sly while sitting in church listening to a sermon.

    Damnation is indisputably a good-looking show, and I think it has some things on its mind, though I wish the script had allowed the show to go more aggressively into the Man vs. Bank gear executive producer David Mackenzie brought to Hell or High Water. It's hampered by being a series that keeps its attentions most frequently honed on the aspect that engages me the least.
