    Only Anthony Stewart Head, nefariously pulling strings as a Machiavellian senator, keeps things from becoming entirely hellish. [20 Jun 2014, p.59]

    It's a lot of exposition to get through, and that's just what writer Vaun Wilmott and director Scott Stewart, the latter of whom also worked on "Legion," do--they get through it, with way too much talking and not nearly enough bodies exploding into acid.

    Even as a guilty pleasure, the series requires a willingness to suspend concerns about logic, and embrace the elaborate plot entirely on its own terms, ignoring the sizable gaps in coherence as the opener races through its setup.

    Syfy's latest drama, Dominion, may be one of the dumbest, worst-acted, most poorly written series I've seen in ages. In no way should this encourage you to tune in hoping to rubberneck this bit of awfulness in hopes of creating some kind of new drinking game.

It takes a lot to hold my attention and I was glued to my tv for the entire first episode... and disappointed it wasn't longer.
