    Dominion is dark, and the angels portrayed here are scary--not the heavenly do-gooders we’ve come to know them as through other media. Based on the pilot episode, good has a long way to go before it can overcome evil--if that’s even possible.

    Dominion will never be confused with sophisticated TV but in its pilot episode, the only episode made available for review, it’s surprisingly more entertaining and a better yarn than plenty of other Syfy efforts.

    It still has a lot of work to do, but with care, Dominion has the potential to grow into something special.

    As the Chosen One, Egan is blond and bland. Dale and Head do well playing against type. As the Big Bad of the piece, Gabriel appears for perhaps 40 seconds of the 90-minute premiere and is still the most interesting character here.

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. If they can keep the production values up and the story moving forward this is a new show I will definitely be watching this summer.… Full Review »
