    OK so after the confusing mess of a pilot and reading on Wikipedia what is really going on, it is actually much better. But none of that is explained in the show.

    Based on the Pilot: The setting and plot make no sense. The movie Legion was set during/soon after the apocalypse, Dominion is set long after the apocalypse in some sort of new society which is never explained.

It doesn't tell you who any of the characters are or WTF is going on, it just waffles on at you about angels, prayers, chosen ones... the enemy are the angels but the supposed protagonists call each other archangels with no explanation. Its all just complete bollox.    … Expand

    Is this the best show on TV? No, but it certainly is not the worst. It has a nice looking cast and a really neat concept. It will need to add a bit more mystery to the Angels, so we see them as supernatural beings. Some of the critics are being unfair in their reviews, as they are always looking for the next Citizen Kane. It is fun to watch after a hard day. I say give it a chance.

    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.

    When Dominion isn’t preoccupied with filling in its portentous back story, it provides some capably filmed action and a higher grade of acting than usual for this kind of show.

    SyFy routinely demonstrates that today’s tricks have gotten too easy, which is why Dominion feels like it is unintentionally telling a separate story of a world in which humanity is held captive by quickie CGI.
