Classic horror film "The Omen" is re-imagined in a fresh, contemporary take on the life of Damien Thorn, the mysterious child from the 1976 motion picture. Although he's now a romantic, complex protagonist, Thorn grew up seemingly unaware of the evil forces around him. The past catches up with Damien, forcing him to face his true identity -- that of the Antichrist, the most feared man throughout the ages. Written and co-executive produced by Glen Mazzara ("The Walking Dead," "The Shield"), the hourlong series stars Bradley James ("Merlin," "Homeland"), Oscar nominee Barbara Hershey ("Once Upon a Time"), Omid Abtahi ("Better Call Saul") and Megalyn Echikunwoke ("House of Lies").

Damien aims for epic darkness, but it only achieves blundering, dour obscurity. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 03/07/2016
This is a show almost completely without humor, an attitude that might get you through a two-hour movie but can wear a watcher out over the course of a TV series. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 03/07/2016
2/4
Bad writing, funny direction, deafening music - in the end, none of it is enough to kill the "Beast." It does rise, although not to the potential of its concept. Go to Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com 06/19/2020
Damien's main hurdle is going to be convincing us to care about a lead character who-despite being the freakin' Antichrist-is disappointingly bland. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 06/19/2020

Bradley James makes Damien worth watching. The character is an enigma. Go to Full Review Michael Slezak TV Line 06/19/2020

Lukes Family and Friends @LFAFSTYLE 03/12/2023 Example on why Requels shouldn't exist. See more Will M @WillMac 01/09/2023 Great show. Excellent sequel to The Omen. Too bad there is no Season 2. See more 05/04/2021 Great show need a season 2 please See more 08/01/2020 This was really was good Best show I've seen It really needs a sequel though. ME Sad about it cancelled after 1 season. If Only they bring it back somehow that would be Awesome OR Another series like this I would definitely watch it for sure. See more 06/02/2020 I found the show very entertaining. I was sad when I found out it was cancelled. Maybe they can bring it back. See more 05/31/2020 I was pulled in except if it was some sort of continuation of the Omen trilogy it didn't make sense. Damien was pure evil from the get go. The original parents died and so did his guardians. And this Damian is too nice a guy. A fun ride but not great. Kept me occupied during lockdown where I want nothing to tax my brain as did Band of Brothers which was awesome and a real horror story. See more Read all reviews
