This post-apocalyptic drama takes place in the year 25 A.E., when an army of lower angels has waged war against mankind. Coming out of the 25-year-long battle are newly fortified cities that protect humans who survived the war. The largest of the cities -- Vega, formerly Las Vegas -- sees two houses vying for control, as political upheaval and a shift in power are on the horizon. Alex, a soldier helping protect Vega's aristocracy, is watched over by archangel Michael, the only angel to turn against his kind and side with humans during the Extermination War. Alex has a secret relationship with Claire, daughter of the Lord of the City, who wants her to marry someone else to help move the city past the caste system.

I'd like to see the women in the show get more than looking pretty time. But as the first episode was largely about laying down the groundwork, I'm hopeful there's still opportunity for that. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider 03/25/2019
For a summer show that's exploring something new on the supernatural spectrum, Dominion might be worth a look for a few episodes at least. But don't expect it to soar to exceptional heights. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 03/25/2019
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. Go to Full Review David S.E. Zapanta Den of Geek 03/25/2019

To say that SyFy's newest offering, Dominion, is simply another dystopian tale is to gloss over what may help turn this show into a guilty pleasure for many. Go to Full Review Meredith Woerner io9.com 03/25/2019
My absolute favorite part of Dominion was the introduction. It's a clever way to explain the fallout between humans and angels while playing around with religious iconography. Plus it's gorgeous. Go to Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago 07/02/2018

Emmanuel Tadiwanashe M @RT64475161 10/15/2024 Why did you stop on season 2 we want to see what happenes with lucifer See more 04/26/2016 It's not bad. Interesting take on what's going on up in the sky but it is definitely not a sequel to Legion. It's its own thing. See more 09/26/2015 This series showed potential and was fast paced but it mainly laid a solid and sound foundation for subsequent series. Very original with a cracking second series. See more 08/22/2015 First season was intriguing and captivating, followed up by a second season of fast paced action. The scenes between Carl Beukes (Gabriel) & Tom Wisdom (Michael) being the runaway favorites. Syfy has a winner in the writers and actors dept on this one!
