Damien ReviewI just watched this series. Lots of potential. Here are a few likes and dislikes:Characters. Bradley James in the title role is believable as Damien. He manages to convince us that on some level (his conscious) he is good, even though we know (and he suspects) he's the antichrist. By the time the scence at the wake rolls around you know his subconscious has other ideas as James delivers a subtle performance displaying the charisma and strength he'll use to become the political powerhouse prophesied. (That slight piece of dialogue reminded me of Tarantino). Good job with the accent, James.Ann Rutlegde played by Barbara Hershey is simple in her complexity. Like Damien, you can't hate the woman. Her fierceness as protector/believer; her maternal warmth met with the tough love for a child she hopes will become all he can be. This makes you understand and respect her decisions. Yet, with every scene you feel like you haven't scratched the surface of the character. It would have been a joy to watch her peel away the layers. Scott Wilson (Lyons) does his job as an understated baddie, while (Simone) Megalyn E.K. is given way too much as one of the biggest catalysts on Damien's journey. This character does not deserve that role. She feels forced upon the audience.The first episode felt in a hurry, but began to settle in around the 3rd episode. Setting. Set in NY? Doesn't feel like it. If you're mentioning NY as much as you did in the first two episodes then make it so. NY is a character all it's own and that did not come through on this set. Work with the location scouts from "Strain." The cinematographer, though, did their best to compensate and get us in the mood for the apocalypse.I have not written a review in a very, very, very long time. Nor have I written a review on something that no longers airs. It is my wish that this series be resurrected a la "Arrested Development." Cheers!

hi i do not know if i should write here about this,but it is only one question that i have and it is there will be more from the series or it is like many other ,,,,the people adored it and cant wait to see how would at after the interesting finish and then nothing you began to make another show ,that is 1000 time worst by Damien ,Constantin(by the way were the best also)the withes from east end..and many many more and instead those we should watch things for washing our imagination better oops to don't forget Outcast which one is something new and special.. thank you for you attention.............GOD Bless you with all mine respect Viktoria

we haven't much time Mr Thorn. After so many! years , finally we have series of our favorite movie. isn't that great!!?? or what?? The plot , the characters, the story line, Perfect!! Very well adjusted to the modern present we are living. A present which is so cynical and ironical that can easily destroy the evil atmosphere of the episodes. i like the part that i see no humorous quote not even one in all 10 episodes now. so everything is under control, and this shows how much work has been done to all dialogues. we are fans!! we need more!! we waited for so long so i would recommend some adjustments if of course there is the thought to make more episodes. maybe some more incidents to happen , some dark.. evil accidents, deaths,.. cloudy weather..miserable faces on the road , we want to feel more the demonic presence to shadow the city. (CGI adjustments are acceptable)

If you've seen the original Omen movies you've seen Damien. All this show does is rehash the same ideas and lines from the movie and then repeated over and over again, beaten to death in each and every episode.The original movies were great for introducing this style of story telling. The use of the unknown and subtle implication was great at the time. However in Damien the writers seem to depend on nothing more than creepiness, scary imagery, and nonsensical babble. When you watch an ongoing TV series you expect the characters to develop in some way, you expect a story to unfold to reveal a new world to you, but that just doesn't happen in Damien. The characters lack any actual motivation for why they do the things they do and you're just supposed to except that one person is crazy, another is obsessed, and another is devoted, and people just appear out of nowhere, with no rhyme or reason. Everything feels really forced and extremely stupid.I can see why it was canceled. It wasn't going anywhere.Unless you're into cheesy horror movies which just show creepy things repeatedly and you don't care for crappy dialog and next to zero plot then you're probably not going to enjoy Damien.
