New Dominion Trailer (ASH)

This looks really good. I haven't seen the movie Legion yet, which this series is based on, but this is something different than we're seeing on TV and I like a change. Plus, ASH's American accent is great!
 
I'm so out of the loop.
I didn't even know about this until I started seeing the posters on the subway. xD
Looks like my kinda show. And then there's ASH. There couldn't possibly be any bad here......

Dont worry, this is the first time Im hearing about it. lol
Super excited to see Tony Head on tv again especially with an American accent. Looks like a good show, I wish I got the Syfy channel, so it will be a while before I get to check it out.
 
Dominion premieres this week, right after Defiance. Check out this preview clip...

Hooking into the next genre television trend, whether with the zombies of The Walking Dead or the vampires of True Blood, is like catching lightning in a bottle. Anthony Head, whom some may remember as Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and who now plays the power-hungry David Whele in Dominion, predicts that “angels are the new vampires.”

In this exclusive Dominion preview from Syfy, we see that the city of Vega - formerly Las Vegas - expects a second round of vengeful-angel war, the first bout of which has isolated humanity inside scattered fortified cities. Only Michael, the archangel, stands on the side of the humans, and everyone is vying for political and even religious influence to decide the course of the future. Hear it in the words of the cast members themselves:

Watch for Low-Flying Angels
‘Dominion’ Brings a Battle of Angels to Syfy

By MIKE HALE JUNE 18, 2014

“Dominion,” beginning Thursday night on Syfy, is a television series spun off from a movie. But we’re not talking about something like “The Avengers” or even, say, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” The source in this case is the little-noticed 2010 film “Legion,” in which a motley crew of humans, holed up in a desert diner, fight off a crew of malevolent angels with the help of the archangel Michael, who takes our side for one reason or another. Maybe pity? Hey, it’s been a while.

The TV show picks up the movie’s story 25 years later, when the angel-human wars have left the planet with a lot fewer humans. The survivors have withdrawn into fortified cities (protected by cool anti-angel cannons) and established a new society that’s a bit like ancient Rome’s and a lot like that in any number of old science-fiction films and TV shows. There is a chosen child who will save humanity (“Terminator,” “Believe”); there are jokey coed shower scenes in the military barracks (“Starship Troopers,” “Battlestar Galactica”); and there’s even an odd white-haired little girl who’s looked after by the hero (“Aliens”).

The show built out of these bits and pieces is utterly familiar and predictable, and the writing slides into solemn inanity (“You gave me up. A scribbled note in the night made that clear.”) often enough that no one should feel bad about giving it a miss.

On the other hand, fans of action-fantasy who are comfortable at Syfy’s level could do worse. 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. Perhaps it helps that the series is filmed in South Africa. The principal performers are British and Australian, rather than American and Canadian, and they range from capable (Christopher Egan as the hero, a young human soldier) to good (Tom Wisdom as Michael) to excellent: Anthony Head, the beloved Watcher of “Buffy,” as the requisite weaselly, egotistical politician who wants to move up to tyrant. If he succeeds, “Dominion” could be truly amusing.
