      Season 1 – Damien

      2016 Drama Mystery & Thriller Horror List
      14% Tomatometer 22 Reviews 82% Audience Score 100+ Ratings 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").

      Emily L. Stephens AV Club Damien aims for epic darkness, but it only achieves blundering, dour obscurity. Rated: D+ Mar 8, 2016 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 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. Mar 7, 2016 Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 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. Rated: 2/4 Mar 7, 2016 Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com 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. Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Bradley James makes Damien worth watching. The character is an enigma. Rated: 3.8/5 Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Michael Slezak TV Line Show no sympathy for this devil - instead, cast it back into the pit from whence it came. Rated: D Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
