Syfy is giving us what could be yet another great show and I find myself very excited! I have always loved post–apocalyptic shows like this and hope that this one lives up to all the hype.
DESCRIPTION:
Based on the characters from the theatrical film Legion (2010), Dominion is an epic supernatural drama set in the near
future. Specifically, 25 years after "The Extinction War," when an army
of lower angels, assembled by the archangel Gabriel, waged war against
mankind. The archangel Michael, turning against his own kind, chose to
side with humanity. Rising out of the ashes of this long battle are
newly fortified cities which protect human survivors. At the center of
the series is the city of Vega, a glistening empire that has formed from
the ruins of what was once Las Vegas.
