Damnation

I measure how well done a show is by whether or not I think about it in the days between episodes. This is one of those rare shows that caused me to think about it with anticipation. Damnation will definitely be on my short list of new favorites. The character development drives the story. I took off a star because the pacing wasn't perfect, but for the most part it was spot on.

I do not usually review shows, but I decided to review this one because I was surprised that the overall user rating was so low for the quality of the series. As I suspected, when I read other user reviews I saw that they lowballed it because they do not agree with the political slant, as a result it jaundiced the overall rating. The acting was well done, the cinematography is first rate, I adored the costuming and sets. Basically, I do not understand how anyone could give this show a 1 star because they do not agree with the politics. Do yourself a favor and watch for yourself and decide, unless of course you are too much of a snowflake to watch programming that disagrees with your political views.
