Damien the TV series is a fairly generic supernatural conspiracy thriller with elements of the police procedural, a well-populated genre.
The pilot is relatively inert for a thriller as it pretty much tacks in all the expected directions.
Damien has moments of nicely spooky atmospherics, but it’s neither scary nor fun, and when you’re dealing with this topic and this character, you have to move in one of those two directions, or you’ll just lose the battle to the devil of tedium.
Damien is nothing more than cliche, right down to the use of Rottweilers as hellhounds.
That a series centered around the Antichrist is this scare-free, weirdly witless, and dramatically inert comes as a deeply unpleasant surprise.
The lack of suspense and originality is depressing.
It is a show in search of the right tone, littered with laughable dialogue and a notable uncertainty of what it’s supposed to be. The horror doesn’t work, the characters aren’t defined and the plot is ludicrous. You’d be better off watching one of the “Omen” sequels.
