A&E's "Damien" (Season 1)

[duggie walker]

Thought this was absolutely dreadful. I kind-of hate shows like this and Lucifer that are trying to recast Satan (!) as a guy we should be cheering for but there might have been some mileage in Damien very slowly figuring out who and what he is. Instead, they compressed it all into one episode and threw in a couple of lame deaths to boot. Damien looks like a GQ model and so quick to believe all the gobbledygook being thrown his way that he comes off like an imbecile.

I'll give Ep 2 a watch but I can't really see how they're going to redeem this one for me. Pity because BATES MOTEL has been surprisingly good.
