What do you think? Do you like the Damien TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Great show, got really good after a slow start, renew
I say renew it , Yes started slow but picked up steam with each episode. Can’t wait to see what will happen season 2 if picked back up .Doesn’t look promising with the way ratings look. A&E needs to let it run another season because I know word of mouth is getting around
Omen 3 and IV were garbage, there’s no denying that. This series is being judged based on the final two films, which it doesn’t even follow. If you’ve seen every episode to date, there is plenty of horror, death, and the main character spends most of his time being tortured by the belief he’s going to destroy everything… how much suffering does one series need to have to be considered ‘horror’? I guess male emotional suffering doesn’t count, maybe they should have cast Damien as a woman, then when the character suffers emotionally instead of people seeing the white male… Read more »
I barely think of the movies when I’m watching the show. The child in the movie seems heartless like pure evil and dead inside of his eyes. It doesn’t make sense to me that he would be the evil child he was in the movie then becoming the man he is in the series. Honestly in my opinion the show stands on its own and carries little remnants of the film but I do not mind when they do link the two. I find it surprisingly delicious.
Keep this show going. I think the horror is just beginning.
I hope this show gets cancelled. It is the slowest moving drama currently on TV. They have a great cast, but something is lacking in the writing or direction. The Omen and Omen II were good films, but everything that came after them was really bad; Damien continues that tradition.
Love this show, out of the ordinary..keep it!!!
absolutely LOVEIT!! do not cancel
Please renew this show. Its really good and keeps my interest.
Please do not cancel. I am enjoying it more and more and love the link back to the original Omen. Please keep it on! I also look forward to it every Monday. It is such a treat to have true “horror” not shock and awe style, it is rare these days. The show is smart, which is also what makes it so enjoyable.
Please don’t cancell. A show needs more then one season to prove it’s self. The first season is usually the set up and the second season brings it together.
Please renew
Renew it Renew it Renew itRenew it Renew it The series deserves a chance The series deserves a chance
I look forward to this show every Monday! It is getting better each and every time I watch. It would be a great disappointment if the show was cancelled!
Excellent show! Please renew.
Fantastic show. Why aren’t more people watching it?
Love this show, much different than the run of the mill, please renew. Damien is in my top ten.
