A one-room horror where angels descend to destroy all of mankind because god left, but a baby is to be the saviour of all mankind.

Meh. This isn’t a particularly good movie.

Dominion – (2014 show) is based on Legion. I wouldn’t consider this movie mandatory viewing before watching Dominion. In fact, I would recommend against viewing this movie because the series is so much better.

A man gets a package from the future, whose contents predict events.

An adequate miniseries that I didn’t get through.

People at various times are abducted by aliens only to be returned in an extremely showy way, but with amnesia and superhuman abilities.

A series about as impressive as this sentence.

Global disaster survivors on a space station send 100 youths down who find an unfamiliar and dangerous world.

A mess of a Lord of the Flies meets teen-angst series.

Survivors of a plague that wipes out most humans make a desperate bid to undo it all by sending a man back in time.

I suppose it’s inevitable that a television series based around time travel will get convoluted really quickly because they stretch things out. Still, this doesn’t feel very good to me.

I agree with Ray Bradbury, who found the miniseries “just boring”. I couldn’t give this show much of a chance because it really shows its age.

Kids are trained as secret agents and assassins, but one girl wants a normal life.

This is a cutesy teen movie. Complete bubblegum. Not to be mistaken for a spy movie. That notion would risk heavy offence from so much hollow girlishness.

Maybe if you liked braindead teen flicks you’d be into this. I don’t, so I wasn’t.
