Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Dominion Season 2 is worth clearing space for. What makes Dominion Season 2 work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. In this transformed post--apocalyptic future an army of lower angels, assembled by the archangel Gabriel, has waged a war of possession against mankind. The archangel Michael, turning against his own kind, has chosen to side with humanity against Gabriel. Season 2 sees Alex and Michael facing new threats, including a mysterious city called New Delphi and the machinations of higher angels. Christopher Egan and Tom Wisdom lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. Dominion Season 2 resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Dominion Season 2 is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Christopher Egan grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
