This a TV series based on the fictional life of Damien Thorn, a man whose actual parents are Satan and a ...Jackal, thus making him the Antichrist.
Not only it is based on Richard Donner's The Omen (1976) but also in the pilot episode (and probably later on), short segments from the original movie with Gregory Peck and Lee Remick are included, as forgotten memories or flashback, tinted in red color. That gives to the series a degree of credibility and maybe is a promise for a solid plot.
Bradley James is very efficient as the 30 y.o. Damien, who (initially at least) struggles against his nature and his true identity.
The series seems to have High production values, but then again many pilot episodes have usually a bigger budget and thorough development.
Don't expect this to be a horror TV show. It tries more to resemble the atmosphere of the (first) movie. More creepy than scary, more psychological, more dark...
I'll say it seems like a decent effort. Neither the music (modernized Male demonic choruses) or the editing (sometimes slow, sometimes abrupt) bothered me, and the cast and performances are also decent. I'll keep watching, at least for now...
