 That's a bit of good and a bit of bad, and a bit of the West as well. Hey guys, this is my review for the series Damnation. Now most of you might not have seen this. It did come out on Netflix, but it just so happened to come out almost if I'm correct at the exact same time as Altered Carbon. It was originally developed on USA, the American channel, and it ran its 10 episodes and then it got cancelled. Then Netflix picked it up and did an international distribution, and so far the certainty of the second season is very much in doubt, which is unfortunate because I really like this show. The show follows a farmer strike in Iowa, 1930. All this is led by a priest named Seth Davenport played by Killian Scott, and his character is one of the best reasons to watch this show. A former criminal trying to have a new outlook on life and trying to amend previous sins, he's trying to help these farmers by being a man of God, and through the actions he does he starts to believe what he is saying. He actually becomes a man of the cloth figuratively, but all the while he still retains the actions and the mentality that he had as a criminal. There's certain lines that he says, and because he's a priest, are very jaw dropping. For instance, there's a scene where this kid who's wrongfully convicted is in the jail and this dumbass deputy pulls a gun on the preacher when he's trying to talk to him. The preacher turns around, takes the gun out of his hand, and he says, where I come from people like you die very easily. Hearing that come from a priest character is one, extremely interesting because it's against the norm of what we expect from priest characters, and two, it's extremely refreshing. Killian Scott does a great turn on this character, and he is one of the driving forces of why he'll watch this. All the while there's this cowboy character called Creeley Turner, who's played by Tom Hardy's very cheap stunt double, the one who you thought was Tom Hardy, maybe a brief glance is in Prometheus. He is a strike breaker who is working against the farmers who is trying to work for the banks, but all the while he also has his own intentions at hand. What this show has is a bunch of characters who, by all rights, are bad people, but they are doing actions, are committing to goals that will make you actually become connected with them. There's this woman who's going around killing strikers, but you don't understand why, but as the story slowly starts to progress, you actually start to care for this woman who's outright cold-blooded murdered people. And that's what I liked about this show, is that with the theme, with the characters, with what was the goal of the show, of the characters in the show, you are drawn to these characters. However, the show does move very slowly. I'll admit that. It has a very slow burn. I admitted that I didn't binge through this show. I watched it almost as regularly as you would with an actual show. It took me about a month and a half to watch this all. But I did enjoy it. I never was once bored. I was fully committed to it. And I really dug the world. I dug the characters. I dug the directions that the show would take. But the show just so happened to have the unfortunate release date of, at the same time, if I'm correct, if not just before, just around the same time as Godless, which was another Western done by Netflix. And obviously it got creamed under that and altered carbon and all this other stuff. So Damnation doesn't have much going for it in terms of if it's going to get picked up for a second season. I hope it does because it did leave you on a cliffhanger. It does resolve most of the issues. But there's a few cliffhangers that really you couldn't predict what's going on. I have no idea what one of them is. I'm kind of interested in seeing if they continue it. If you're interested in a one-off season of a show about the end of the cowboy era, inadvertently, you should check out Damnation. I'm going to give the show a 5 out of 7. I really enjoyed it. Maybe you guys will like it too. Anyways, that's all for me. I hope you liked this video. If you did, leave a like. If you're interested in more, maybe hit subscribe. Otherwise, guys, that's all for me. I'll see you guys next time.
