      64% Tomatometer 25 Reviews 92% Audience Score 250+ Ratings Seth Davenport is a man masquerading as a small-town Iowa preacher in hopes of starting a full-blown insurrection against the status quo. Focused on his mission, he is unaware that an industrialist tycoon has hired a professional strikebreaker named Creeley Turner to stop the uprising by any means necessary. But unbeknownst to those around them, these two men already share a secret, bloody past. This epic saga about the secret history of the 1930s American heartland centers on the mythic conflict and bloody struggle between big money and the downtrodden, God and greed, charlatans and prophets.

      Steve Greene indieWire You won't find much hope in Damnation and that's an absence that can only exist unfilled for so long. Rated: C+ Nov 8, 2017 Full Review Emily St. James Vox Slow-moving and enamored of its own darkness as Damnation is, there's something vital and real in the show's insistence that the United States' institutions have failed and are only looking out for themselves. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 8, 2017 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx It plays its familiar tunes with brisk competence. All this has happened before, and it's happened much less effectively than on Damnation. Nov 7, 2017 Full Review Tayci Stallings Black Girl Nerds I am looking forward to what Damnation has in store for our characters and I have tons of questions. Jun 7, 2019 Full Review Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine The Great Depression's vicious class struggles, down to the dumbly surprising ubiquity of our country's white supremacist undercurrent, are leagues more compelling and relevant than any straight-up Western could possibly be right now. Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Jennifer Gannon Irish Times Damnation is a gritty tale of the American labour movement, the economics of greed, the seduction of capitalism, a terrain of strikes, starvation and bloodied soil. It's Deadwood long after the goldrush and minus sweary Lovejoy. Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      DARREN D Brilliant show they should have made more seasons Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Grey D Superb acting with a complex plot. Danmnation is a historical fiction with an old western feel. Think Boardwalk Empires meets Hell on Wheels. Real shame the show died so early. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Nicole H AWESOME SEASON!!!! A MUST TO WATCH! I WANT MORE SEASONS!!!!!! It's THAT GREAT!!!!!!! It is May 10, 2023 and I was looking for something to watch to pass by 45 minutes or so until I needed to go to bed. I love Westerns, Thrillers, Dramas, Action, and Love type shows. I also love Movies and Short Limited Series, however, usually when the Limited Series comes to an end, I'm ok with leaving it where it is. However this IS NOT the case with Damnation! I started watching this around 10:30 on May 8th, 2023 and couldn't stop. I was sleepy yes, but I just wanted to know what was going to happen next. I stayed up and watched 8 of the 10 episodes that one night. It was that Great of Season!! The next day, May 9th, 2023, I finished the last 2 episodes for the season. I have not looked at what year this was made when I first chose it to look at. So after watching the 10th episode, I went back to look to see when the next season would be I noticed that season one was put out in 2017. I merely googled when will the next season of damnation come out and found out that there was not gonna be a next season. Totally totally totally totally Disappointed! I WANT ANOTHER SEASON THEN ANOTHER THEN ANOTHER. IT IS WORTH WATCHING. YOU WANT BE LET DOWN. I HOPE THAT THE PRODUCERS SEE THIS AND OTHER INDIVIDUAL REVIEWS ON Damnation and give us more MORE MORE!! Check it out Damnation on Netflix!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review giorgio g Great series, great rhythm, interesting and deep characters, all facing a century old struggle that unfortunately is still pretty actual. A must see ! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty contrived, predictable, and over the top. I lasted about 20 minutes then shut it off. Netflix has been viewing some real stinkers lately. Trying to save a buck, I suppose.. Don't bother Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Have just finished binged watched this series only now to find that the series was cancelled - great dissapointment. The series showed so much promise for a dramatic series Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
