Had the show not tried to include the original movie or at least tweaked it, it might not have been so bad. However, the used original footage suggesting that The Omen and Damien existed on the same timeline. If that is the case, Damien should have been 10 years older than what he was. I understand that he was supposed to find his true calling as the Antichrist at the same age that Jesus died on the Cross but it wasn't that important to the plot and just created a plot hole. Furthermore, it was evident from the very beginning of The Omen that Damien was well aware that he was less than human, yet they make it so Damien "forgets" everything that happened before his 5th birthday? No. Not working for me. Plus, they try to make Damien seem as though he has a moral dilemma. Damien is the Antichrist. Just as Jesus Christ could do no evil, the Antichrist (Damien) can do no good. Damien, especially as he grew older, should have become more and more evil. Damien was never intended to be a likable character. Perhaps extremely charming and cunning but not likable and much less moral. I feel like the original intentions of The Omen were lost in this sub-par television.adaptation. If you genuinely enjoyed The Omen and the original story, this is absolutely not the show for you.
