The “bleak and nasty” drama looks good, but it may be a tough sell, says Brian Lowry. Damnation feels more like a premium cable or FX show, not something you would find on USA. Lowry adds that it “definitely deserves credit for guts and grit, and the plot moves pretty briskly. Yet with the show's ambitions comes an old-fashioned capitalist conundrum: when marketing a concept that looks and sounds like a tough sell, the devil's in the details.”
