A terrible movie that somehow spawned a TV show is a success on streaming

Remember that brief period of time when filmmaker Scott Stewart tried his damndest to turn mild-mannered English gent Paul Bettany into a badass action hero? Anyone? Well, it definitely happened, and the results weren’t great.

The one-two punch of Legion and Priest were released just sixteen months apart, where they each did middling box office business and wound up with dismal Rotten Tomatoes scores of 19% and 16%. Despite being objectively awful, the former did manage to launch a TV series, with Dominion set 25 years after the events of the movie, where it managed to run for two seasons before being canned by Syfy.
