Yay, another good episode! As the reports say, Constantine found its feet with
S104 A Feast of Friends and except for S106 Curse of Caliban has continued with strong episodes.
Highlights in this episode:
- no big focus on gore
- a mystery with a twist
- continued development of supporting characters - Chas has a son; Zed wants to believe, and is also being hunted
- Manny does something - and there will be consequences
- focus, yet again, on the general human element of the story
Especially liked the twist that the preacher had accidentally killed his own father, and so had been on his way to Hell - and had been given the feather, rather than taken it. Even more so - that he wasn't killed by the ghouls he created, but instead, was left to remain alive and face the consequences of what he had done.
This is all what
Constantine needs to be about, and they did it well. Even better, my family are finally happy to watch it without being nagged - the TV series now stands on its own two feet, without relying on nostalgia for the
Hellblazer comic.
