That was more like it! Well almost more like it, we are making some progress. It is too bad that seven episodes in the show has not found its feet and there are only 16 total episodes in this series.
Man I loved that Darla, wait that’s not it, Coralline came back to mess with Angel, wait that’s not it, Mick after he killed her. At least Mick didn’t kill her off (again) in this episode, like he did with the last interesting villain. Call me crazy but I think some evil law firm probably brought Coralline back from the dead to mess with Mick because he’s ruining their evil business.
Maybe it’s my snobbery coming through but I hate that Mick was turned in the 1950’s. He has not lived a very interesting life yet. He met Coralline when he was playing as a lounge singer. That’s his life story? B-O-R-I-N-G, I mean Angel wasn’t much as a human but his afterlife as a vampire has him experiencing some of the most interesting stuff in human history. Bill got to live through the Civil War even if he did fight for the wrong side.
I can’t help but feel like this show is just a retread that hasn’t brought anything new to the table. Last week was a rip off of True Blood and this week was lifted generously off Angel it just feels so recycled.
On the plus side I loved Josef coming along with Mick to the arsonists house. Jason Dohring is a terrific actor and I hope they keep using with what’s left in the series. Mick and Josef have good buddy cop chemistry. That said I still would not mind if they turned Josef against Mick because that could kick start the rest of the series.
