Quotes

John Constantine: Are you wearing perfume?
Manny: What?
John Constantine: [laughs] You see that? You see that what you're feeling there, that's, that's embarrassment. It's socialized, not innate. And trust me, it's not worth it.
Manny: Look. I feel... guilty.
John Constantine: Oh, you feel guilty.
Manny: The man's body had all these feelings, and I used a woman to extinguish them.
John Constantine: You mean you made two poor sods feel pleasure. Momentary relief from the, uh, tragedy of everyday living. That doesn't sound like a sin to me, mate. But then again, you know, I wasn't around when ...

User Reviews

The Almighty One is Great

"Angels and Ministers of Grace" packs with action, tense moments and great and gory visuals. It also brings development to Manny's character that finally plays a large role in the narrative.

The episode kicks off when a patient is injured and brought to the hospital with black veins throughout her body. Constantine and the gang obviously comes to her and from then on the episode keeps on improving. It was nice to see how Constantine along side Manny try to puzzle out the clues leading to the villain who causes the havocs. Manny also now gets a decent amount of screen time than previous episodes and he was entertaining in it. Constantine remains intact and Zed gets more developed and interesting as the show progress. Although the villain is quite generic and just the typical guy who causes a large amount of trouble. The visuals in the episode were more eye-catching and gory shots are bravely shown. As far as I'm concerned the show has been excellent now that the characters are getting developed and we're getting more and more good episodes. Canceling a show which started off quite bad is just bullocks.

Overall +Development and a decent screen time for Manny, +Intense moments, +Constantine and Zed, -Generic Villain, +Visuals

Verdict: 8.6/10
