There's a lot more religion than I would have realized in the show (I haven't read the comic, so if that's an aspect of it, I didn't know). But I think they've done well with the writing, and I agree that the casting was well done.


I like the show and think they did a great job with the casting and with sticking to the vibe of the earlier comics (the best ones, IMO, written by Jamie Delano) while integrating a few elements that aren't revealed til much later in the comic series. At its best, the show reminds me of David Tennant-era Doctor Who, but with more supernatural than science.
Hellblazer was the direct inspiration for so many successful TV series in recent years, so it's a shame that the Hollywood film version of it was awful and that the TV series has already been cancelled. I think it would have done better on cable than NBC.
I'm enjoying it more each week. I love the casting - John, Zed, Chaz, the angel. (< Um, can't remember his name but I love the actor. I always call him Mercutio because I first saw him in Baz Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet.)
