A Breaking Bad alum turns up in the latest episode of Constantine.

Here’s our review…

We knew sooner or later that Chass daughter would find trouble.

A foe played by a Breaking Bad alum no less!

Well, at least his wardrobe matched the aesthetic of the villains Silver Age look.

Felix Faust was always a major DC villain and a legit threat to the entire Justice League.

Gasp, it was even more convoluted than I just made it seem.

Wasted villainous opportunities aside, the episode was really about Chas and his history as Constantines strong right arm.

As people died all around Chas, their souls were drawn into Constantines best mate.

Later in the episode, Constantine told Chas that the spell was originated by Merlin to protect King Arthur.

His newfound mission cost him his family adding an element of noble tragedy to Chass history.

Actually, now that I typed that out, I realize it was pretty cool.

The Samwise Gamgee to John Constantines chain smoking, womanizing, black magic wielding Frodo Baggins.

He also got smacked by Chass ex-wife and punched in the jaw by Chas.

Is it me or does someone deck Constantine at least once per episode.

The episode did cover the cult led by Zeds daddy.

Constantine now finally knows that Zeds father is after her.

The episode was a bit paint by numbers but saved itself by unraveling Chass fascinating and selfless origins.

He bedeviled the Justice League for decades.

I still wish that at some point he rang a bell though.
