With the Angels – EP 2 “Sunset Sunrise”

Things look better in the morning.

3 Swirlies

“I thought I’d watch the sun rise over the ocean for the first time. Only the sun doesn’t rise over this ocean.”

We learn we a little more about Taffy, and get to see her try to bond with her roommate.

This one has a little less pathos than the first one, and little less in the way of overwrought voice over.

This is the real pilot – a lot of exposition (which is mostly well delivered) and a good grounding in what the characters are looking for. Taffy came to L.A. looking for a new life, and while she feels disconnected from the big city life all around her her trust in God allows her to have faith that she’ll figure it out.

Any series that can make me feel sympathetic to a character that talks about God and Jesus is pretty well done.

Still not sure about that accent, though.

This is still the only series I’ve come across that’s all drama. Does anyone have any recommendations?

With the Angels – EP 1: Life Of The Party

Fish-out-of-water story of a small town Arkansas girl swimming in the freak-infested waters of Venice Beach, CA

(Almost) 3 Swirlies

“Am I really that different from everybody else?”

Almost there…

There’s not too many attempts at straight out drama on the web. So I not only applaud “With the Angels” for trying it, but for getting so many things right.

A young girl from Arkansas moves to L.A., but finds herself an outsider in the shallow, flakey, freaky lives that populate Venice Beach. What really works for me is the idea of the perpetual outsider looking for a place to fit in. Usually it’s a problem when your main character is a passive observer, but these guys make it work.Main character Taffy is both protagonist and storyteller – we very much see everything through her eyes – a trick that is often attempted but rarely carried off.

Even here, there’s a few things that come close to dragging the good parts down. The confessional parts (especially the first of the two in this episode) made me glance at the time bar. Death for internet video. Luckily the moments at the party were skillfully done, turning Taffy into enough of an underdog to make us root for her.

My other big question mark is the accent. Is that for real? It sounds put on to me. But what do I know? My fiancee tells me every accent I try to do sounds like John Lennon.

So… some good. Some bad. Where’s the story? We’ll see if the people behind “With the Angels” have any clear idea in the next few episodes.
