10/10
All That Jazz recycled?

Warning: Spoilers
This could be a Spoiler, so please, if you haven't watched season 2 then stop reading now.

Did anybody notice the similarity between All That Jazz's Angel of Death and that of Julia's Lifecoach during her near-death experience? The way she is dressed (the Angel that is) and the end where Julia is moving through a corridor of friends and family is so reminiscent of Rob Scheider's ongoing death scene that almost immediately I recognized the similarity of outfits I was alerted to what she really was...not really a lifecoach at all.

I'm not saying this was a misuse of it, because All That Jazz really had a brilliant thing going on with Jessica Lange's character, and I really enjoyed this new interpretation, especially with a female (Julia) rather than a male (Rob Scheider) as the latest "victim." I'm still in the middle of Season 2 on DVD, but this was the first time I'd seen something "lifted" with such obvious results.

A quality show, and an off the hook soundtrack to match.
