Review of Blood Sport

Code Black went from strength to strength during the first half of the season but I think it peaked too soon.

The most intense, gripping season finales usually involve a main character being in trouble and for that reason, the story arc surrounding Malaya probably would have worked best as an end-of-season finale. As it is, the finale focused on a set of political characters that you only meet at the start of the episode and whose fate you are expected to care about. Whilst the storyline of having various spouses die and bring some friends together was touching it wasn't exactly season finale material.

I love Angus/Mike's relationship but as for Angus's drug abuse it is just such an obvious storyline. Code Black moves pretty fast when it comes to personal story lines so hopefully by the start of next season he would have put the drug abuse behind him.

As to Neal/Christa, they are very sweet together but it was waaaaay too soon to throw a spanner in their relationship and create a love triangle. We never got to enjoy them simply being a couple and working together.

So overall a disappointing finale but I'm looking forward to season two.
