Constantine adds so much fun to this show imo and he's a perfect blend of silly and serious that the show lives in at the best of times, that's the problem with a bunch of the characters is they generally exist in the silliness but it's the balance that makes the show work when it does work.
Darville I'm guessing failed to be what Ryan can be because of how the people behind the scenes wanted his character to come across, Constantine works because his cockiness and humour comes from his actual ability, he knows he's the dogs bollocks but that he can also make a dogs dinner out of things, where as Rip was just a pompous tosser who we learn repeatedly is a fuck up so why he's so pompous makes no sense at times, amd the fact he's such a fuck up begs the question how did he make it this far? Darville has the talent to be great he's just generally given shit material imo.
Benefit Ryan has as Constantine is he's made his version enjoyable to watch just in the performance so even if they give him shitty material his portrayal of the character makes it work, similar with Dominic Purcell as Mick, he doesn't get a lot to do at times but how he delivers what he has is great imo, so long as we don't lose Mick to make way for Constantine LOT S4 looks to be a lot more fun to watch than S1-3 imo atleast.
