It’s pretty simple, really: If you like Jane Lynch, you’ll like Angel From Hell. In the new sitcom premiering tonight on CBS, Lynch plays Amy, who declares herself the guardian angel of Allison (Maggie Lawson), a dermatologist engaged to be married. Wisecracking and loose-limbed — it may have something to do with swilling crème de menthe in the daytime hours — Amy wants the tightly-wound Allison to relax and enjoy life more… and maybe find a guy who doesn’t have a roving eye, as her fiancé seems to.
The series is a showcase for Lynch, who seems to be having a ball playing a so-called “crazy lady” with seemingly-supernatural powers. Either that, or her Amy is a very adroit psycho stalker, a notion that is played for laughs early on in the two episodes I’ve watched.
The supporting cast is strong. In addition to Lawson, who’s charming in a role that requires her to be baffled or irritated much of the time, Kyle Bornheimer, who has been TV-omnipresent in short-lived shows like Family Tools, Perfect Couples, Romantically Challenged, and Worst Week, is Allison’s affable brother, and comedian-actor Kevin Pollak is nicely abrasive as her father.
