Compare And Contrast Coley And Cole
What did you like about this script?
Though prompted to be complete opposites of each other, Rooney and Cole end up having more in common with each other than at first glance. Cole character is more laid back, low-key and presents a more personable persona than his older cousin. However, the two share the same cunning drive and commanding demeanor.
Moreover, with Rooney’s character, the writer seems to project Cole’s future with his wife, child, and business. Rooney’s business partner, Steve, could be one of Cole’s close friends in at work down the line and if Cole decides to pursue the flirtation developed with Danielle than he could find himself blackmailed and in the middle of a custody battle and divorce.

Likewise, Leo is aware that Rooney and his connections would be after him immediately but knew enough to have a way out of town via people he alone could trust.

Most of the characters do not seem to emit any kind of general emotions in this pilot that makes them connectable to the reader/audience. Not all characters have to be likable, but the writer seems to emulate that all the characters are only self-involved and at key moments in the script, detached from the ongoing narrative. Two prime examples of this were the scenes between Cole and Danielle around page 42 and between Mateo and Steve’s characters on page 50.
Almost immediately, Danielle and Cole have a flirtatious chemistry between them, which seemed natural under the circumstances leading up to the drive by. However, their interaction post-shooting seems as though Danielle’s character, a schoolteacher, was completely unfazed by the event. For all intensive purposes, it does not read like a natural reaction for the persona the writer has written for
