Constantine

Why is this so good? Probably for the simple reason that Jamie Delano, Garth Ennis & Alan Moore are on board. These 2 made the comic I loved soar when I subscribed to it all those years ago. That's right, this is no Keanu Reeves version of our favorite Hellblazer. This is the real deal. His compatriots are back. His story arc and background story intact. I just finished episode 1 and like Gothem having Frank Miller & Bob Kane (probably the best writers of Batman comics and going way back ) on the writing staff, this show Constantine will be appreciated by fans for what hopefully will be a sustained effort at excellence in writing and faithfulness to character. The Hellblazer of Alan Moore and Garth Ennis is a deeply flawed and nuanced John Constantine and with Chaz and Zed at his side this wrecking crew are sure to make a dent in hell's plots.

Other Comic luminaries that worked on the monumental character are Dave McKean, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman and Stephen Bissette. Let's hope this television series will do a fitting tribute to the excellence of writing and artistic talent due to its pedigree.

I've been waiting almost ten years for some sort of sequel or reboot of the first Constantine movie back in 2005. I'm not a big comic book fan and I never knew the character prior to the film, but for what is worth I enjoyed it back in the day and I was hoping for more for a long time.

The series starts off on the right note and with a proper rhythm. The protagonist (Matt Ryan) looks ready to undertake a main role. The script isn't the strongest point so far, but it almost never is after just the pilot. I'm sure that in time, it will become much more detailed and interesting.

For me personally, it is a very good alternative to the Supernatural series, that keeps taking a dive for the worse with every season passing. I love Supernatural, but that show should have ended 5 seasons ago.

Overall, the pilot was cohesive, concentrated and left me curious for more. The scares were also very good with awesome make-up and CGI. If this level of quality can be sustained, I'm sure that we will be on a great ride with John Constantine.

Constantine behaved like your typical American which is irresponsible and obnoxious so why would they cancel such a jerkish character. That's what the people love.

Constantine was a very enthused interesting show that touched based on dark magic and mysticism. Generally it was a funtastic, underrated show.

Verdict: Sad to see Constantine go so early, yet Batwoman is still on air and no one wants that show.

Cannot believe why they cut this show. After first seasob, there were rumors of more seasons coming, then it just disappeared.... I like how Matt performed, stories were will well designed, watched it a lot times, still hoping one day they gonna bring it back.

Constantine is the best thing currently on television, in my opinion. It's a show about a human doing bogus metaphysics and not a metahuman doing bogus physics, which makes it different from Flash. It's true to the source material (making it different from both Arrow and Gotham) without being a slave to it (making it worth watching instead of just reading).

Matt Ryan and Angelica Celaya's on-screen chemistry is exquisite, sexual tension real but not overpowering. Special effects whose corniness is justified by the circumstances, and to my mind the most important bit: real, human stories.

Amidst the occult, the psychic, the voodoo and the demonic, the show is about redemption, worldview, escaping, and struggling with "inner demons." Constantine is entertaining, but more than giving you something to care about, it gives you something to relate to. And as far as I'm concerned, there's room for humans to do business in a TV world bigger than sit-coms.
