Constantine

The writers and designers have done an outstanding job with filling the script, the set, and the costumes with all kinds of details true the comic books and the DC world. (The arcane laboratory is fantastic!) There is also a rich dark feel to the whole show that is pure Vertigo. The whole vibe is creepy and wonderful, and fills that blurry good-vs-evil void that Buffy and Angel left behind, without getting maudlin and soap-operatic. The chemistry between John and Zed is snarky and fun, and the supporting cast is so good. Papa Midnite is PERFECT, and Chas is brilliant. One thing that really works is the special effects. They don't get hokey or feel CGI'ed to ridiculousness- A contorting demon, instead of being twisted by camera tricks, is played by an acrobat that leaves you breathless the 15 seconds she is on scene. I so hope NBC doesn't let this one go; it would be as bad a move as Fox dropping Firefly.

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.

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.

I love this genre, even though it is easy to go the way of Supernatural" and rely way to heavy on real world religious themes. Constantine has so far maintained this delicate balance and stays squarely within the lines of a core storyline. However, I am afraid this is going to suffer the fate of many of my favorite shows. They are going to do one of two things-- U.S. network programming that isn't specifically called a "Mini-series" either runs- on till it runs out of plot line or gets canceled with no conclusion worth the name. If one of the above happens here...I recommend cutting cable and going an online route.

At least that way you watch on your time table and without having to pay extra.

The first season is amazing, Loved it, the characters are amazing, the storyline is good too, disappointed that show got cancelled left the viewers with suspense, i think show would gotten a great audience after the season 2, Matt Ryan did an amazing job playing John Constantine. Fingers crossed hope to see more of Constantine in Arrow-verse and CW should definitely renew this show.
