The latest comic book adaptation to hit TV, NBC’s Constantine is a nifty spookfest with dark humor and some genuine chills. Read full review

Falling somewhere in the middle of the dark/light scale between Gotham and Flash, tonight's promising premiere boasts a few good jolts, a welcome bit of visual flair, and an appealing star turn from Welsh actor Matt Ryan, who conveys just the right mix of tortured soul, biting wit and hunky hero.

Not only does it promise scares, but it looks good, moves quickly, and uses effects well and wisely. In a market that's rapidly growing, Constantine does a commendable job distinguishing itself. Read full review

The wildly uneven Constantine premiere is a decidedly mixed bag of magic tricks. It's moody and mysterious. It's also muddled and meandering. Read full review

There's a fun dynamic between John and Chas that is yet to be explored, while we haven't even met the third member of our trio yet. Read full review

The new show is a perfectly adequate, even above-average example of the genre, but at this late date, it’s hard to stand out from the crowd. Read full review

Matt Ryan plays title character John Constantine, and he gets an incomplete on his acting grade because he has so little legitimate material with which to work. Read full review

This is a great show. They take a little creative license but some of the episodes come straight out of the comic (with a little adjustment for tv/time) Can't wait to see how this plays out.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesome, mature, and dark depiction of the iconic D.C. superhero this show combines elements of horror with fun humor. Though maybe sometimes satanic and frightening at some points this show usually shows the heroes emerging victorious. Like the Flash, this show brings to life iconic Constantine characters like Zed and Chas, and foreshadows other heroes and villains who will and might make a live-action appearance. For example, Dr. Fate's helmet is briefly shown in the pilot episode and in the behind-the-scenes, Jim Corrigan makes a live-action appearance, but his alter-ego (the Spectre) is soon to make his appearance, the Swamp Thing aka Alec Holland is briefly mentioned during a phone message, and the Medusa Mask which Psycho-Pirate wears makes a brief appearance in the seventh episode serving as a book stand. For all those fans who are seeking some horror combined with superheroes, this is the right show!… Expand

Although the first couple of episodes may have been a bit uneven, the show now continues to improve. (Horrible time slot though!) As a Hellblazer fan, I would like to thank NBC for finally ridding me of the awful taste left from that Keanu Reeves piece of garbage!

There's a bunch of supernatural shows out there these days and this one is my novella. I was a fan of the comics and the character definitely lends itself to a weekly type show, similar to the Hitchhiker, Tales from the Darkside, etc. I'm fine with the periodic hamminess of the show becauseThere's a bunch of supernatural shows out there these days and this one is my novella. I was a fan of the comics and the character definitely lends itself to a weekly type show, similar to the Hitchhiker, Tales from the Darkside, etc. I'm fine with the periodic hamminess of the show because otherwise that whole genre of supernatural shows would be outright horror and not-for-regular-tv. The world of Constantine is not as dark as Walking Dead. The quirkiness and humor of the show makes it fine for regular tv and it's no more silly than any of the other supernatural shows.

Being a fan of the comic I feel they portray his world well and he's scuzzy yet likable and they should be proud of the work they're doing on Constantine. Much better than the movie. I'm sure Allen Moore has his opinions but it's a fun, light show.

Keep making these!… Expand

Wooden acting, horrendous lead. Completely trash and ripping off many elements of other tv shows. Absolute rubbish. Do not watch this. I would rather be sent to jail for life than watch Constantine.
