Very good casting. A very entertaining and charming male protagonist. The story develops around him. An excellent watch. Go watch, it is very enjoyable

Another week, another comic book TV series. CONSTANTINE was a 13-episode series that was ignobly cancelled after just one series and it's based on the Hellblazer comic, just as the Keanu Reeves big screen adaptation of the same character was. This is distinctive and stylish enough to stand on its own right, although truth be told it's simply another monster-of-the-week show.I wasn't too taken with Matt Ryan's acting as the lead character. I found him arrogant, unfunny, and self-centred, and his British accent particularly annoying which is weird when I'm British myself. Still, the show has much in common with other successes like ARROW, so it's weird that it was cancelled. It's very fast paced and there's plentiful action in each of the episodes. It does feel very clichéd throughout without bringing anything really new to the screen but at the same time it keeps your attention so it's never dull.CONSTANTINE makes frequent use of a CGI effects budget to bring some impressive creations to the small screen. It's refreshingly gruesome in places and the various demons are well realised and well designed, coming across as genuinely scary on occasion. Some of the guest actors give performances that can best be described as hokey but overall the series makes for light and engaging viewing.

This show was amazing and sadly just like Hannibal was cancelled too soon. The show follows John Constantine (played by Matt Ryan) who is a paranormal investigator/exorcist who has to fight against "the rising darkness". The show sadly only lasted 13 episodes before being cancelled, but they were amazing. Matt Ryan is amazing as Constantine and one of the best casting choices I've ever seen in not only a show, but in comic book based media. The show has many other good performances from Harold Perrineau, Angelica Celaya, and Charles Halford. The episodes are great and we get to see John deal with all kinds of crazy demons and spirits. The theme song to the show is one of my favorite theme songs of all time. It is such a great show and I wish it wasn't cancelled, but John would later appear in an episode of Arrow so if you enjoy the show watch that episode. Overall I give it 8/10 for great acting and amazing episodes. There was really only one episode I didn't really like, but other than that it was amazing.I hope this review was helpful and if you decide to check it out I hope you enjoy it. (warning don't attempt exorcisms at home unless you are a trained professional.)

I really enjoyed the occult detective series, it had something new to offer every episode. The show is a thriller drama with a touch of horror and lots of intrigue. The casting of Matt Ryan as the lead was great, he suited the role perfectly and did a great portrayal of John Constantine. Rest of the supporting cast were also good especially Harold Perrineau & Angélica Celaya. The plotting and storytelling is solid, the pacing smooth, normally all series end up having filler or irrelevant episodes this one didn't have any of those, every episode was fresh with the interesting plots, we keep discovering new things with a lot of world building still to happen. The special effects were good for a television series. I was really disappointed that the series was cancelled as the suspense was only getting better. Hope they renew the series.
