You can tell everyone behind Constantine was hoping for more than a 13 episode order, as “Waiting for the Man” feels too crowded and clunky, slightly rushed, and lacks the real punch of a season finale. Here’s hoping the idea to rebrand the show as Hellblazer and put it on Syfy comes true, because if this ends up being the series finale, it just doesn’t do what has become a rather enjoyable show justice.

Funny, well-paced, and smart, “Angels and Ministers of Grace,” has a lot of great things going for it and is arguably the best episode of Constantine yet, but it just doesn’t feel like a proper penultimate episode. Continue reading “Constantine Review: “Angels and Ministers of Grace””

As has been the trend, episodes where John Constantine is paired with an old friend involved with the Newcastle incident have markedly been among the best this show has to offer. “A Whole World Out There” thankfully doesn’t buck that trend thanks to its somewhat unique take on slasher horror and the return of Ritchie Simpson (Jeremy Davies).

There’s definitely some “Quid Pro Quo” between the show and its audience in this episode, finally revealing the secret behind Chas’ seemingly immortality, filling in his background, and squaring John off against a powerful mage. It’s not all great, but it’s certainly a fun ride.

After the out of order aired episode last week, Constantine kicked back into high gear with“Blessed are the Damned,” which changed things up a bit by bringing in a unique tale that wasn’t the usual person possessed of the week. Continue reading “Constantine Review: “Blessed are the Damned””

“The Rage of Caliban” had an engaging, yet chilling premise, but it had the feeling of being out of place (airing out of order) with some lacking character interactions. Continue reading “Constantine Review: “The Rage of Caliban””

Constantine stays in stride this week in “Danse Vadou,” following last week’s confidence by providing an entertaining ghost tale, adding a new and eventually important character, and giving the rest of the cast more to do. Continue reading “Constantine Review: “Danse Vadou””

While I’ve been watching since its premiere, I’ve not gotten around to writing any reviews for Constantine, instead focusing on a few other shows. One of them hasn’t been as good as Constantine (cough Gotham cough) so I’ve decided to prioritize reviews for this one instead. Below contains my full review of “A Feast of Friends,” an episode which secures Constantine‘s status as a great new show, plus mini-reviews (Kessel Run reviews, as I like to call them) of the first three episodes.
