LOL @ LadyArya. Show isn't that bad. Can't say it's my favorite. I'll stick around for a few more episodes.

Awesome show, hope it gets a second season and change the day.

I love the show. Matt Ryan's potrayal of John Constantine is spot-on. I hope it doesn't get cancelled. If it does get cancelled, I at least hope Guillermo del Toro uses Ryan for the Justice League Dark movie.

The show isn't cancel worthy or awesome as others indicate..it's just ok.
That's not good enough,it needs to improve but no question Ryan is a nice fit as JC.

@clarkman,



I just can't the fact she was so damn pretty in season 1 of Justified even more than Natalie Zea, but lately she aged a lot sadly, meanwhile Natalie:

@desrow Amazing how on an article about Constantine and Papa Midnite, you somehow find a way to post T&A. Overcompensating or just a dry spell?

I really like Constantine. It just has to do like all the other CBTV and get through the whole "villian of the week" phase and then we can get down to some actual main story line or even some of the New 52 Constantine. I think this show is far from cancel worthy and honestly it's not perfect but I will take it. Better to have the show then not.

S/n Has anyone else noticed that no one actually smokes facing the camera???

It stuck out last night that Papa Midnight had a Black & Mild he was twiddling through his fingers and in previous episodes, John can be seen from behind puffing on a cigarette.

@LadyArya,



What can I say?... I love some Natalie Zea.

@desrow You never answered my question as to whether you were overcompensating for latent homo-erotic desires or a dry spell. Combination of both perhaps? Lol

At first, Constantine was the last on the list of my fave DCTV shows. I liked it, but not as much as the others.

My ranking was:

Arrow
Flash
Gotham
Constantine

But with last night's episode, I really can't decide which one I like most!!

That said, I'm really hoping this show doesn't get cancelled. It either needs to gain more viewers, or needs to have a new show date, and/or time.

I hope this doesn't get cancelled, I enjoy it very much.

It's ratings went from 0.9 last week to a 1.0 this week. Let's hope it keeps rising week by week ad NBC stays patient.

Well, I gave this show a few episodes & I'll be shocked if it gets a second season. Matt Ryan is solid, but buried on a Friday night with a fringe following even among the CBM community its a goner

Wow. Looks like I really am the only one who thinks this is far and away the best DC show. Not to say I don't enjoy the other shows (in fact, I love them), but this just seems to be glaringly higher caliber compared to the other three. It has better chemistry between actors, better storytelling, better characterization, better pacing, and better sense of direction, and it's almost on par with Gotham in the cinematography department.

NBC, move this shit to a better time slot.

Gotham is garbage. Pure garbage.

Constantine is actually getting great ratings and their rising.

Still though...

ARROW
FLASH
AGENTS
CONSTATINE























Gotham

I like Constantine, but the dynamic between John and Zed is very Doctor Who.


1) Walking Dead
2) Gotham
3) Arrow
4) Flash
5) Constantine
6) AOS
