The Continental: From the World of John Wick

“The Continental” is a worthy prequel with suitably gothic production design, brilliantly executed stunt work and some fantastically timed needle drops.

It’s all style at best, and no substance—even for a series that prioritizes bravura and flair over everything else. Ultimately, “The Continental” is an adequate detour; just a linear connection-of-franchise dots explaining how Winston stole the keys to the house.

Though it seems more a test of concept than a complete saga, it’s a tentatively successful one — though with one major misstep that’ll be enough to ruin the whole experiment for many.

It’s serviceable. Even with Mel Gibson involved, it’s not bad enough to hurt the John Wick franchise, but it’s also not exciting enough to justify becoming a key part of the canon.

Despite being only three episodes long, The Continental is a slog that’s bogged down by poor characterization, brutal pacing, and extended droughts from its shootouts.

The Continental feels afraid to go all-out, limiting itself to a few thrilling action sequences whose creativity makes the sparse character motivations and drawn-out plot that much more belabored.

The Continental is the equivalent of a budget hotel: cheap, charmless, and generic.

Very good, enthralling, atmospheric and well acted. Really liked this. Full of cliches but very entertaining popcorn stuff@!

It's got some style, some interesting storylines, reasonable acting, some John Wick violence, and some weirdness. However, this is only after the 1st episode, so we'll see after the others. We'd rate this: "If you like John Wick, check it out."

Very weak comparing to John Wick's movies, The Gun-Fu is weak, the fighting is weak, The Actors are weak, I really didn't liked that **** John Wick movies are mostly 10/10, but this TV Show, Mini-Series is very weak, without Keanu Reeves, or any big actor know for good fights, this is a waste of time, Only 3 episodes, this is simply not worth it.

There really is just nothing to recommend watching this show. This recent trend of attempting to add humour to every show made, again just misses the mark by some distance. There is also a point where action scenes become laughable and ludicrous, the entry point I think is somewhere after when the good guy kills a few assassins and carries on but well short of killing dozens who are above, below and to side and rear of him.

Started strong and then its bait and switch into dire woke drivel for the remainder. Starting episode 2 all the men turn into snivelling crying morons while the women become barbie faced terminators. You can almost hear the plot creaking as its bent out of shape trying to accomodate *the message*.
