I’m Officially Back In On The John Wick Spin-off Series ‘The Continental’
I’ll preface this blog with two things.
1. I was really excited when this was announced because of the people involved and the opportunity to spread out a story in this universe across a new format.
2. The more that came out about it, the more worried I became.
John wick just has such a perfect record that it felt more and more like a risk to possibly blemish it. But after seeing this scene, I have flip flopped all the way back to the excited side. That action was executed so close to the exact style of the movies that it’s hard not to get the juices flowing for more goon shooting, clip throwing and hand-to-hand action.
The big two worries that are still in the back of my mind are the romance angle, which is so out of place for this universe, and the TV quality CGI. Hopefully, neither detracts from what could be one of the better miniseries of the year.
