The Continental: From the World of John Wick: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Christopher J I really enjoyed is show and the idea of showing the John wick world. There seems like you could make so many great stories featuring all sorts of different assassin's etc etc. I hope this show gets more seasons but it hasn't been renewed in an age where studios don't seem to continue any shows and you have to be an immediately fan blockbuster. Peacock is by far a smaller market but this show and world cod give us such great stories. Please give it a watch and pump the ratings. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review John B Epic action and a great plot that I think exceeds that of John Wick. Supremely written with great acting and mind bending action and fight scenes. There is subtlety and backstory here which we never saw in the one-man rampage of the movies as the lore gets deeper. Young Winston is deeply engaging as are his island of misfit gangsters especially Jenkins who is the most genteel of hitmen you'll ever meet and Lemmy is great comic relief. Oh and the soundtrack is amazing that fits right into 1971 Big Apple. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Sea H I couldn't get thru the first episode it was so boring so.. if you are looking for all the "John Wick" high paced action with the cleverness of the same.. look elsewhere. I may try to watch it again but Peacock is worse in 2024 than the month or so I streamed it in 2023 so it's doubtful.Great cast but... Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Rob Van D It sucks so much.Imagine John Wick with worst characters, worst fighting scenes, worst story and way less money.Never been more disappointed in a show in my life. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Daniel B Cinematográficamente brillante, “El Continental” podrá pecar de tener una narrativa burda y por muchos momentos reiterativa, pero en cuanto cuestiones técnicas esta serie es de lo mejor que he visto, un diseño de producción impecable, una construcción escénica bestial, con escenas de acción que se sienten a la par de sus hermanas mayores. Una serie que simplifica el estilo sobre sustancia. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Grimm R The Continental is a great, 3-part series set in the John Wick world that stars Colin Woodell as Winston Scott and also stars Mel Gibson and Mishel Prada. I think where this series really thrives is in the world-building and story-development as this series adds some context into the character and backstory of Winston while also explaining how The Continental came into the ownership of Winston while also not adding anything major to the franchise. The action in this series is entertaining but lacks a thrill factor to keep me on the edge of my seat. I also feel like you can tell this series had a smaller production size than the movies and that this show did work with what was given to them. While watching this series I also felt like this series was more aimed towards fans of the John Wick series rather than a general audience to get invested into this series and then the broader franchise like the movies which I feel is a misstep. The story feels dense with the amount of world-building and I feel like the movies just pack a punch of adrenaline that this series lacks. I thought Mel Gibson as Cormac was a great antagonist and really delivered a great performance. Colin Woodell is also an actor that I've found myself enjoying seeing as he was in Unfriended: Dark Web and The Purge tv series as well. I do feel like he is an underrated actor that I've enjoyed seeing get these roles. Overall, The Continental is more so for the John Wick lovers than a general audience but that doesn't change how well developed the story is and how entertaining the action in this series is.
