Not gonna lie, I could see myself watching this show, it's really well done and it has me entertained, very Supernatural like. Too bad it's on NBC on a Friday night, literally the two worst things possible for any TV show, together, in one spot, and will most likely get cancelled.

If Constantine gets cancelled, I'm done with Friday shows.

Almost Human didn't get a fair shake and now Constantine.

And yeah BA, I enjoyed it too. I haven't caught up on 2 and 3 yet but if it holds up in quality, it'll jump ahead of Gotham on the dvr for me.

The pilot was okay. The last two episodes have been really good.

I am digging it. I hate to hear that isn't being picked up.

Wasn't Almost Human a Monday night show?

I know better than to get into an NBC show... one of the reasons I'm not watching it live. This is textbook "will not be picked up beyond the initial run" ... even though if they would put it on a Tuesday / Thursday and give it "time" .. this show could have the longevity like Supernatural, but NBC wont give it that chance.

Yeah, I don't get the Almost Human reference... honestly Fox is just on a downward decline, ever since Fox News took over the conservative defacto news pumper, the network channel has been slowly losing the younger demo like they use to have.

That's just plain stupid. If people are avoiding the Fox network because of the slant Fox News presents then these imbeciles are imbeciles.

I hate the slant MSNBC presents on the news but that would not factor in to my watching an entertainment show on the NBC network.

I really wasn't a fan of the pilot. I forgot to keep up so I can't give an honest opinion of the show yet.

Most pilots suck. Takes a few episodes for the writers and actors to get into the flow.

Having said that, making a real Hellblazer on network tv has zero chance of working. The comic wasn't made for prime time, at least not on a network.

I'll catch up on the show later tonight.

I've watched every episode thus far. It's terrible.

I found the actor to be waaaayyyy to peppy. Constantine was a bit of a subdued jerk, not some manic buffoon.

They need to bring in The Spectre and Dr. Fate ASAP.

I know the character is a bit of an unlikeable smartass.

But his portrayal in the show... I just don't like him. Combination of actor and character doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. Perhaps I just liked Keanu's version better but this guy just comes off as Gordon Ramsay playing John Constantine.
