Constantine is a television series produced by NBC that aired from 2014-2015. The show is based on the DC Comics' character John Constantine, a demon hunter and occult detective. The lead actor in the show is Matt Ryan, who plays John Constantine, alongside Angelica Celaya, Harold Perrineau, and Charles Halford. The show is set in modern-day America but has a supernatural and horror-based storyline. The series follows Constantine who is a British exorcist with the ability to see demons and ghosts. He is on a mission to save the world from the Devil and his demon minions. He is aided by Zed played by Angelica Celaya, a psychic artist who is also able to see into the supernatural realm but focuses on visions of the future. The two start off on a bumpy road with Zed trying to figure Constantine out and Constantine being reluctant to have someone else join his quest. However, they soon discover that they make a great team. One of the standout characters in the series is Chas played by Charles Halford, Constantine's oldest friend who has a supernatural ability of his own. He is able to come back to life after death which certainly comes in handy when fighting demons. The love-hate relationship between Constantine and Chas is one of the highlights of the show. They have a bond that goes way back, but their bickering also displays their genuine affection for each other. Harold Perrineau joins the cast playing an angel named Manny who has a complicated relationship with Constantine. Manny is tasked with keeping an eye on him after Constantine failed to protect a girl from demon possession. Constantine has a deep dislike for Manny, which is only intensified when Manny does not give him any information on his own past. Manny's presence in the show is one of the most critical components of the mystical aspect. The show features a unique blend of supernatural horror and the occult mixed in with a healthy dose of mystery and action. The writing is sharp, and the show seamlessly weaves together standalone episodes with a larger story arc that builds up over the season. The interactions between characters are intriguing and peppered with humor, which adds to the watchability of the show. One of the unique elements of the series is its approach to horror. The show has a way of making the audience feel uneasy without relying on the usual jump scares and gore that dominate the horror genre. The horror elements in the show come from the power of suggestion and the mood created by the setting and cinematography. The show takes the viewer on a mysterious journey through supernatural occurrences and human interactions with the stuff of nightmares. The show is not without its flaws, however. While the writing and dialogue between characters is engaging, some of the special effects used in the show can fall flat at times. The graphics used to depict demon possession can sometimes verge on being corny, which can sometimes detract from the otherwise immersive storyline. Additionally, while the series does its best to stay true to the comics, there are some noticeable deviations from the canon. In conclusion, Constantine is a unique and intriguing television show for anyone interested in supernatural and horror elements woven into an engaging storyline. The characters are well-crafted, and the humor adds an extra depth to the program. While the special effects may not always be up to par, the show's strength lies in its writing, which is sharp and witty. NBC's decision to end the series after one season left many fans disappointed, but the show is still highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique take on the horror and supernatural genres.
