The Continental Reviews: What Critics Are Saying About the John Wick TV Series
The Continental TV series debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a “rotten” 46% approval from critics’ reviews.
Writes Charlie Ridgely in a 2.5/5 review for ComicBook: “Over the course of three episodes, The Continental tells amostly complete story that won’t leave you with a lot of questions oropen ends. And it’s worth noting that the series ends with a solid bang,with the quality of the third episode easily surpassing the first two.At the end of the day, you’re left with a decent period-heist dramathat’s fun to watch, but you’ll probably forget about it before too muchtime passes. It’s good enough, but if it’s John Wick you’relooking for, Keanu Reeves and [films director] Chad Stahelski must have taken all themagic with them, because they sure didn’t leave it at the Continental.”
