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 a mostly complete story that won't leave you with a lot of questions or open 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 drama that's fun to watch, but you'll probably forget about it before too much time passes. It's good enough, but if it's John Wick you're looking for, Keanu Reeves and [films director] Chad Stahelski must have taken all the magic with them, because they sure didn't leave it at the Continental."
