Here there is neither a clever main plot, nor any subplot. In itself, the series revolves almost exclusively around the great John Constantine, who must save his soul with the Beseitugung of demons. All against the backdrop of a big bad whole, which is somehow always more about the world He is as good as any result in in a dangerous situation from which he freed himself with a spell. Traps, tricks ect., The No there not here. The demon is in each episode only typed and then eliminated: He raises his hand and says some Latin phrase (or in another language, depending on how he has previously typed the demon) and the demons disappear into the underworld (ridiculous !). Moreover gape the whole series through logic holes, where one wonders why no one falls for (eg: What actually feeds on the Demon Hunter Trio None of them (down to the Chas and driving a bit taxi) seems a paid job to pursue, at least is this not a word mentioned).
Matt Ryan (who is much closer to the original of the entire broadcasting her than about Keanu Reeves) makes driven by pain and guilt exorcists actually pretty good and clever. However, better screenwriters him have laid a few more cool quotes in his mouth. He acts namely due to the thin book more permanent bad mood when cool. That it, the authors try to make from a sequence suddenly to womanizing by stepping out of bed a bound woman at the beginning of the episode, is neither credible nor in any form of sympathy stiftend.
The minor characters are a joke. Zed seems just as perfectly working medium (it looks virtually on command) to act, and to be part of a half-baked obligatory love story. Pretty Ganovin conquered heart of grisgrämigen loner (total original). Without a pretty woman in the lead role does not actually set more in the long run. So (the daughter of a former collaborator) was even after Liv after the first episode at the test supervisors flunked, introduced Zed with the mysterious past pretty awkward right in the second row. The not so uninteresting Chas remains largely gehnd shapeless and his role on the small side. What role Manny now belongs to the plot, about the public remains in the dark. Most of the time he annoys like a little boy Constantine, instead of advancing the plot in any way. As would have been advisable to fewer but more original performances.
But in this series is lacking broadly originality. These flat ghost stories you got elsewhere told a hundred times better. Since the film starring Keanu Reeves (he swapped to Nahtodzustand to betray the unfaithful helper to the devil. How departed the idea is it?) Significantly more original and much amtmosphärischer, even if it was not a masterpiece. The makers of this series, however, simply relax on the comic book and deliver the product as complete Production Line from. Since a little more gloomy atmosphere would have been not bad (although exaggerated at this aspect in some series). First in the last 4 episodes is a bit darker and more's the stories a little more exciting, even if it still lacks conclusive plots and the "twist", the cliffhanger at the end of the season is just not credible. Current other filmed Comics are preferable, although I really do not want to compare this scandal with great series such as "Gotham". Apparently see American audiences like me. It is not yet decided whether or not the series continues or is done for lack of quotas to a quick end.
