THE CONTINENTAL: FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK (2023): SERIES REVIEW
The Continental: From the World of John Wick" is a cool dive back into the world we love, serving as a prequel to the action-packed John Wick series. It's a fresh take on the story of Winston Scott, the brains behind the Continental hotel, showing us just how this iconic place came to be.
Set in the vibrant and rough edges of 1981 New York, the series brings its own flavor of action and intrigue. Sure, it doesn't have Keanu Reeves and the jaw-dropping stunts of the original, but it holds its own with some stylish fights and a peek into the darker corners of the John Wick universe. The show has a fun mix of characters, each adding a twist to the tale. The action scenes have that hint of John Wick flair – not quite the original, but still pretty cool. It's like a nostalgic trip with a soundtrack that throws you back to the '70s, adding an extra layer of fun.
For fans of the franchise, "The Continental" is a neat little getaway into the world we can't get enough of. It's a lighter, entertaining ride through the backstreets of the John Wick saga. Not the intense thrill of the original, but definitely a fun watch for those looking to spend more time in this action-filled universe.
