Has anyone seen the show yet (or read the comics)? From what I've read on the character I really like him and the theme. Plus, it is based on one of the great Alan Moore comics (the creator of Watchmen and V for Vendetta)... HellBlazer. The movie was apparently terrible and they miscast Constantine. I mean, how is a blue collar British wizard who was made to look like Sting played by... Keanu Reeves....

Anyway, I really like the concept.

Alan Moore
 
I have an idea that most of the mystics in comics are generally older people, very austere, very proper, very middle class in a lot of ways. They are not at all functional on the street. It struck me that it might be interesting for once to do an almost blue-collar warlock. Somebody who was streetwise, working class, and from a different background than the standard run of comic book mystics. Constantine started to grow out of that.

Which was pretty groundbreaking and pretty much laid the ground for the whole Supernatural type of genre.

Or I might try to read the comics.. which I did with Watchmen.

Have not seen it.

And what do you mean miscast? If Keanu Reeves can be cast as Buddha he can do pretty much any role.
Normally I would be "oh no, the economy", but if it puts tweedle dum out of business, I'm happy -Bran Triune

I haven't seen it, but I've seen the twitter jokes by Misha Collins/ Castiel and William Shatner that his look is based on Castiel, even though the producers of Supernatural sort of based Castiels waredrobe after Constantie lol

Tbh, Keanu Reeves is one of the worst big actors in HollyWood. No emotion or depth...
