Summary
- Peacock's The Continental struggles to replicate the appeal of the John Wick movies, despite offering a deeper look at the assassin's world.
- The three-episode season explores the dirty, gritty world of '70s New York City and introduces new characters, but the sheer number of plots and characters feels unnecessary and bloated.
- While The Continental is Winston's story, the series frequently sidelines his arc and lacks the style and grace that make the John Wick films stand out, making it feel like a missed opportunity.
