3 TV Spots for NBC's CONSTANTINE
NBC has released three new TV spots for their upcoming show Constantine, which is based on the DC Comics series Hellblazer. This show looks like it's going to be awesome. It has a very dark and gritty feel to it. I just hope that it is able to set itself apart from The CW's Supernatural because I can see the similarities. This series has a few things going for it to distance itself from Supernatural, though. First of all, the story of Constantine existed before Supernatural, and the John Constantine character is a lot better and cooler than anyone in the CW series. I'm sure fans of Supernatural might disagree with me on that, but I'm a big fan of John Constantine, so you won't change my mind about that. It seems like the talent that created the show did a great job of bringing Constantine to life. Here's a description of the story:
Seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan) specializes in giving hell… hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight – or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he's decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths), the daughter of one of Constantine's oldest friends, he's reluctantly thrust back into the fray – and he'll do whatever it takes to save her.
Before long, it’s revealed that Liv's "second sight"–an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences–is a threat to a mysterious new evil that’s rising in the shadows. Now it's not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows… maybe there's hope for him and his soul after all.
Constantine is set to premiere on Friday, October 24th, and will air Fridays at 10 PM on NBC.
