Mixed Reviews for 'The Continental' Prequel Series Expanding the 'John Wick' Universe
- The Continental is a prequel series set in 1970s New York City exploring the origins of the hotel for assassins featured in the John Wick movies.
- The show focuses on younger versions of characters like Winston Scott and Charon but lacks the star power of Keanu Reeves as John Wick.
- Reviews have been mixed, with some praise for the action sequences but criticism for uninteresting plotlines and characters.
- Casting Mel Gibson as a lead character has been controversial due to his past behavior.
- While expanding the John Wick universe, The Continental fails to fully capture the essence of the beloved action franchise.
