In a far juster world, we would be at the edge of our seats tonight after the shocking conclusion to the season finale of Season 1 of ‘Constantine’ anxiously counting down to the fall when Season 2 resumes. Alas, we don’t live in a world where ratings sadly are more important than a passionate fan […]
The ‘Constantine’ show runners have continued to surprise DC fans with all kinds of Easter Eggs goodness from Jim Corrigan, Felix Faust and Dr. Fate’s helmet.

With little more than a TV budget, ‘Constantine’s’ sixth episode […]
‘Constantine’ hasn’t had a lot of growing pains as it’s largely avoided the pitfalls that cause most comic book-based shows to struggle early on so while it never needed to turn the corner or find its voice, the series already appears to have worked out the kinks and reward its audience.
