I liked the first episode, Matt Ryan is good as John Constantine with just one episode so far. I haven't read the Hellblazer series, but I am reading the New 52 Constantine book and I like that comic book. Overall this series looks good and I'll be watching it...

Of the three DC Comics shows that debuted this season, Constantine was the one I expected the least out of. Gotham is pretty good, The Flash is terrible but Constantine was a pleasant surprise. As a long-time comic reader, I've followed Constantine since his days in Swamp Thing back in the 80s. He is a complex character and not necessarily a 'hero'. I think the show did a good job presenting him as the flawed, sometimes reckless man looking for redemption. I'm picky about adaptations, especially comic-related ones. Besides having the show set in the US and his supporting cast being American, it definitely has an authentic feel. So much so that I wonder if those unfamiliar with the back story were a little overwhelmed. They packed a lot into that episode with introducing characters and history. Hopefully the show can turn into something more than a demon-of-the-week story. I'll be watching.

I'm hoping that they'll use Dr.Fate in this series other than just seeing the Helmet...

His cousin was there with us on Halloween when we were all geeking out. I ask my buddy if he rewound that scene when you saw the helmet. He said about 3 times and I said me too.

I haven't watched this weeks episode yet, but I really liked the Mining episode and then seeing Papa Midnight appear in the Vinyl episode was really cool. I loved how the Vinyl record was freezing cold, plus I'm not sure if they ment this, but having the record have a Demon within is the classic music is of the devils making...

I just watched the Jim Corrigan episode and that was a cool one and seeing the Spectre appear was killer cool. I need to watch last weeks episode and so far I'm still liking this series...

I'm a few episodes behind but it's cool to hear the Spectre appeared. I knew Corrigan was going to be on but I didn't expect his other self to show so soon.
