“The Continental” is a worthy prequel with suitably gothic production design, brilliantly executed stunt work and some fantastically timed needle drops.
It’s all style at best, and no substance—even for a series that prioritizes bravura and flair over everything else. Ultimately, “The Continental” is an adequate detour; just a linear connection-of-franchise dots explaining how Winston stole the keys to the house.

A Fantasy Crime with huge potential to be written in history of this **** obviously with lack of good production, design and story line and also average to poor acting and characters!Hopefully cast and crews get some feedbacks and evolve their works in next episodes…

Very good, enthralling, atmospheric and well acted. Really liked this. Full of cliches but very entertaining popcorn stuff@!

You know whether you like this sort of thing — and I am guessing that if you do — you will like this particular interaction just fine.
John Wick completists interested in a look at how Winston and Charon met and why Winston may have made some of the choices he did in the films have enough to keep them engaged, but there’s no doubt a better way to realize this world on the small screen than the scattershot, half-hearted execution of The Continental.
Despite being only three episodes long, The Continental is a slog that’s bogged down by poor characterization, brutal pacing, and extended droughts from its shootouts.
The Continental feels afraid to go all-out, limiting itself to a few thrilling action sequences whose creativity makes the sparse character motivations and drawn-out plot that much more belabored.
The Continental is the equivalent of a budget hotel: cheap, charmless, and generic.
It's got some style, some interesting storylines, reasonable acting, some John Wick violence, and some weirdness. However, this is only after the 1st episode, so we'll see after the others. We'd rate this: "If you like John Wick, check it out."

Very weak comparing to John Wick's movies, The Gun-Fu is weak, the fighting is weak, The Actors are weak, I really didn't liked that **** John Wick movies are mostly 10/10, but this TV Show, Mini-Series is very weak, without Keanu Reeves, or any big actor know for good fights, this is a waste of time, Only 3 episodes, this is simply not worth it.

Cool aethetics but kinda boring. I just couldn't get invested into the characters or plot and the world alone just isn't that interesting.
