Constantine: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Constantine was a supernatural thriller series that aired on NBC in the 2014-2015 season. It starred Matt Ryan as John Constantine, a demon hunter, and master of dark arts who exorcises demons from humans and sends the demons to hell. He is joined by Angélica Celaya who plays Mary "Zed" Martin: A psychic who helps Constantine find demons and Charles Halford as Francis "Chas" Chandler: Constantine's oldest friend and sidekick. Harold Perrineau (from the series Lost) also stars as Manny, an Angel assigned to watch over Constantine. The series is basically a case-of-the-week procedural, with the team having to find and then get rid of a particular demon. There is also a serial arc that is tied to Constantine's past that we get a few hints about, but the series was canceled before it could be fleshed out. Of course, most fans of the show know that the character was brought into the Arrowverse when the character appeared on the series Arrow and then became a regular on Legends of Tomorrow. I think the series would have been a lot better off being on The CW as it could have crossed over with the other Arrowverse shows from the get-go, but it was probably too close to the series Supernatural which was, at that time, The CW's longest running show. But, the series was just too dark to get enough of a fan base on a regular broadcast network and was never going to get the kind of ratings it needed to be renewed. For those who get the blu-ray set, the series looks and sounds great in HD. The one benefit of being on a major network is that it got a huge budget so the special effects looked movie quality. As far as extras go, there are a couple of very short behind-the-scenes featurettes, a trailer for the series, and two Comic-Con features. One is a portion of the Constantine panel (that runs about 11 minutes) and the other is the DC Comics Night at Comic-Con 2014 Presenting Gotham, The Flash, Constantine, and Arrow, which runs just under a half hour. Overall, the series is good, but was probably doomed from the start. The showrunners made the curious choice to abandon a major character from the pilot who was clearly going to be a series regular and basically swapped her out with the character of Zed. As I said above, it was probably too dark a show to get traction on any of the major networks as it was only going to appeal to comic book fans and they alone cannot generate the kind of ratings needed to keep a series on a major broadcast network. And, given the themes of demons and the occult that occurred in every episode, there was no chance that casual viewers were going to stick with the show. So, if you watch the show, just know that the series has a pretty unsatisfying end and while the character of Constantine lived on in the Arrowverse, the plot lines (and other characters) from the series did not.

It came in fast the next day like it claimed. I been wanting this series. I was hoping for them to make a season 2 but it seams no one is picking it up. So I decided to buy it. You can buy it on prime. The quality is great they were new discs. 3 discs in one case. Picture quality and color is wonderful ,bluray 1080p and has subtiles.

Cool series.

Love the series. Not being shown on the streaming platforms, so bought the series. It shipped fast and great condition.

As a long-time fan of DC comics, I was thrilled to finally get my hands on Constantine: The Complete Series on Blu-ray. And let me tell you, this show did not disappoint! From the very first episode, I was hooked on the dark and gritty world of John Constantine, a demon hunter and master of the occult who battles against the forces of evil in a desperate attempt to save his own soul. With a cast of unforgettable characters and a storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat, Constantine: The Complete Series is a must-see for any fan of supernatural action and suspense. What really sets this Blu-ray collection apart, however, is the stunning visual and audio quality. Every episode is presented in crystal-clear 1080p high definition, with vibrant colors and razor-sharp clarity that bring the haunting landscapes and terrifying creatures of Constantine's world to life like never before. But the real standout feature here is the immersive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound, which places you right in the middle of the action with spine-tingling sound effects and a hauntingly beautiful musical score. Whether you're watching on a high-end home theater system or a simple soundbar, you'll be blown away by the incredible audio quality of this Blu-ray collection. Overall, I can't recommend Constantine: The Complete Series on Blu-ray enough. It's a thrilling, heart-pounding journey into the darkest corners of the supernatural, and with this collection, you can experience it all in stunning high definition and immersive surround sound. Don't miss out on one of the best supernatural shows of all time!

This show was criminally underrated and unsupported by its network. As a long time Hellblazer fan I loved it. Yes, it didn’t quite get into the Hellblazer canon- but the Easter eggs and story telling were amazing. I’m glad I was able to get this- one of my favorite shows that did nothing wrong, just couldn’t seem to manage to make the big wigs happy.

After watching various DC Comics shows on TV, this by far has been the most captivating and best made. The story of Constantine is a bit convoluted, so you can Google it yourself, but the character, as portrayed by Welsh actor Matt Ryan, is quite engaging with his witty, sardonic humor. It troubles me that most DC title TV shows are basically borderline romantic-comedy-dramas for young teen girls more than anything. I really could not sit through much of "Arrow" and others, and "Legends Of Tomorrow" is so filled with cheese and sub-par acting that it's simply not believable, to an obnoxious level. But, that's my own opinion and others like it. Unfortunately, "Constantine" was cancelled after the initial 13-episode season, due to "poor ratings," which tells us that DC television viewers really are looking more for CW type teen-drama stories rather than darker, grittier stories. This is what makes Marvel that much more popular and sellable - the balls behind it. Thus it's unfortunate perhaps that "Constantine" is a DC title, and perhaps should be sold to Marvel. That won't happen, but... In any case, if you love your "X-Files" and original "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" type of shows, this brings it all up to date, chock full of demon fighting and cynical wit. I personally loved it. Perhaps it's geared more towards adults and should be tried again on a more appropriate network. Oh, and lest I forget... I also enjoyed the Keanu Reeves' film version of this character, although this has a more realistic charm all its own.

It was received in the manufactured packaging everything's played well all the discs were in place when they received

I loved the entire show from start to finish,sadly it ended after only one season so we didn't get to see the multitude of things/people they left out from the comics,the least of which "The House Of Mystery" & Zatanna. If only someone would alert Netflix or Amazon's streaming services for seasons,that'll gain them even more money.

Contentissimo di essere riuscito a trovarlo. Iniziavo a perdere le speranze di poterlo trovare.

まだ１話の途中ですが日本語版何とか発売して欲しいです！アローにもゲストで出演している事ですし是非お願いします

I had originally watched this on Amazon Prime when it first came out and absolutely loved it. I hesitated in buying the series as it got cancelled and didn’t want to be left with a cliffhanger that may never be resolved. Eventually, I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase the Blu-Ray. I’m so glad I did, I watched it through with my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The box set comes with three disks. The special effects are very well done and the story, character develop and acting are pretty solid. Could have done with better special features, but the ones on the disk are not bad either. Picture quality and sound are very good too as you would expect from a Blu-Ray disk. I hope one day Warner Brothers realise what great characters and series they have in their hands and finally give us a second season. For those interested, Constantine has become a regular addition to Legends Of Tomorrow played by the same actor, Matt Ryan, plus there is an 18 certificate animated film and two Justice League Dark animated films voiced by Matt Ryan too. I do recommend this series, just remember that there’s a cliffhanger that may never be addressed. Overall I would give this series an A+

Zuerst einmal: Die DVD, die ich hier gekauft habe, ist entweder Regionalcode frei oder hat den europäischen Regionalcode, sie lässt sich jedenfalls problemlos auf deutschen Geräten abspielen! Diese Information habe ich lange nirgends gefunden und das hat mich davon abgehalten, die DVDs früher zu kaufen. Es ist wirklich, wirklich schade, dass diese Serie nicht weitergeführt wurde und dass sie nie in Deutschland ausgestrahlt wurde. Auf John Constantine bin ich durch die anderen DC-Serien (Arrow und Legends of tomorrow) gestoßen und für mich war schnell klar, dass ich diese Serie unbedingt auch sehen wollte. Und es hat sich wirklich gelohnt! Die Serie bietet alles, was ich mir gewünscht habe, und noch viel mehr. Die Handlung ist spannend und kurzweilig, manchmal lustig, manchmal gruselig, aber nicht zu blutig. Die Charaktere wirken alle sehr dreidimensional und sind toll gespielt. Allen voran natürlich Constantine selbst, den Matt Ryan ganz anders verkörpert, als den Constantine aus dem Film. Aber hier kann man nur sagen: Matt Ryan spielt John Constantine nicht, er ist John Constantine. Es wirkt so natürlich und realistisch, wie er ihn darstellt, dass das Zusehen einfach nur Spaß macht und man richtig mit diesem dunklen Charakter mitfühlt, bei dem eben doch mehr hinter der Fassade steckt als es nach außen hin vielleicht scheint. Die Themen der 13 Folgen sind vielfältig und ich hatte nicht einmal das Gefühl, dass die Thematik sich stark wiederholt, auch wenn es natürlich immer wieder um Dämonen, Engel und das Übernatürliche geht. Hier muss ich auch sagen, dass mich die Serie sehr an die Anfänge von Supernatural erinnert haben und dass sie sicher jedem Supernatural Fan große Freude machen würde, da es doch einige Parallelen gibt, ohne dass das eine wie eine Kopie von dem anderen wirken würde. Wenn man sich darauf einlässt, sollte man natürlich wissen, dass die Serie auf einem Cliffhanger endet. Ich finde ihn aber bei weitem nicht so "schlimm", wie andere und muss sagen, dass ich es einfach nur schade finde, dass dieses Potential verschenkt wurde. Mit der letzten Wendung in der letzten Episode hätten sich so viele interessante Möglichkeiten aufgetan, doch leider wurde die Serie danach abgesetzt. Aber ein Trost ist, dass es zumindest noch einen animierten Film gibt. Vielleicht greift dieser die Storyline noch einmal auf, das werde ich wohl bald erfahren. :) Alles in allem eine absolute Empfehlung für alle Comic Fans und Fans des Übernatürlichen!
