Matt Ryan as John Constantine


Looks a little clean for my taste, but it's still early yet.  David Goyer's involvement means it could go either way.

His tie like that reminds me of the Nostalgia Critic.

I was worried when they announced a Fargo TV series without Frances McDormand...
BUT! THIS! LOOKS! GOOD!

Wow, that actually does look good. I am surprised that with Martin Freeman's success with The Hobbit he'd want to go to a TV show. But I guess recently with so many quality dramas on cable networks, that doesn't have the stigma it used to.

Enlisted cancelled.

Mind Games cancelled.

*shrug*

I only watched Enlisted because Ron Funches was in the pilot.  It was ok.  Had a few laughs mainly at the expense of the dumb brother.

I didn't bother with Mind Games because I figured it's a Christian Slater show, it's going to be cancelled.

Fox has cancelled Almost Human.

   I enjoyed it.

Fox has cancelled Almost Human.

   I enjoyed it.

It was even better in order. (How I have it on my hard drive, and hopefully how the DVD release will have the episodes) There was better dynamic, character progression, and subtle mythology spattered throughout the season.

Fox really screwed the pooch on that show.

Agree with both posts (liked it; better in order and screwed the pooch).

Seems Fox has something against 'genre' shows succeeding on its network (I seem to recall a certain show by a Very Famous Writer/Director that was aired grossly out of order (with the two-part pilot aired last) which helped result in its untimely demise on that network as well).

The network's recently unveiled development slate is stuffed with the kind of genre entertainment -- space operas, time travel, urban magic -- it has forsaken for so long.
