John Wick series can't replicate movie's success.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Editor's note: This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn't exist.
The Continental, of course, is named after the hotel for hired killers run by Ian McShane's Winston Scott, and said establishment plays a large role in this new show. Back in the 1970s, when the series takes place, The Continental is run by ruthless crime boss Cormac who, in the opening minutes, is betrayed by his trusted lackey Frankie .
With all this going on, it's little wonder The Continental's three episodes all stretch towards or over an hour and a half. Arguably, that much space is necessary for all the plots and characters, but it's also safe to say the sheer number of activity going on in this series isn't necessary at all. One of the strengths of the John Wick franchise is its ability to expand the world while keeping the focus on John himself. That strength doesn't extend here.
