Today we will be talking about the paranormal horror show Constantine which ran for one season on NBC before it was canceled. The show starts with John Constantine (Matt Ryan, no, not the famous NFL quarterback), a seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult, as he battles the forces of evil. Together with the help of his nearly immortal friend Chas (Charles Halford), Zed (Angélica Celaya), a seer who can use her visions to guide them in their battle, and Manny (Harold Perrineau), an angel sent down to watch over Constantine. Prior to the events of the show, John, in over his head with a child exorcism, dooms the subject and his own soul to an eternity in Hell. Knowing that there is nothing he can do to change his fate ultimately, our reluctant hero John fights against the growing evil and tries to stop a looming threat that Constantine and others can see growing in the shadows. Guided by a scry map showing them the location of the next paranormal event the gang must investigate. After saving many lives and ridding the world of many demons and spirits, it is revealed that the folks behind these evils are an ancient organization known as the Brujeria. As the show concludes, we discover that Zed has a brain tumor, which may or may not be the source of her visions, and that Manny is actually the orchestrator of the evil in the world and is working against John and his team the whole time. We are left on the cliffhanger of Manny’s secret evil and Constantine awaiting his next job.
