Where to watch Constantine
We could not find Constantine on any of the subscription services we track in the US right now. That changes often; open it in Binge Boss and we will show you where it lands.
What kind of watch this is
Constantine is a 13-episode series that runs 9 hours total. It pairs the gritty, noir-ish texture of a detective show with high-stakes supernatural battles. Matt Ryan plays a man who uses a scrying map to hunt demons across the US. The hook is simple: he fights back against his own demons. It is dry, violent, and visually dark. If you like your fantasy grounded in a protagonist who is deeply flawed and running out of time, press play.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports a 72% approval rating, averaging 6.2 out of 10 across 46 reviews. The consensus notes that creepy atmosphere and special effects overcome narrative flaws. Metacritic lands on 53 out of 100, indicating mixed or average reviews. Kylie Peters of Den of Geek called it "not half bad." Jonathan Bernstein of The Daily Telegraph was less generous, calling the pilot "an endurance test." He praised Matt Ryan’s gravelly charm. It is a show that relies on its lead to save the rest of the room.
How it did with audiences
The box office ledger is empty, so we look to the people who actually sat in the dark. On TMDB, users rate Constantine 7.7 out of 10. That is a solid score. Audiences often know a good thing when they see it, even if the spreadsheets never catch up to the applause.
What came next for the cast
Harold Perrineau moved from the Matrix sequels to a string of varied roles, including The Rookie and Dumplin’. Matt Ryan shifted from Layer Cake to a recurring spot in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Charles Halford went from The World’s Fastest Indian to Bad Times at the El Royale. The timeline shows what followed, but not why.
