ApathyMonger July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Constantine Will Not Be Bisexual on the NBC Show With NBC's Constantine premiering in the fall, there has been some speculation as to whether whether the character of John Constantine, a.k.a Hellblazer (portrayed by Matt Ryan) would be bisexual on the show as he is in the DC comics. At the TCA press tour on Sunday executive producer Daniel Cerone put any such rumors to rest, arguing that the demon fighter's bisexuality hasn't historically been a crucial element of his character. "In those comic books, John Constantine aged in real time,” he said. “Within this tome of three decades [of comics] there might have been one or two issues where he’s seen getting out of bed with a man. So [maybe] 20 years from now? But there are no immediate plans.” Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7020-constantine-in-the-media/#findComment-197896

Danny Franks July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 Ehh, between that lame excuse and Lucy Griffiths randomly leaving the show, outlook not good on the fate of Constantine. I'm disappointed. Agreed. I'm really pulling back from this show, based on this stuff. The reasoning, while probably very common within TV studios, just feels a little sleazy when it's out in the open like this. Both the decision about Constantine's sexuality and the decision about canning Lucy Griffiths. Plus, with the news of a pilot scene reshoot, and the "Constantine's friends die all the time" line in a recent interview, then the fact it's the only woman in the pilot who might be getting killed? Yeah, seems like some of the worst comic book tendencies are being adopted, here. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7020-constantine-in-the-media/#findComment-199975

FurryFury July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 You'd think at this point, a bisexual lead character is more likely to attract viewers than repel them.

Altered Reality November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 Not sure that 13 is it for this show. I saw rumblings way back before the show aired that they might go with 13 episode seasons, just as was being done with Hannibal. And I don't think that's a bad idea. The typical 22 episode season leaves (IMHO) too much room for "filler" episodes. I'd much rather have just 13 well crafted episodes than 13 or 14 good episodes and 8 or 9 that do nothing to advance the story. The 38% jump in ratings this week won't hurt the show's chances of a second season. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7020-constantine-in-the-media/#findComment-596282

No way would AMC pick up a network comic book show. They are all about pretentious award baits (except Walking Dead, but even it is much duller than a zombie show has any right to be). I realize this is a very unpopular opinion, though :) As for SyFy, they are actually trying to move away from wrestling and superficial stuff like Warehouse 13. 12 Monkeys isn't what I'd call a great show, but it's a step in the right direction, at least. Defiance is also watchable, for the most part. So they aren't as bad now, but still far cry from the days of BSG. Still, it would be nice if they picked this up. I still haven't seen any episodes past the pilot because I prefer not to invest in low-rated shows, unless I fall in love from the get-go (which didn't happen for me this time).

If that is correct, bam! They now could have a spooky, comic book-y block of programming for Friday or Saturday adding Constantine. That being said, I get it if it stays "in the family" of NBCU and SyFy. I think the cast is fine and the writers are getting the rhythms of the show down.
