It's the World of John Wick in the 1970s and Winston is a young man about to take over the The Continental. Like all prequels, there's a sense that we already know what will happen - can't be helped - but it's still interesting to see where the character came from (and Charon too) and who ran the plan before him (Mel Gibson playing a megalomaniac manager who dares break the hotel's most sacred rules). The three feature-length episodes are more plotty than the Wick movies - as TV normally is - but I wouldn't call that a bug. The non-stop action of the films set them apart from other movies in the genre, but also came with a price tag. The TV show still delivers Wick-style action, but also much more of a story. More than one, even - the police detective who follows her prey into the Continental, the theft of a coin press, the dojo owner who won't use a gun, etc. - and the con/heist elements in the main story are right up my alley. My favorite part is really the music, and I can't wait to find a playlist of all those 1970s hits and run them on a loop. 6 months 3 weeks ago
