The Continental: From the World of John Wick
Created by Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward, Shawn Simmons
The origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he's dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970's New York City to face a past he thought he'd left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel's mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne. From TMDB

60 of 171 · most liked firstI think AEW has a presentation problem, and by that I don’t mean they should be like WWE at all BUT They should put their stuff over more, hype up the Continental Classic so much and make it and its matches unique. Treat the first MAX show like the biggest thing ever.

neutral · AI labelView post →Another great PPV top to bottom. The highs outweighed the lows by far. I’m looking forward to the Continental Classic Selection Sunday special tomorrow but they should’ve advertised it on the show.
neutral · AI labelView post →this is similar to my pitch that The Continental should have been an ongoing workplace show about running a hotel for assassins (what is housekeeping like in a place like that? what about room service? Do you get tipped with a big gold coin?) instead of a shitty miniseries starring a famous bigot
negative · AI labelView post →Casual 1:00 Jack White show @ The Continental Club
neutral · AI labelView post →An episodic show set in the Continental starring Lance Reddick would have been both a great show and an incredible last project. That instead they did some shitty three part miniseries starring fucking Mel Gibson is proof that execs should not have any creative input

neutral · AI labelView post →John Wick as a series never got better than that original. It never became anything less than good, but it peaked at the start. That simplicity made it. I'm not sure knowing anything about JW's world/the Continental past what the first film showed us actually made things any better
neutral · AI labelView post →I've seen all 4 John Wick movies, Ballerina, and the Continental TV show. The original John Wick is still my favorite. It's the rawest, doesn't have all the "mythology" built up, and just some amazing action scenes. Plus nothing beats Vigo's reaction once he finds out who his son wronged.
neutral · AI labelView post →I would write a very good version of The Continental as a low stakes ongoing workplace show. the staff has to cover up a murder while an underworld bigwig is visiting. a legendary assassin will be checking in but no one knows what they look like. an ep that just follows the room service folks
neutral · AI labelView post →It's hilarious to see how toxic The Continental was. No one else involved with John Wick wants to be associated with it. Goes to show what Mel Gibson's worth these days ...
negative · AI labelView post →The Colorado Trail is a series of roads and trails that generally follows the Continental Divide for almost 500 miles between Denver and Durango. The trail splits in the middle, with the more difficult and scenic route to the west. #coloradotrail #hiking #mountainbiking
neutral · AI labelView post →There are two tv shows I would like to be hired to write. I have made no effort to make them happen, but you know. They are: 1. A workplace show about the day to day running of the Continental in John Wick (what that show should have been) 2. An animated Bloodborne show

neutral · AI labelView post →“The Cats Bah”, directed by Chuck Jones, was released on this day in 1954. The framing segments parody actor Renzo Cesana in an early TV show from 1952 called “The Continental”. There are references to Charles Boyer’s Pepé Le Moko and Algiers as it is set at the Casbah. #LooneyTunes
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe the Continental series does that, I haven’t watched it. But I love stuff like seeing the Clancy Brown character with the same missing ring finger John has and absolutely no elaboration, so you know he’s been ground up by a similar part of the machine with a very different outcome.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Continental (Limited Series, 2023)
neutral · AI labelView post →Just in general it's a good watch - my conceptual history of the American Revolution was much more "a series of sporadic events intercut with meetings of the Continental Congress" and it's nice to put some connecting tissue together.
neutral · AI labelView post →A stealth sequel to Robert Altman's The Player is a joke in itself; Seth Rogen's comedy series for Apple sees Griffin Mill (Bryan Cranston) at the Continental Pictures helm. Rogen plays a studio head appeasing everyone from Martin Scorsese to Charlize Theron. 3/5 film-authority.com/2025/03/29/t...

They started threatening staff AND our diverse guests. And, well, they're not allowed back and there's allegedly a movie being made about starring our fav guest????

The tournament failed to recognise his continentality. This year, I'm hoping The Beast Mortos will show up in a dinner suit, do The Continental and win the whole thing. 🤼♀️

neutral · AI labelView post →Do we think MOX is gonna keep his current workrate of wrestling on every show now that he is the Continental Champion? Will this become the most defended title? Who do we expect to challenge him beyond Fletcher, Okada, or Takeshita? Will he take on everyone that was in the C2 that he didn’t? #AEW
neutral · AI labelView post →How are these two both critically unable to understand the story they're building for the Continental Classic is Takeshita beating Okada? They didn't mention him once! There was a staredown at the end of the show! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. youtu.be/5gSQ19eUF0A?...

(The bad edit was me making it fit the time limit)
neutral · AI labelView post →I quite like calling the women's tournament 'Sovereign Series'. A similar style to Continental Classic but instead of winning the equivalent of the Continental Tite, AEW invites women from other promotions (ROH, NJPW, CMLL, etc.) and have the winner challenge for a World title at Forbidden Door.
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't watched a single Gibson movie or TV show since his drunken rant years ago. I'm a huge John Wick fan but skipped indulging in the "The Continental" because fuck Mel Gibson.
negative · AI labelView post →Chris Charlton just shitting on AEW for no reason, in a cross-promoted show. I'll be the first to say AEW should've done more to promote this show but to talk down on the Continental Classic out of the blue is just classless. Very bitter night of work from him. 🤼♂️ #njWD

neutral · AI labelView post →It occurs to me that referencing Christopher Walken as The Continental (on SNL) in 2026 is not too far off, timewise, from Christopher Walken referencing The Continental (lost 1952 TV series) on SNL in 1990.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished #AEWFullGear and I already known that there are going to be a lot of furious people with the Cage Match. 😂 I thought that the show itself was excellent and we have got Swerve back just in time for the Continental Classic! Great show. #AEW 🤼
neutral · AI labelView post →Do non-killers show up at the Continental and wonder what the fuck is going on?
neutral · AI labelView post →i mean, Viviana Valentine 😉 but clearly Nick & Nora Charles win, followed by the Continental Op. for newer creations, the Arthur Skelton series by David Stanford is absolutely wonderful for Poirot fans. Edgar his legal assistant is just wonderful.
neutral · AI labelView post →Boy, Ian McShane sounds a bit miffed at the existence of The Continental TV series spin-off show and that he or anyone else in the original John Wick cast wasn't asked about it before it was announced. (Just happened on The One Show.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m learning a lot from Ken Burns’ latest series - “The Revolutionary War.” The militias of that day and the Continental Army were more diverse, including indigenous Americans and free Black men, than any army we fielded until the latter half of the 20th century.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't give a single solitary shit about The Continental, but if they made John Wick: The Animated Series? Where every morning he got dressed in a rotating wardrobe of a thousand bulletproof suits? And gave him a talking dog sidekick? I'd watch that show every week.
negative · AI labelView post →AEW has clearly established All In as their biggest show of the year and they have also established a few other tentpole events outside of ppv. GrandSlam has become the international special episode of dynamite. Blood and Guts is a yearly event and the Continental Classic is a holiday tradition

neutral · AI labelView post →When Kyle O'Reilly gets cleared, I want him to gun for a singles championship. His series with Mox this past fall was so god damn good. Hell, have him gun for Mox and the Continental Championship. The story is right there for him having Mox's number. #AEW #WrestleSky
neutral · AI labelView post →to use another random example that brought this to mind, someone was talking about how the John Wick series does *not* go for realism around the Continental/the nightclubs full of rich people, which are portrayed as Super Cool and Badass when really they'd be unbearable
