Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardOct 23, 2014
Season 1 Review: The latest comic book adaptation to hit TV, NBC’s Constantine is a nifty spookfest with dark humor and some genuine chills. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushOct 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: A near-perfect companion piece to the similarly creepy-quirky Grimm, this lavish adaptation of the DC Comics Hellblazer series is the freakiest and most stylized fantasy pilot since Sleepy Hollow, and Ryan's instant grasp of this cocky but battered hero will make it easy to forget that Keanu Reeves ever went there.

Newark Star-LedgerVicki HymanOct 23, 2014
Season 1 Review: Ryan, a Welsh actor little known on these shores, is the best thing about the pilot. Second best are some genuinely creepy special effects and scares, but the plot itself is a muddle. Read full review

USA TodayRobert BiancoOct 23, 2014
Season 1 Review: Falling somewhere in the middle of the dark/light scale between Gotham and Flash, tonight's promising premiere boasts a few good jolts, a welcome bit of visual flair, and an appealing star turn from Welsh actor Matt Ryan, who conveys just the right mix of tortured soul, biting wit and hunky hero.

Boston GlobeSarah RodmanOct 23, 2014
Season 1 Review: The series looks and feels appropriately ghoulish with a couple of good gotcha moments and excellently rendered scary creatures prowling the shadows, in between clunky expository passages. Read full review

HitfixAlan SepinwallOct 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: There's the structure for a sturdy but unremarkable supernatural procedural (and companion piece to "Grimm"), but in the pilot, at least, producers David Goyer and Daniel Cerone aren't aiming for much more. Read full review

Under The RadarZach HollwedelOct 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: Not only does it promise scares, but it looks good, moves quickly, and uses effects well and wisely. In a market that's rapidly growing, Constantine does a commendable job distinguishing itself. Read full review

New York PostRobert RorkeOct 22, 2014
Season 1 Review: If you’re not already a fan of the story, Constantine has some kinks to iron out before the unenlightened will willingly follow this master of the dark arts. Read full review
