Summary

Limp Wick John Wick may be dead…but the franchise is very much alive. With spin-off films like Ballerina, Caine, and an anime Wick prequel on the way and John Wick 5 already in the works, the high-octane universe of assassins, coins, and Continental rules isn't slowing down anytime soon. But before we return to the big screen, we’re flashing back to the 1970s for the Peacock mini-series The Continental: From the World of John Wick. Can a TV budget capture the brutal elegance and balletic gun-fu that made the films iconic? And do fans really want the origin story of Winston Scott — played here by Colin Woodell, stepping into Ian McShane’s stylish shoes? Justin, Jason, and Arnie check in for a full review, exploring every bullet, betrayal, and bourbon-soaked twist. Grab your gold coins and hit play — this is one check-in you don’t want to miss!
