What's the story behind the female lead? Wasn't she playing Rachel weiz's character? Is she not vital to the story in the comics? They could have easily recast the part rather than change characters, seems like a waste to introduce all that backstory

Ill reserve judgement for a few episodes since pilots generally arent great.


But man that was a shytty pilot :heh:

Bland cinematography, cheesey effects, wooden acting, bad dialogue.

Pretty much all the staples of network tv :russ:

And the fact they cant show him smoking is just :snoop:

it really is hard to go back to network TV.

shows i would have been addicted to 10 years ago feel like trash now

theres still a couple gems tho

Goyer and crew decided to go in another direction after the pilot aired and that did not include her character so she was written out.

My biggest issue with this show was the character of Liv and even though her being written off was done in a clunky way I don't even mind because she was just terrible.
The show has potential, dude playing Constantine is perfect for the role and hopefully they go for a "Supernatural in the DC universe" vibe with this.

:what:
So they axed the female lead from the pilot and are replacing her on tonights episode. So the pilot was essentially had huge chunks of time that were pointless and this is going to be like a 2nd pilot.

Shows off to a bad start.:patrice::patrice:

Replaced her with a character from the comics. Should've taken that route from to begin with, honestly.

All I can think is this show would be better on hbo or showtime.

Just look at penny dreadful on showtime. That show is :ohlawd: because of the acting and production values.

If ypure into supernatural stuff like constantine watch penny dreadful. Its got frankenstein, vampires, werewolves etc but its so well done.

Yeah i was a fan of the comics and movie so im going to keep watching and hope it picks up.

Its hard to gage a shows quality from a pilot.

I really dont like the serialized monster of the week format network tv always has though.
