The Continental is the 1970s set prequel to the John Wick films, exploring the origins of Winston and how he came to control one of the franchise's most fundamental locations. By turning back the clock, Peacock's series showcases a different view of the franchise that lands with a harsher, grittier crunch than the streamlined and stylish films. It's an interesting approach that pays tribute to the grimy cinema of the era in fun and clever ways.
