  Constantine brought the enigmatic, chain-smoking exorcist and occult detective John Constantine to the small screen. Based on the DC Comics character, the series followed Constantine as he battled demons and dark forces, often reluctantly, to protect humanity from the rising tide of evil. Matt Ryan perfectly embodied the cynical, morally ambiguous, yet ultimately good-hearted anti-hero. The show was praised for its dark tone, supernatural horror elements, and faithful adaptation of the comic book's gritty aesthetic. A cool detail is that the series often incorporated elements directly from the 'Hellblazer' comics, from specific spells to the look of certain demons, delighting long-time fans. Despite its short run, Constantine left a lasting impression, particularly due to Ryan's portrayal, which he later reprised in other Arrowverse shows, cementing his place as the definitive live-action Constantine.
