Looks cool. Didn't know Mel Gibson still did stuff. Wasn't the entire world mad at him for some reason? It's not scientology I think. Or is it?
Racism and antisemitism iirc, and lots of it.
God, dragging 4 movies out of such a simple concept felt like a push, and now tv series too?
My initial thought was feck Mel Gibson, and no Ian McShane no party, but it kinda looks fun.
I love the world of John Wick tbf, will check this out at least.

They were mad at him for a while, forgave him and then got mad at him again. I'm not sure where they stand with him now but he mostly does B movies.
The lead in this seems to lack charisma. It's the type of role Gibson would've excelled at in his younger days.
Paper thin, goofy comic setting used as a backdrop for Keanu to mindlessly kick and flip about on for a couple of hours, becomes nu-Chad Cinematic Universe.
From the guy who wrote Ride Along.
I hate movies now.

Looks alright. Like the 70s NYC setting. What’s Peacock? What streaming platform will it be on?
Right it was over The Passion, that was it.
I think Gibson already made one post-cancellation comeback movie? Grizzled revenge thriller exploitation cinema type thing. Can’t remember the name. But it was quite good.
Should be good fun/entertainment. Looking forward to another spin-off from this world called Ballerina.
That's funny more than anything.
The "I've done all the necessary mea culpa's" really sounds like he bettered himself though. And the fact he's an old man who uses the word dude.
The 4th film really was all gear, no idea.
Looks cheesy as hell. Bit of a manga/Tarantino meets John Wick universe. But one thing that does seem cool is that the lead actor seems to make for a pretty believable younger version of Ian M Shane/Winston.
There was a lot of 'n' word stuff on an ex partners voicemail too I believe
It's a cheesy concept but I quite enjoyed what I saw of it. Definitely worth watching.
I think that's NBC's streaming service.
It's a bird
Swing away, Mel
You can apply that to a lot of things including religion.
Amazon I think.
Its interesting that Peacock is investing in new content creation/production.
On the trailer it looked good but so did John wick 4 which I thought was absolute load of bollox. Went too comic booky with the characters
John Wick is Winston's nephew? The only son of Yen and Frenkie?
