Anyone who was a skeptic is crazy in my books, the entire thing looks superb. Of all the shows coming, I'm most hyped for this.

Agreed, with this, Flash, Arrow, Supernatural, Gotham, Haven! I'm ready! TV season can't start sooner!

[Zagreus]

Much better preview than the last one. Liking the horror elements. Ohhkay... I'll give it an episode or two...

[Jorge]

It looks very, very expensive. Lots and lots of digital FX shots. Not a lot of practical and in camera FX.

I'm curious about the budgets. With this show being on NBC, I can't imagine what the expectations are...

As a Brit, let me tell you - that's not a Geordie accent that he's speaking in.

Excited about Zed and Spectre coming into the show. Also doubly excited about the Dr Fate easter egg.

This looks damn cool.

As an american let me tell -we don't really care. At least I don't.

[LanternWolf]

It looks like spoilers:

Pandora's Box

end of spoilers was also included in this new trailer. It must have some importance further on in the series. I actually liked this trailer more that the first one. It also looks like another episode will take place during Halloween.

Good, because Constantine is from Liverpool, he's meant to be Scouse, not a Geordie. As it is, he sounds vaguely northern, which is the right enough region and good enough for me. Considering the show is on NBC and as long as he sounds "British" american audiences will be happy. The fact that Matt Ryan is putting on any accent other than his native Welsh is a good sign that he's taking the role seriously and the show makers are doing the same.

As a fellow Brit, let me tell you - the vague 'northern' accent Matt Ryan employs for the show is a good thing. If he tried a proper scouse accent it'd need subtitles.

In all seriousness, I'm really looking forward to this. This Autumn is gonna be great for new shows.

As an American, I'm just glad Constantine wasn't changed into an American.

Yeah, it's pretty jarring. It's not so much generic northern as veering all over the country from one word to another. He needs to pick a dialect and stick with it.

As for the rest... meh. Put me in DebkoX's book of crazy skeptics, cos there's nothing that screams 'must watch' telly there.

It kind of looks like Supernatural meets Elementary.
