That has the potential to be really cool if picked up by the right people.

Picked up by Fox, put on Fridays, cancelled by episode 4.

I would like to make a Reservation please.

Just watched JW2 last night. Pretty good ... up till he chose Glocks over HKs.

At least when he ran out of bullets, he was able to use the Glook as a grenade, and kill 6 bad guys.

I'd def give the Continental a look.

Maybe TV worth watching.

Yeah, when he went into that little shop and chose what he chose, I was like...

I want them to explain what the coins are worth. It made sense right up until Common paid for two drinks with a coin.

Meh... when you pile-up the bodies like Wick does, two drinks seems about right.

Lots of potential, hope they don't fuck it up.

I hope Ian McShane has a role in the show, even though he may be busy with his American Gods show.

Christopher Walken is getting a show? Neat.

Only if it's good.

If it's terrible, picked up by CBS, 7pm in Tuesday, and you're racist if you don't watch it. 17 seasons.

I would give it a shot.

I love JW

JW:2 had some stuff that made me go

with some off the wall repetitiveness and such. I still enjoyed it for just being a movie though.

Single unit medium of exchange. Basically one step above barter. Every transaction is paid for with 1 coin. Hotel stay? 1 coin/day. Body disposal, 1 per body. Round of drinks, etc.

The Continental is basically the bank - all transactions flow through it. They are the source of the coins, and presumably set the exchange rate, as it's the Continental that gets paid when a hit is completed (I think). They basically control the money supply, and can inflate or deflate to suit market conditions.

Or, they are worth spot price per weight, and hit men just have so many of them they spend them like pennies.

It actually makes a lot sense from perspective that the Continental does not want people living there in perpetuity. So the essentials needed to work, a safe space and guns, are cheap. This keeps the hotel operating, but luxuries are exceedingly expensive. You will rapidly go broke if you had to eat there, thus you will leave at some point and the rule no longer applies.

Great idea. Unfortunately there have been a number of great ideas that have suffered because of poor execution. I really hope they can pull this one off.

just having him do some voiceover narration as we're introduced to other staffers would be cool...it could almost be an updated fantasy island, but with guns and classic cars and other cool shit

I liked the first movie. It had a decent story to go along with the action. The second movie... I struggled to stay awake

It was just so repetitive and just lacked any substance to keep me interested.

I'd check out a TV show spin off.. but my hopes are not very high.

hopefully it's done right and kicks as much ass as JW. Wonder if it will tie in to the movies like Marvel does with their TV shows and movies.

I'll be pissed if they screw it up.

Meh, movies weren't that great. They essentially redefined the cheesy 80s action movie with less 80s cheese, aiming and reloading. I enjoyed it for what it was but won't care to watch this.

I did eventually too lol. I gave up about halfway though it. Kept dozing off and having to back to the last scene I remembered. Gave up after a few tries. Finally finished the movie 2 weeks later

JW2 was just way too repetitive for me.

Put it on a premium network that can show blood and swear.

The coins are a symbol of an elite currency that is made of gold. The actual worth of a coin as an elite currency is more than the base metal....which should confuse you more.
