Matt Ryan guest stars as John Constantine on Arrow season 4 episode, “Haunted.”
Here’s Mike’s review.
This Arrow review contains spoilers.
And we know what this show is capable of when it works.
But it feels like were spinning our wheels this week.
Theres barely enough actual story in Haunted to justify it beings its own episode.
This is a problem.
On the other hand, it doesnt feel like a backdoor pilot for a Constantine revival, either.
Instead, Im kind of left feeling a little confused about what was really supposed to happenhere.
That meansArrowseason 4 needs to step on the gas.
Meanwhile…On an Island…
Holy moley…the flashbacks werent completely useless this week!
But the revelation that Reiter is far more than just some drug lord finally gave things some needed weight.
Magic or no magic, we all know places like that.
That could certainly make for the change in tone Ive been saying we need this year.

John Constantine first appeared in Saga of theSwamp Thing#37 in 1985.
We finally get an indication of Curtis background as the old superhero standby of an olympic class athlete.
Correct me if Im wrong, but was this the first mention of Pennytown on the show?
