Written inconsistently, nothing like the character she's supposed to be. Changing demeanour from one episode to the next, if not between scenes.
It's like the writers have no idea what to write her as, so they experiment. And, usually, what comes off is a rather immature brat, playing adult.

First season is a confusing a mess. They ruined Hawkgirl and Hawkman. Sara is I don't know.
Rip Hunter, IMO, is a pointless character. I still can never get into Snart and his cartoonish slow-talking.
Seconds season, I'll admit, is slightly better. I find myself enjoying more than what The Flash is putting out lately. I personally like it better without Rip.

Constantine (2014)
was awesome. We need more of
Matt Ryan
as John Constantine.
At least he'll reprise the role in
Justice League Dark (2017)
.
Now, if he somehow shows up in
Lucifer (2015)
, or even
iZombie (2015)
I'm going to lose it.
(shush, I know it's impossible. It's Christmas dammit!)

Technically speaking, yes. Both
Lucifer
and
iZombie
are Vertigo properties. And, at least
Lucifer
, take place in the DCU.
Now, the shows of course have deviated wildly from the source material, while still being awesome, so it's a bit of a grey area.

When it comes to
Lucifer
, in order to honour the source material, you need a
Lord of the Rings
magnitude of a movie series.
Or a show on HBO, that's not afraid to offend people.

A fully realised
Lucifer
would actually manage to offend the PC crowd
and
the old guard, the religious right.
Which is ironic, if any of them bothered to read the series, but c'est la vie.
The source material gets even more epic, if you include the
Sandman
parts as well (which, strangely enough, includes the "Quiver" arc of
Green Arrow
, as well as an issue where a host of people, including Batman and Superman, as well as you - yes, you - attend an event).

I was liking it a lot. That they were adapting things from Alan Moore's
Swamp Thing
run had me cringing, waiting for something to be done horribly wrong, but they managed it well.
It's not really faithful to the comics, though. Zed is completely different and her name doesn't even make much sense if she's American. Chas being American kind of kills the friends-since-boyhood aspect, but that was liveable. But the thing that still grates is that he's Con-stan-TEEN rather than Con-stan-TINE, when his correcting people on that was a staple aspect of the character.

I am not overly familiar with comics so Im sorry
I think it captures the feel of them and thats what I like
and honestly I love the actress playing Zedshe is just I dont know there is something about her that I cant get enoughshes beautiful I love her accent even though I dont think its that strong but I like it
Shes very well written as well..
Constantine has the bets character writing out of all Arrowverse shows imo
Flash is right behind it -

Constantine was a really good show. I remember watching it on Friday nights after work and drinking some beers. The actor was really great too. He was like a less douchey Colin Farrel type.
Its a shame Constantine didn't get sent to CW like Supergirl did. Then again, Supergirl was CBS and CW is a sister network of theirs. I guess it could have happened if they wanted it. I mean, Scrubs got canceled by NBC and ended up on ABC for its final season. It isn't unprecedented. -

Ehh, don't be sorry. The show needs to be able to stand on its own, rather than just being there for the comics fans. I just don't see the point of changing the way the character's name is pronounced, especially when it ties into so many of the stories. It throws out a lot of backstory they could have used.
I absolutely agree about the actress playing Zed. The character being entirely different rather than a new one grated at first, but she more than compensated for that.
The writing was definitely good, though to be fair, they had much stronger source material to work from than any other show going. The Alan Moore
Swamp Thing
issues they were adapting stories from are about as critically acclaimed as you can get.
