Constantine season 1 may be over, but it’s not forgotten — and these quotes are just the tip of the iceberg.

While Constantine‘s fate is currently up in the air, we’re revisiting all the reasons why we love this show. The snappy one-liners and witty exchanges make up only a small portion of the show’s awesomeness, but they certainly pack a punch nonetheless.

Constantine burst through our doors back in October and brought us Matt Ryan as the man himself, John Constantine. While the show never rocketed to stardom like we’d hoped it would, the small-but-loyal fan base has continuously made it known that we would like to see more from the self-proclaimed Master of the Dark Arts and his friends.

With quotes straight from the comic and hilariously smart original lines, each episode was packed with quotable monologues that left us chuckling well after the episode aired. While this article presents only a fraction of the writing team’s brilliance and the actors’ comedic timing, we hope it may be enough to convince the newbies to give this show a try — as well as provide a nice walk down memory lane for the die-hard fans!

So, with Constantine’s best quotes as our witness, we’re here to tell you we love the show because…
