John Wick is not an “action series” it’s an urban fantasy leaning heavily on fae rules such as a hidden world overlaid over the mundane world, miraculously out of sight despite its vastness, operating by strict and bloody codes of fairness. AND it’s an action series
John Wick is about crossing a threshold into a magical but brutal society, escaping, and then being dragged back in, forced to adhere to the laws of this terrible land and paying for services using magical gold pieces representing favors, it’s a fairy tale if everyone had a gun
