This is an opinion/feature piece from Collider arguing that the John Wick franchise, twelve years after its 2014 debut, remains the standout action series available on streaming today, particularly as the four main films have reportedly been performing strongly on Pluto TV. The article's central point is that the series has maintained consistent quality across its main instalments, with each film escalating in scale and spectacle while still holding together as a satisfying binge.

The piece traces the saga from the original film, in which Keanu Reeves' retired hitman is driven back into violence after criminals kill his dog and steal his car, through to the increasingly elaborate sequels, culminating in the near three-hour John Wick: Chapter 4. It notes the films' growing exploration of the criminal underworld, contrasts John Wick's stature as an action icon with Reeves' other famous role as Neo, and observes that the post-2023 period has focused more on spin-offs, making the franchise's future less predictable than its original four-film run.
