“And the wonderful thing about the film series is they don’t give the audience all the answers.
They can be quite vague.
There may not even be logic to some of this stuff.

It’s not just the character development that stands out as different from the movies, though.

Don’t worry, though.
The Continental airs Fridays on Peacock.
