I haven't, but thinking maybe I should.

Better than Arrow?

[DELETED]

Yeah, Arrow sets a pretty high bar. Flash is pretty good too, in a family friendlier sort of way. My 11-year-old and I make a point of watching that one together every week.

I am really liking the way superheroes have come back in such a big way.

Will watch it this weekend with a few friends. Glad to see that the 'minor' superheroes are finally getting the attention they deserve.

Ironically enough, Flash (which, as I mentioned, seems skewed a bit younger) has stronger female characters, and it is Barry (Flash) that does most of the whining...

I have been meaning to check it out - This thread made me turn it on ...

Mistake.

Should have waited till I got home ...

I finally finished Daredevil today. I'm definitely excited for season 2 now that his origins have been mostly covered. Call me a sucker, but I love it when they have their "super hero" suits and gadgets. I wonder who'll be the next main villain..

The wife and I watched the first episode last night. So far, eh. I'll give it another shot, but the ball and chain is ruthless when the first episode doesn't pull her. She might be out.

I watched the first episode and liked it. I'm going to watch a couple more to see if I get hooked. I'm not hooked yet. Though two of my Marvel comic collecting buddies told me it gets better and better.

The fight scenes are well-choreographed. I think it was an auspicious beginning.

I still like the Arrow better, but we shall see as time passes on.......

Dammit Claude.

I blame you for this.

Watched the second episode. Even convinced the wife to watch it with me. Slowish and boringish. I'm really trying to like this show, but it needs to make a better case for itself.

And that fight scene. Ugh.

I think I'm going to watch the third episode right now. I have to get up early and I'm not sleepy. Episode 3 should cure that.

I can't believe how much nudity there is.

Netflix Orders Second Season of Marvel's Daredevil - TIME

Just finished the season late last night (I had some business trips that interfered with the binge).

It was great to see Scott Glen (as Stick) pop up in there. He looks great - I hadn't seen him in such a long time that I figured he was out of the game.

Also I didn't realize that was Fisk was played by Vincent D'Onofrio - he sure looks different than he did back in the day. He really consumed the character.

The fighting got better and better, the story really drew me in, and by the end I was wanting more - a lot more.

I am very excited for season 2. A whole friggin year from now.

Great recommendation Claude. Thanks.

I finished it last week. I'm still not sold. I'll probably watch the second season, but I'm just not enthralled by it.


Of course, I feel this way about most shows unless we're talking about GoT or TWD.


Oh, and never thank Claude for anything, Jack. In his mind that constitutes a contractual agreement. He'll show up on your doorstep in the middle of some rainy night wearing nothing but bubble wrap and holding a shovel.

To start off I should disclose that I've never been into super-heroes that much. I've always preferred anti-heroes myself.

Prime examples of anti-heroes are Eddie Fitzgerald from the UK version of Cracker (still my favourite TV show of all time), Francis Urquhart from the UK version of House of Cards, Anthony Soprano, and more recently, Walter White from Breaking Bad.

Since we can now legally access Netflix Down Under, I gave this show a go. The first episode did nothing to convert me into a superhero fan, but watched the next couple to see how it developed. It's worh a watch, but still not really my cup of tea.

I'll probably watch the rest of the series in due course, but I've found that binge viewing Arrested Development is a better use of my spare time. How this show never built anything more than a cult following is beyond me. Perhaps it was too clever for the average TV viewer. One of the best comedies ever made, and of course every character in the show is an anti-hero of sorts.

ok, I just finished Bosch.

How do I feel? Respected.

Good solid show. Intelligent. Satisfying. Mature. Well worth the watch. I look forward to the next installment.

Better than Daredevil? I would say they are two totally different experiences. Remember, DD is a comic book, Bosch is based on a series of novels. Two totally different mediums and different ways of telling a story.

Now that they are both behind me, I am excited to finish Arrow this week and Flash next week.

What's next?

Why the hell do I always have to be the one to keep this incredibly important thread on track?

I just finished True Detective (and just in time for season 2, apparently).

Great performances, great story. They handled all the time jumping masterfully, and the relationships were really compelling.

But...

Am I the only one who had trouble keeping up with all of the details and complexities? It felt a bit too overwhelming trying to keep everything straight. After a while, it just became easier to let go and take things on faith that I would normally feel motivated to make sure I followed.

Is it just me, or was this one about 20% too big for the medium?

I am headed to New Orleans for the week on Monday. Unless I find something better, I'll be taking season 1 of Constantine on the flight with me.

Falling skies lost me after 3 episodes...

Constantine, I struggled to get through all 13 episodes. Had I not known it was over with season 1, I probably would have given up on it sooner. But I figured what the hell, I would soldier through and see everything they put out here. Biblical fantasy just didn't do it for me.

But Mr. Robot, which just ended it's first season on Wednesday, that was REALLY good. Nice and complex, adult, a bit dark and very relevant to the times (they even got a timely Ashley Madison hack reference in...)

If anyone is looking for something to watch, go find that one.

Oh, and Rick and Morty. Funniest show on tv.

Daredevil was great. Both myself and my wife were impressed with the writing, characters, action, story progression. It ties into the comics well to. I'm looking forward to the next season and the other Netflix series that tie in to it.

Daredevil is absolutely killer.



The only bad part, was that it was a TAD cheesy. (Just the idea of a blind dude wrecking everyone).

Stick was an absolute badass.

I give the show an easy 9.5 out of 10... I can't wait for future marvel releases on Netflix, which are slated to be numerous. The dude who played "Shane" from the walking dead is going to play "The Punisher". That should be totally marvelous. Shane > Rick.

PS:

I was sad when Fisk's right hand man got eliminated. I thought he was neat. (I have a bad tendency to show sympathy for supervillains).

Never got around to finishing season 1. Ive found watching this show is a much better use for my time.
