Well...I'm catching up on the Marvel shows on Netflix.
Several months ago, I started in on Jessica Jones. Interesting character development, interesting character. I can see this one going a ways.
Got started on Daredevil. A few episodes in, got really busy elsewhere and didn't get back to it. I left it after the episode where Frank Castle had Daredevil on the roof.
This last week, I finally got back to Netflix and decided I'd jump in with Iron Fist. I like the idea of Iron Fist. Given the comic book history with its linkage to Luke Cage (Power Man), it was inevitable this series would come along. Buuuut...I'm not very impressed with the way the character is being portrayed. Perhaps the second season will improve on this. Danny Rand, a man so highly trained in the martial arts and having achieved the Iron Fist...has anger management issues which come across as pretty frickin' immature. Honestly...it's more like he's some angsty teenager than a highly trained martial artist.
Luke Cage. D*MN, this one is going good! I'm on the 9th episode as I type. The actor is doing a bang-up job with the character. He's got a very powerful, reserved personality. A presence...a powerful, well developed and developing character.
I'm hoping to be able to get back to Daredevil this weekend and see where that one went.
And I understand Punisher has a series now, too. He looked damn good in Daredevil. And Defenders is coming soon, too, which ties these people together.
Over all, it's shaping up very well, in my opinion.
