Les Deplorables
So far, and surprisingly, it's better than most of the Marvel tv series, IMHO. Better than Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders. And better than all the Daredevil episodes that didn't have the Punisher. Especially surprising since this is made for ABC while these other Marvel series are on Netflix. I guess take this with a grain of salt, as I called it quits ~2 episodes into Luke Cage, and about 20 minutes into Iron Fist, so my opinion of those series is based on what I saw and on how much I disliked both characters (along with Daredevil) in Defenders.
Some of the dialogue is terrible and many of the special effects are decidedly low rent (it's TV, not the movies), but unlike, say Luke Cage, the pacing will not put you to sleep. And one of the main characters is Ramsey Bolton, and he plays a villain again, so that's a plus.
Edit: The third episode was definitely a fall-off from the first two, so I'll have to lower my rating on this by a notch, which puts it into the Jessica Jones and Daredevil level of watch-ability. Still better than Luke Cage and Iron Fist.
