Seen 3 episodes, it's very good so far. Main character is compelling, Killgrave is good villain, stands in sharp contrast with all the lame MCU villains. I like the love interest as well. Some of the noir-ish dialogue is a bit boilerplate, but it's getting better.

I agree this is the edgiest of all the Marvel shows, topping even Daredevil. Rape, torture and lots of sex, this isn't Agents of Shield!

While I was not a real fan of Ritter in other work, she is really good here...on to episode 7!

Ok, I watched and I'm confused.

Spoiler

And another, they made the villain way too good, writing and acting wise because I like him (except for all the mind control killing and rape! :lightsaber: ). What a fucked up childhood.

Never mind. Got my answer on Simpson. 

Spoiler
On the whole, not a bad series (I still have to see the last two eps.) but honestly it's dragging it a bit too much. Did they HAVE to have
Spoiler
Oh, the shady lady is truly shady! Loved that storyline and Carrie Ann Moss is awesome. AWESOME.

Just finished the last ep. Shocked to see Daredevil's Nurse ladyfriend there. I assume they will be intersecting the heroes' storylines at some point. Maybe do a crossover. Wonder which Marvel character is next. Anyway, thanks Don for the heads up. It was entertaining and I was pleasantly surprised to see how well Tennant does the villain after the good cop in Broadchurch (I think that's the one with the kid that got killed and he took lead from the Broadchurch cop)

Not a bad show at all right? I do wonder how the show would fare if you wouldn't binge it. All in all Netflix has been killing it.

Okay, I kinda love this show, probably more than Daredevil. Netflix has been killing it, yeah. I just finished episode 7 now.

SPOILERS
For some reason the scene where Jones walks into the Police Department dripping wet and slams her neighbor's head on Lester Freamon's desk just made me laugh hard. And then feel bad about it (especially in the scene wih his sister asking about him and going mad). Also, Kilgrave is just a massive villain. I love it.

yippie you like Killgrave! I don't know why that makes me happy to be honest. A horrible human being. Wait until you see he's family and his background! freakout and keep and open mind too btw.

Another show that could have greatly benefited from a 6 or 8 episode season instead of 13. Shit really dragged on towards the end and it resulted in a cat-and-mouse chase for 6 or 7 brainless repetitive episodes where you could see the writers think "hmmm what kind of dumb shit can we think of now to stretch this show as far as we can." I am afraid Luke Cage is heading towards the same direction where I am enjoying the first three episodes but can't imagine they can keep up the storyline for 13 episodes.

I agree Jap the show peaked at episode 7 and then just became: catch killgrave. Killgrave escapes. Repeat. Repeat again. Repeat again. Roll credits.

Could have been a fantastic 8 episode run but ended up being bloated. The actors helped make it better though. I like it overall.

Luke Cage was alright (great actors, great soundtrack), except for the villain introduced in the second half of the season. He was just awful.

Daredevil still reins supreme as the only consistently great comic book show.

 It's not *that bad* once you get past the Diamondback character. Also, Mariah and Shades continue to have really wonderful scenes together.

Agree with you all except i felt like Daredevil season 2 wasn't as good as the first (the fight choreography sucked in comparison, i don't know why the abrupt change from the "realistic" aggression in season one to the *conservation of ninjutsu* acrobatic stuff in S2) i felt like the Daredevil's acting unconvincing, Elektra was plain bad, i loved the Punisher though, so there's that, let's hope his own show does better. Kingpin was good but not as good as S1, and the entire plotline felt convoluted and unconvincing, if the baddies had the super-ultra-mega weapon that could destroy the U.S. why aren't the "big" superheroes on to them? How did they kept the a secret for millennia? Ehh.. i know this is from the comics but i think the minor heroes should keep their stakes lower in their series.

The Hand will be the bad guys in the Defenders probably, Dolan. And I actually loved Elektra.
