Dan H. Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Just finished watching this. This show is hands down the best thing Marvel has done in their MCU.All complaints I had about Marvel lacking compelling villains were thrown out the window when they brought out Killgrave. In fact Killgrave rivals Heath Ledger's Joker for me.Every single episode is jaw droppingly dark, clever, violent, horrifying, and nihilistic. It's the darkest and most suspenseful and horrific superhero pop culture creation I've ever seen.Highly recommended to fans of Marvel, Sci-fi horror, and Hitchcock-esque mystery and suspense.By far and away the best television show I've seen in years, up there with Breaking Bad.Discuss, tag spoilers.

Angelica Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) I was shocked at how good it was. My favourite show of last year alongside Fargo and Mr Robot. Very happy Netflix has renewed it. Edited January 18, 2016 by Angelica 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I liked it but DareDevil's better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Total snoozefest. I made it through one cliche-filled episode before turning it off.Daredevil is light years beyond this crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's tough to fully embrace a story that has someone with that kind of power and have them just deal with ordinary situations. Go fight Magneto or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Total snoozefest. I made it through one cliche-filled episode before turning it off.So you didn't watch it is what you're sayingDaredevil is fantastic, but I put Jessica Jones above it. First episode is slow, picks up once Killgrave comes into playIt's tough to fully embrace a story that has someone with that kind of power and have them just deal with ordinary situations. Go fight Magneto or something. We've seen people fight Magneto. Killgrave isn't going for world domination, he is just selfish, irresponsible, and delusional. We haven't seen a super villain wielding so much power with such little regard for the consequences or implications of it in any of the MCU movies or shows before Edited January 18, 2016 by Dan H.

Black Sabbath Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I liked Daredevil but two episodes into this and I'm liking this a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I won't even bother. Marvel hasn't ever appealed to me no matter their effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapJon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I liked Daredevil but two episodes into this and I'm liking this a lot more.Just wait. I think Jessica Jones starts off great but drops in quality. DareDevil starts very good and gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bob Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I won't even bother. Marvel hasn't ever appealed to me no matter their effort.The netflix stuff that Marvel has, it's way better than their movies, and I barely like their movies, you should bother.

Black Sabbath Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Six episodes down and my o my real gripe is the cop that came out of nowhere and just kind of turned vigilante and started helping out. Still enjoying it a bit more than I was Daredevil though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly going with the rape and arrogant masculinity themes they throw around, it would have made way more poetic sense if the talk show lady had just refused to forgive him, didn't let him into her house, and he never showed back up again. He gets way worse and way way more convoluted and confusing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm on episode 8. The black dude isn't that great of an actor. Seems too forced. And how drugged up was he? Dude got clean in like a day and is the epitome of people trying to turn their lives around?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The Hogarth subplot is so annoying but I guess it'll go somewhere. 3 episodes left I think. Still enjoying it amidst the minor annoyances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think I had a few more gripes with this show than I did Daredevil but overall I enjoyed Jessica Jones more. Kilgrave was/is especially better than Kingpin, both character and performance-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
