Half a season into Amazons JACK RYAN, and it’s REALLY well done and super entertaining! Really pleased it’s got s second season order already.

And since I now have Amazon Prime, I started THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE last night and was blown away by how good it is! GREAT show.

I personally really loved Jessica Jones and Daredevil - Defenders was alright too, but I hadn't watched Luke Cage or Iron Fist (which I don't intend to watch) so I may have gotten more out of it had I done so.

They're slow burners though as Worry says, but I feel they're worth sticking with.

Ugh I've completely given up on them. DD S1 was pretty good. JJ S1 was OK but that was mainly cos David Tenant is ace. JJ herself is just whiny. LC S1 was really good until about halfway through. Then it took a dive in quality. IF S1 was terrible but I made it through DD S2 was still ok but that was mainly due to The Punisher being in it. Defenders was abjectly terrible and I didn't finish it.

None of them were superb. Don't mind a slow burn at all but they just drag on the whole. Too many other good shows to watch to bother any further.

Friend and I once said they'd all be improved by condensing down by three or four episodes - JJ in particular could probably benefit from that.

You should watch them Ando. Some really cool stuff and it's neat to connect things as you have been watching over the yrs for us that have done so. I would highly recommend to watch each season in release order though and not character order!!!

On Ep 1 of LC2

Gah... on principle i really want to watch these, but DD S1 so utterly lost my interest (by ep 3 i was ff'ing everything about Foggy n Karen, most of the Kingpin's love story, chunks of non-DD Matt) that i haven't had the motivation to venture back in vs other shows.

DD season 2 is the ONLY season of Marvel TV on Netflix truly WORTH watching (and most of that is due to the utter excellence of the Punisher storyline). Everything else is middling-fine (LC & JJ S1) to outright bad (IF S1 & Defenders).

I maintain that LC would have been an amazing show if they hadn't

Spoiler

killed off the really cool bad guy and replaced him with a pretty lame one

part way through the season...

Absolutely agreed. That's my biggest problem with it.

Although I did enjoy season 1 of Punisher as well.

By now I thought we were the only ones watching this show. Really fascinating concept. I and my daughter have looked up more about what actually did happen in and after WW2 because of this show. S3 drops in November or December, I believe.

Indeed.

Bashed through 4 more episodes last night and I'm really finding it excellent.

Also, who knew Burn Gorman was in this show minus his Welsh accent, and with a penchant for imitating Marshall Dammers from THE FRIGHTENERS and severed finger collection?

Calm down calm down like.

Also, from where i sit, you're both a pair of southern fannies.

That's a bit sexist.

I started watching Jack Ryan on Monday, I finished it yesterday. It's top quality TV. Definitely recommend.

Buffy is absolutely awesome!

What should I watch? Man in the High castle doesn't appeal to me.

[Tattersail_]

I watched Good Girls on Netflix and that was a great watch. Enjoyed everything about it.

I watched Unforgotten on Netflix and the acting in that is superb. We watched 3 seasons in 2 weeks. It is all we wanted to watch too.

Going to watch S2 of Ozark when we get round to it.

S1 was enjoyable.

Top, top quality from Amazon Prime.

Possibly depending on whether you liked Stranger Things, we found the German show Dark to be absolutely fantastic.

American Vandal S2 is up.

Damn I still gotta watch the 1st finale episode

I shall definitely be watching S2. I've not seen anything of it but from what I know it's going to be a completely separate, individual story. Looking forward to see what they do with it.

In other news, BoJack Horseman S5 is now out and The Good Place S3 will be here shortly! It's a good month for Netflix!

[QuickTidal]

Started watching the Netflix Original THE DRAGON PRINCE (by LAST AIRBENDER head writer Aaron Ehasz), and damned if it isn't REALLY good so far! Animated Epic high fantasy, with elves and dragons. Loving it.

Finished up American Vandal S1 I was wrong I stopped on Ep 6 not finale.

I am rather disappointed though cause

Spoiler

they never reveal who drew the dicks unless it really was Dylan all along as he drew one on Shapiro's driveway. The had solid evidence that he didn't do the cars though. So who drew the dicks? The girl and her CPR boyfriend? I need to know who drew the fucking dicks!!!

Spoiler

They never say it conclusively (confession), but its totally the girl and her CPR boyfriend.

If anything, they end it more conclusively than a lot of the true crime docs this is spoofing ever manage to.

Watched season 2 and enjoyed it. Not quite as much lol as the first season, but still good times.

Damn man the withdrawal is really kicking in now. No more Paradise till next August. next fix isn't coming till Jan gotta say y'all missed out on some exciting and excellent overblown play by plays these past 5 weeks.........

Started American Vandal S2 and at only 5:51 in of Ep 1 idk how well I will be able to "stomach" this one. I'm cringing in disgust for real.

The worst of it is at the start.
