As far I know, it's being released on the 20th Nov, which is this friday. Depending on what part of the world you're in.

Looking forward to it.

Couldn't wait until tomorrow.

Just watched the first episode. Solid opening. Nothing spectacular in terms of super powers on display, it's all relatively subtle.

That ending though.

Well, I saw something coming from a mile away, but certainly not that.

And no, QuickTidal, I don't work because I've got a broken arm in my brain.

Well, I'm just jealous of those who get to watch the show already. Hope you're enjoying.

I was planning to watch this tonight, but then I noticed that W/ Bob and David came out last week.

[Serenity]

Watched the first two eps. Took a while to get going but really grabbed hold at the end of the first one.

[A Demon Llama!]

Real dood first episode.

Also, I guess if you misspell good as dood, you get some weird suggestions, none of which are good.

[A Demon Llama!]

Wow, i went back and corrected that d.... with another d. Then posted.

[Gnaw]

I'm a bit disappointed by Tennant's Kilgrave as seen in ep 5.

Spoilered for Dr. Who fans

Spoiler

He's basically just doing "The Time Lord Victorious" from "Waters of Mars" without the shouting.

Halfway through ep 3. I'm not really feeling it so far. DD was much better at this time in to me.

After watching the ending of episode 3 are you telling me you didn't feel it?

However I am past episode 4 and I suspect that this show is not going to ramp up in the way I wanted from a super hero show and Killgrave is not the antagonist I wanted.

Spoilers up to episode 4:

Spoiler

After the first two episodes introduce PTSD, paranoia, panic attacks, etc. I was expecting something more psychological, something more sinister than what they have been showing. I mean it's there but like Daredevil it's all shallow.

They start the show out with showing Jessica refusing to get close to people because she is afraid for their lives and because she thinks/knows she is a bad person. But episode 3-4 turns this around it's too proactive and Killgrave is way downplayed.

I thought everything would be playing into this spider web of mind controlled people, a whole city in danger, some master plan where he's making himself a kind of shadow king or something.

So far he's just a sadistic spoiled asshole. Like a upper-class sociopath squandering the super power trust fund. Pretty disappointing.

Oh come on, episode 7:

Spoiler

He's standing right there. Right in front of you. Reach out and snap his neck!

[Aptorian]

Episode 9: Well that went about as well as could have been expected.

Honestly, there's nothing particularly wrong with this show. It's well written, well acted, good to great cinematography, high production values over all.

I just don't like the story at all. It's unambitious, it's not very deep and I hate the choices the characters make.

EDIT:

Spoiler

I remember those red, blue, white pills from a daredevil story. A super soldier programme abused by the Kingpin.

Where the hell is that going...

I just binge watched up to the end of Ep 7.

Ignore Apt, it's good.

[Aptorian]

Finished the season. Ultimately I don't know what to think of the show. I think Jessica Jones and the rest of the cast makes for a great show. I just think the story lacked power.

The stuff that happens in episode 9-13, should have happened in episode 3-6 and then it should have ramped up incrementally. But I also thought the same of Daredevil and Agent Carter.

I am on Episode 7 and I am enjoying the show. I think I like it more than Daredevil. Its great to finally see some "problem" that doesn't revolve around "saving the world" or "saving the city" generic bullshit. The main villain, even with a stupid ass name (might as well name him "John Badguy") is just doing everything for himself. His motives are pretty damn reasonable to understand. Nothing too ridiculous or over the top. He is an egotistical guy because of his powers that can control anyone, but failed with Jessica Jones and now is obsessed to control her, to prove something to himself. Pretty simple, and it works.

[Nicodimas]

I am enjoying the pacing of the show really, I really like the speed and if it just speeds up from this point it will be a Win.

4 episodes in.

My only complaint is not a super huge fan of Ritter, not sure she can carry a show. Well I should state their are very few supplemental characters in my eyes...

We will see. Just finishing episode 4.

[Binder of Demons]

Just finished it and I must say I'm kinda underwhelmed by it overall. I found Daredevil to be more satisfying.

The choice of badguy in this was a good one to render almost useless the abilities of super strong characters, but in general there was just too much bad decision making going on to really enjoy it (mostly because some of those crap decisions seem like just means to get out of a plot problem).


That being said, there were bits of it I really liked, and I am especially interested to see how/when they start doing more link ups with Daredevil, and ultimately The Defenders.
