Boring may only be an issue for the add-addled under 25 crowd. We'll see. There's also 7 episodes that haven't screened anywhere.

Seems like I'm also reading a lot of "netflix missed an opportunity to go with an asian-american lead". Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but whatever. People were trying to get netflix to do that months before the show was even cast. I guess folks aren't ever going to happy when they don't get their way.

Fuck Marvel. Fuck your comic books, nerds.

Watch out folks, Rudy has a hot take.

Charlie seems to like it. That's a good sign, from my perspective.

I was going to post that. Yeah, he's been pretty spot on as far as things being good.

He did kind of leave it at, well, the next 7 episodes are probably going to be the good part so it won't suck. Plus if they are pissed because they didn't cast an asian dude as the lead, well, that would lend itself to an unreasonably bad rating.

Well, I made it through 5 episodes before crashing and I think it's solid so far. 2nd episode was a little slow, that's my only negative. Way more into this at this point than Luke Cage last year. Really feels like it's ramping up into the second half of the season.

Liking it way more than LC, which I never completed. Lots of complaints about it being slow, but I'm enjoying it... even if it does feel like a Marvel version of Arrow.

on episode 8. it's not terrible, but the glowing hand is silly. why not both hands? why not his feet too? and the asian chic in her yoga pants.....someone needs to tell the whole humanity of women STOP FUCKING WEARING YOUR TIGHTY WHITIES UNDER THEM.

fuckin' hell, wear a thong would ya :-)

It's pretty decent. Better than most shit on TV, even if it isn't as good as Daredevil or Jessica Jones.

Haven't found it boring yet. It is slowly showing and not hitting you with a bunch of exposition off the bat. Also dropping in a lot of comic book stuff. About the only thing that hasn't been name dropped is Yu Ti, even as far as Colleen calling herself the Daughter of the Dragon.

quite anti climactic. cheesy ima badass but want to cry sometimes superhero. not enough carryover from the other series and the soundtrack sounded like it was taken from stranger things (i get, but unoriginal). 6/10

Through episode 10, and pretty disappointed so far. The actor playing Rand is horrible. He's about as graceful as 3 legged hippo. Feels like I'm watching a high school drama club do kung fu theater. The drunken master fight scene was stupid.

Easily the worst of all Netflix / Marvel shows so far.

defo should have had someone different in rands role. the rest of the show was actually decent. when more than two people were fighting, you got the daredevil vibe. but when rand is by himself, he cannot sell a fight scene. too much karate kid in the show. :-)

Finished it yesterday. I'd put it behind DD and JJ, above LC.

It wasn't bad, but there needed to be much less Meacham family drama, much less Rand corporation stuff, much more background and development of Colleen Wing, so her reveal makes more sense, better overall fight choreography and just more stuff about K'un L'un and why Danny left.

All things that can I think be pretty easily fixed going forward. I though they did do a good job setting up season 2.

I'm only on episode 3 or 4


But the guys playing the father/son Meachems are really well cast. Effectively slimey.

The girl playing Joy is smoking hot.

I'm liking it a lot so far.
