Binge watched it this weekend while my wife and son were out of town. I had watched the first 2 episodes and liked it but as I watched more of it, I liked it more. There were ups and downs like everything else but I thought it was really well done. I was kind of getting board with Fisk because he was just an evil guy. The last 2 episodes were great. I like how it ended and agree with some that this season we really didn't see the Kingpin. I think next season will be even better as they can just focus on the story moving forward instead of the back stories of everyone (not that they were bad).

I hope the costume looks a little better this year. It looked awful at the end of the series.

Agreed. I wish they had kept it for another season or two. He's not going to look as badass beating the pulp out of baddies/getting the pulp beat out of him.

Totally agree. Or just change the mask. Maybe eliminate the eye holes or something.

Nearing the end of season 1 and I just love Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, very excited to see his transformation into Kingpin.

Just wanted to thank everyone here for recommending this series. I'm 5 episodes in and hooked. It's just so well done.

I watched Daredevil and found it a little slow, but Jessica Jones is amazing. If you're liking Daredevil, I think you'll love JJ.

While I really enjoyed both, how can you think DD is slow in comparison to JJ? Do you mean just in how quickly the story culminates in it's climax? Because the action in DD is obviously much more prevalent, hard-hitting and faster paced.

I think Jessica Jones is more intense and suspenseful, and has a better/scarier villain, but that Daredevil has superior action pieces and is more of a crime show than a thriller like Jones is.

Either way, both are excellent in their own rights!

I agree with silver, I think DD was an action show that had a story to it where JJ was a show with a good story that had some action in it. They were both really good but after a while, the fights got a little less exciting and the lack of story depth dragged it on...it was still pretty amazing though. In JJ the story itself is what kept me going, it didn't need great fights or anything like that because it was well written and had a good story to it.

Netflix has been doing amazing with almost all of their TV shows.

About halfway through DD. It just hasn't grabbed our attention nearly as much as JJ. It's still good but JJ was one of the best shows I've ever watched. I agree the villain was better and likely because David Tennant is simply a terrific actor...another in a long list of fantastic UK performers.

New trailer:



Looks like Punisher is going have a much larger role than I had anticipated.

I am really enjoying the Marvel TV Universe so much more than their movies. I have only remedial knowledge of the comics but these shows have pulled me in. I am very curious how everything will piece together. I am quite excited for season 2 of Daredevil and Jessica Jones as well as Luke Cage. I am also wondering how Punisher and Elektra will tie in, I know Punisher will be getting a show, but is Elektra going to as well? Will they be associated with the defenders series when it debuts?

Also I love Rosario Dawson, so much. The more she is in the show the better.
