Radar Love: DAREDEVIL show on NETFLIX

Aw rly? I’m looking fwd to it

Mite binge it this weekend

Allegedly The Big Fight Scene in this one is good. (Episode 4.)

So I assume everyone but me has hopped off the Marvel Netflix train at this point? Bummerz.

This season has finally brought the full-bore, scarily-omnipotent Kingpin we were denied in s1. Bullseye has been pretty well handled, also.

It's sounding very much like the upcoming second season of Punisher may be the end of the Netflix shows, so y'all won't have too much more of this stuff to ignore.

can you watch this season without having watched The Defenders?

i'll get around to it eventually i guess

weird how quickly these things ran out of steam, huh? just way too little story for so many episodes in most cases

yeah, and it was immediately obvious even from DD s1

can you watch this season without having watched The Defenders?

Yeah, as long as you know that everyone thought DD was killed by a collapsing building at the end of that series (he was not actually killed, so sorry 2 spoil), there aren't really any other strong ties.

If nothing else, I'd recommend y'all check out the fight scene alluded to by Ned upthread. It's a dope long take (something like 11-12 minutes) of Matt trying to escape a prison riot that they must've spent forever rehearsing in order to make it look like such an unstructured brawl.

The bulk of one of the late season episodes is a flashback to Karen's pre-DD days in her small Vermont town which goes a long way towards explaining why she seems so goddamn haunted all the time, basically like a little indie film casually dropped into the mix. YMMV as to whether that sounds at all appealing.

(Also this is probably a good place to once again express my surprise in discovering that Cloak and Dagger is actually, imo, at least as good as the best of the Netflix shows.)

yeah the only one of these shows I got into at all was Luke Cage but everything good about that show should've been compressed into a couple tight 8 or 10-episode seasons

i really enjoyed s3 of this tbh

punisher and dd are probably the only good superhero tv shows, and better than a lot of superhero movies

I appreciate how consistently oppressive it's been with the sense that Fisk controls every goddamn piece on the board and, with two episodes to go, there's no clear path for DD & co. to come out on top.

Also appreciate how Matt has mostly just been getting the shit kicked out of him all season with very little that might be considered a win.

I've loved all 3 seasons of DD. Actress playing Karen still the weak link for me (I skipped her solo episode) but otherwise one of the best superhero adaptations, IMHO.

they're good there's just way too much TV and that goes double for superhero stuff. I loved Legion and never even watched S2 of that

I'm about halfway through S3 and really enjoying it so far. Defenders kinda killed my interest in the whole Marvel Netflix thing (didn't bother with Iron Fist) but I'm glad I jumped back in. I completely forgot they even made Punisher until just now!

I watched series 3 about a month ago and enjoyed it. I thought I was coming to it late so surprised that it seems most people are watching it now.
MIght go back and watch the rest of Cloak & Dagger which i got several episodes into. Think other things turned up at the same time or something.
