House of Cards S01-04 - 6.5/10

I really feel like you need to rate the first season separately, though.

[Wang Mandu]

Sneaky Pete - 7/10 A little too neat in the end but the con stuff and Bryan Cranston made the show.

Black Sails Season 2 - 6.85/10 Like Spartacus but pirates

Vikings Season 4 pt 2. - 10/10 I love this show no matter how glaring the faults are. Ragnar's sons rule, Blood Eagles rule. I don't want to say much more in case of spoilers.

Also, the current season of It's Always Sunny is amazing. "Look out, fagot!"

Taboo

7.5

[ghost boner]

i keep forgetting to watch that. have all of em recorded too. will defo check out soon

[The Bill]

Whoa! This page! Vikings, Black Sails, and Taboo are all shows I plan on starting soon. Just started Always Sunny this past Wednesday.

I guess the odd one out is Sneaky Pete, but I already watched it. 6/10 can't stand the main guy. He was in the 90's Mod Squad... hated him in that as well.

Mike Tyson Mysteries S2 - 9

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is pretty great. I'm into the 4th season now. Best way I can think to describe it would be as the evolution of Seinfeld.

Daredevil S01 - 5.5/10
Daredevil S02 - 6.5/10

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

There's so much bad about this show. The acting and writing are both so fucking bad and predictable on this show and I dislike most of the actors on top of that. Foggy and Matt both act like they're doing intern work after their first year of acting classes at a community college. There are so many times you know not only exactly what's going to come out of the person's mouth before they say it, but also HOW they're going to say it, what inflection and acting they're going to be using when they say it. Wilson Fisk's vocal hitches are so infuriating; did no one say to him, "hey Vince enough with the fucking bullshit already, yeah ?" The flippy spinny fighting is laughable and stupid and Daredevil really needed Stick to tell him to listen to people breathing instead of their heartbeats when he couldn't hear their heartbeats ? Like heartbeats are more easy to hear than breath and he never would have thought of that Fucking endless streams of utterly useless canon-fodder ninjas..

Despite all my whining, I actually did somehow defy the odds and enjoy watching the show, due to the few redeeming qualities; most everything about The Punisher and his backstory, which I never expected to see executed on film competently let alone nearly expertly, was a real joy to watch unfold as he's my childhood favourite character; Vincent D'Onofrio, despite his truly terrible vocal choices, looking more like The Kingpin made flesh than I would've imagined possible; the writing seeing a marked improvement in the first half of season two (which was shaping up to be a 7.5 or 8/10 season before it became the FUCKING NINJAS show); Clancy Brown !!!; Karen Paige largely sucks but most of the storylines revolving around her are interesting; I actually kind of like how they handle Murdock's love interests and how he struggles with balancing all of the aspects of his life; and all the courtroom drama was awesome and entertaining.

Overall I think the show is poorly executed, but has a lot of fun moments and most of my criticisms are admittedly too harsh for a television comic book adaption, but after getting a handful of legitimately competent movies out of Marvel Studios, my expectations are probably higher than they should be.

The Real Ghostbusters: the entire fucking thing - 10

Jessica Jones S01 - 7.5/10

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this show, which is quite possibly a result of watching it right after Daredevil. It felt like JJ did a lot of things right that Daredevil did wrong, as a show; lot of unexpected turns, decent-to-good writing, good acting performances. The plot was a little shallow and repetitive; I was sick of the villain pretty early on and thought a lot more could have been done with his power to make both him and the show more interesting, Jessica and Luke breaking up like six times throughout the show was eyerolling, and Trish's boyfriend guy just had the most terrible face. Overall, though, quite good.

[FVBTVS]

right now the only show im watching and enjoying is Big Little Lies

[elephants gerald]

guessed the coming twist two episodes in, but yeah enjoying it anyway. those fucking houses

I like crashing

[FVBTVS]

I got theories too!

Kidman is still an absolute monster of a performer

FUCKING NINJAS

The Hand is pretty essential to DD and I really thought it was kind of ballsy that they even attempted it and from what I remember it was about as well executed as it could have been. It's by far the most comic book-y aspect of DD lore and even in the comics, writers have struggled to reconcile their presence with the otherwise relatively grounded tone.

Anyway, I don't know how much of a DD fan you are, but I've read more DD comics than I can count and love the character to pieces, and I was happy with the show. D'Onofrio's Kingpin voice was definitely silly to the point where I couldn't understand why nobody noticed and I was kind of hoping they would strike a better balance between the superhero and the courtroom stuff, but by and large they got it right and it was fun to watch. I really didn't think it was as hackneyed and predictable as you're describing, or at least not significantly more so than your average recent Marvel movie. I dunno.

I had my first experience with the Gilmore Girls last. I feel that I'm owed an apology from a lot of people.

Not much of a Daredevil fan; read some but never in a dedicated way. I'm aware of The Hand and Daredevil's relationship with Punisher and The Kingpin (admittedly, mostly because of following the Punisher) and I get that The Hand playing a part makes sense, but it was like six straight episodes of Daredevil beating up wave after wave of masked ninjas.

That being said, my issues were more to do with pacing, direction, how hacky the writing was (said with full knowledge that this is a show based on a comic book and graded on that scale), and above all the God awful acting. I can't think of an example of any single thing that happened on Daredevil that surprised me, and not a line of dialogue that moved any iota of emotion in me or didn't sound like it was lifted entirely from some Big Book of Cliche Writing. After watching Luke Cage and Jessica Jones I feel so much more justified in the position that the acting in Daredevil was community college level trash that was shot by friends on weekends, but lacking the charm of them actually being friends. If you didn't feel that way, then great ! I'm glad you enjoyed it and were able to get something out of it.

Luke Cage S01 - 7/10

Its biggest sin was that it was pretty cheesy, both when it intended to be and when it didn't, but overall it was still pretty good fun. I sometimes loved the style and how it was so obviously influenced by 70s martial arts movies and blacksploitation, although they do go a overboard sometimes really letting you in on exactly what they're doing; a little too often you feel like they're so excited about what's happening that they can't resist pulling the curtain back too far. The shit with Method Man was especially brutal and egregious. Still, besides those complaints I thought the acting was decent, and lightyears better than crappy Daredevil (besides Diamondback who overdid it), the pacing was excellent, the casting was just fantastic, and they really did a good job of telling the story.

Oh, one other complaint though because I'm generally a person who focuses on the negative, and this is across all the Marvel shows so far: man, these shows are not great at interesting sub-plots. Luke Cage was the best of them on this issue, but generally these shows are at their worst when they're not focused on the main thrust of the plot through the protagonist.
