    Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck he´s on about either...
    ´Not bad´ is exactly what it is.
    Although I find myself easily distracted from it, time to time...looking on my phone, sending texts, etc :lol:

    Stranger Things - couldnt wait for each next episode, and that´s coming from someone who is a) impatient about such stuff and b) ultra-critical of it anyway :lol:

    This was my first-ever experience of Luke Cage:

    Yeah, Stranger Things had me hooked from episode one. Luke Cage, not so much.

    For some reason, Stranger Things has gone ballistic here in Brazil....but no-one seems to know why.

    Probably a teenager-Instagram thing...

    The kids are cool and funny. They remind me of the Goonies.

    I remember that one. Spiderman fucked his ass up big time.

    Also I binged watched Stranger Things at a friend's house. I thought it was okay but by the 6th episode I was at the point of just wanting the series to hurry up and end which is not something I would feel about a show I enjoy.

    I plan to check out the Luke Cage show eventually, but I know it's not going to be my type. I would have loved that kind of show back when I was a kid in the 80's who caught every single episode of the Incredible Hulk tv series, but these days I can't get into this kind of stuff unless it's in a serious movie format. I just don't think the story and characters will be deep enough to hold my interest while I wait for the rare watered down tv version action sequences.

    Watched the first episode. It was good, but unlike 'Daredevil Season 1' I did not got me all excited about it. You guys keep bringing up 'Stranger Things' like it is the greatest thing on tv. It is good, but not great. I am not pumped to watch season 2 to be honest. It should had ended there as a nice retro-miniseries, but season 2 will probably kill whatever good feelings you got from the first season.

    I watched LC too and found it a lot better than I thought I would. Some real actors in this along with good dialogue and story. There's also nice nudity and sex and of course I could really relate to the urban angle it has. I think I'll follow through and may even check out Daredevil too.

    I agree about Stranger Things and probably won't watch the second season.

    I loved LC and DD is even better. You should really watch them in Order, because they will all be teaming up soon.

    it Goes in this order. DD, Jessica Jones, DD Season 2, LC, Iron Fist.

    These are not kids shows. These are adult TV MA shows. Written very well.

    They will toss every Netflix Marvel character into The Defenders (which honestly is a far cry from the Defenders team from the 70s: Hulk, Doctor Strange, Namor and later other less famous members joined).

    So just finished this. Better than I was expecting, weaker than Daredevil but on par with Jessica Jones. I'm sure a lot of this goes over my head as I'm not entrenched in Harlem mythos but the scenes with other people wearing bullet riddled hoodies in solidarity was excellent. Some great musical cameos, Meth drops a great rap and Raphael Saddiq can still sing with the best of them what's not to like?

    The main villain. He appears towards the end of the season. Straight up worthless and goofy as hell. Should have stuck with Cottonmouth and kept Diamondback in the shadows.

    So it's just ok for me. The theme song is the tits though. A great track with a real 70s feel.

    I didn't finished watching it after a few episodes and "Iron-Fist" I stopped watching after two episodes.

    Ditto, Luke Cage, but for my sins, I ground-out Iron-Fist untl the bitter end: it looked like early-to-mid season it might really improve but it completely fell apart around Ep7

    So-so, with Daredevil 2nd season except Jon Bernthal as The Punisher was the obvious standout.
    Daredevil was weak as fuck in this season and the Elektra character was such an annoying cunt, I wanted to kick the TV in at parts...

    I've finished all of them. Iron Fist was the weakest.

    Luke Cage was good....had the edge on Jessica Jones which I enjoyed too. Second season of Daredevil is still the best one so far though

    Daredevil season 2 was more comicbookish and thus less entertaining. Like Magus I too hated Elektra. When you find yourself in your mind missing Jennifer Garner, you know this Elektra plain sucks.

    I thought Daredevil 2nd run started fine.

    Then Murdock totally lost his balls everytime Elektra turned up.
    Like, FFS man? Deal with this smart-ass bitch and get nasty.

    I thought Stick was a fucking asshat too - doesn't help that Scott Glenn annoys me either...
