Anyone checking out this new Netflix Marvel TV series First Fist (produced by Scott Buck, who also did Dexter & Six Feet Under, which are 2 of my favorite TV series)?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0118420/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr2

I finished episode 6 last night.

About the only character I like is Carrie-Anne Moss.

The pace is kind of slow for me. The fighting seems almost slow motion. Overall pretty decent, not as annoying like Jessica Jones or Luke Cage.

But not close to being as good as Daredevil.

I expected more from producer of Dexter & Six Feet Under.

Marvels Punisher is supposed to be released sometime this year 2017. Hope it will be as good as Daredevil. Punisher will be produced by Steve Lightfoot, who also produced the Hannibal TV series, which is good news to me.

I enjoyed it (already binged the whole thing ). I'm not a fan of Daredevil particularly, never got but a few episodes before I just had no further interest; there were aspects of both Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and overall I do like this Netflix driven Marvel universe (altho I wasn't much into the superhero comics as a kid or since). Carrie did score a good character. I love Rosario Dawson generally so nice to see her in here, too and Jessica Henwick is nice to look at, too . I think David Wenham is awesome in this; Tom Pelphrey has some good moments, too.

The martial arts thing overall I think looks good but like so many shows, they rely too much on it and it gets old in general, although at least here it's central to the character's life and not something stupid like in The Matrix movies.

Looking forward to resolving the cliffhangers at the end....

Really enjoyed DD and Luke Cage. I'm on episode 11 of Iron Fist. Danny is stupid and childish. Definitely the weakest Marvel show I've seen.

I think that's just part of his character, the impulsive emotional reactions, we're watching him mature essentially as he finds his purpose and true enemy, etc....

I really liked Luke Cage. I didn't even really intend to watch it, the GF had started watching it, then it sucked me in.

I really liked the music choices and the audio for Luke Cage, very well done, IMO.

Yes I enjoyed the LC soundtrack and inclusion of musical performances. The audio in general for all these have been pretty good, too, I think.

I'm normally not much of a series watcher for most of my life but the ease you can now just watch commercial-free episode after episode and get sucked in without even touching the remote (if you want, I prefer to have it wait for me to touch a button to confirm my acquiescence.... ).

Just finished Watched 1st episode - so far storyline is really weak and hardly believable, but i will probably watch 2nd episode. tomorrow

My wife and I just finished watching Travelers. Season 2 can't come soon enough.

Just finished episode 8 last night of Iron Fist.

This show keeps on annoying me more as it progresses.

Maybe I'm more into violence, but I hate it when characters think "Oh, it's just wrong to kill even the most evil villains who could and would kill a million people if you let them".

That Claire character is just annoying to me.

Annoying.

I know what The Punisher would do.

I binged it in about 3 days. I liked it. It has some pacing issues, but as a fan of the original comics I felt some of it was a nod to the fans. I had a ton of comics when I was a kid. I'm loving these Marvel Netflix series.

I finished Episode 12 last night. I think the story got a little better. I still think the martial arts fighting looks weak and slow - like they're doing ballet.

It seems the martial arts in Daredevil is a lot faster with a lot more power.

I finished it a couple days ago as well. Definitely the worst marvel show I've seen.

Anyone watching Legion on FX?

Started to but gave it up. Terrible for my taste.

So far we like it as well after the first 3 episodes.

It is a handful and a bit bizarre....but I do like it and some of the effects are pretty cool. Watched all episodes to date.

I enjoy watching Legion.

I think it's a lot more serious/mature and more drama than any other Marvel shows, except for maybe Daredevil.

Wait. I think Iron Fist is pretty lame. But I don't think it's any more lame than Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, which do nothing but shove and push bad guys around - the most lame fighting scenes in the world.

BTW, my 15 YO daughter fights faster with more power than Iron Fist.

Only reason to watch the Jessica's
