[QUOTE="AliasBot, post: 8482790, member: 7021806"] As far as the (MCU, or MCU-adjacent) ones I've seen: 1) Cloak and Dagger. Second season was a bit weaker than the first, and it's possible it might have lost its luster somewhat if it had gone on longer, but on average it was [I]really damn good[/I]. I'm still sad it got canceled, but the fact that nobody else has even brought it up probably speaks to the level of popularity it achieved. ...after that, there's a big drop-off - everything else clocked in at some level of "meh" for one reason or another, so they're all pretty close together. 2) Agents of SHIELD. Had its ups, had its downs. Nearly dropped it once (halfway through season 3), would've dropped it after season 6 if the next one wasn't the last one, but it had stretches where it was quite good - the back half of season 1, parts of season 2, most of seasons 4 and 5. That's enough for it to come out on top of the "meh" pile for me. 3) What If...? It was [I]fine[/I], but it never felt like it delved as deep into the wild possibilities as the premise seemed to imply, so it came off as weirdly flat. I'll be watching season 2 when it releases, so it at least has that going for it. 4) Agent Carter. Season 1 was good, season 2 wasn't - it's been long enough since I watched them that this is more a matter of [I]vibes[/I] than specific details I could confidently point to, but that's the gist. 5) Runaways. This is the point of the list where we hit the shows I never got past season 1 of - in this case, I did [I]mean[/I] to, I just...never quite got around to it. Main knock on it that I can remember was that it felt stretched a bit too thin, trying to meaningfully develop both the kids/heroes and parents/villains. Which is a pity, because I rather liked the development that the kids [I]did[/I] get. (If it got canceled after one season, it'd probably be ranked higher, but "I didn't care enough to keep watching" is too much of a demerit for me to rank it above shows I finished.) 6 and 7) Jessica Jones and Daredevil, which I'm addressing together for convenience's sake. Again, only watched one season of each - when Daredevil season 2 released, I realized I just didn't care enough to invest the time into watching it, and that extended to the rest of Marvel Netflix. Were season 1 of both of these shows compelling? Yes. Were they of good technical quality? Probably. Did I enjoy watching them? In retrospect, not particularly. [/QUOTE]
