[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6763813, member: 1125"] I'm liking it and will happily claim it is probably the best TV show on any network at the moment. I like that the superhero bit is understated and it is very much a character study exploring the lives of an ensemble of broken people coping in the dark underbelly of NYC. AT times it is a bit slow paced and the action a tad lame. although I think that is appropriate in the circumstance and does well to differentiate JJ from the more sanguine DD. The psychological tension is palpable and Tenant makes an awesome villain. Its not recognisably comicbook and if it wasnt for the regular nods, one wouldnt even know it was connected to the Marvelverse. However we do get lots of Avengers references and a Jewel costume and call out in episode 5. As PurpleDragon points out, super-enhanced banging is a thing, its raw but not crass and the only 'nudity' so far has been a male buttcrack. I'm not sure why the Jerri affair is there though, but its good to see a major gay character (yeah sure I like hot lesbians, but I am hoping theres more to it than either titilation or a girl-power statement :P). Of course the show also deals with obsession and rape but thats been lowkey too and I'm interested to see how well it is handled. The formation of Jessicas team is a refereshing take when compared to Arrow and The Flash - the police guy is a bit too Punisher-like to me though but I like that Luke Cage has a major role and that Patsy Walker is already acquiring the combat skills she needs to make the superhero role call too Anyway going to sleep now will watch more when I awaken [/QUOTE]
