[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6844525, member: 177"] I have to admit that the Flash, Arrow, Gotham, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow aren't on my viewing list. I tried two episodes of Gotham, and just couldn't get past how it means most of Batman's villains are 20+ years his senior. I'm told by folks whose judgement I trust say that LoT is *bad*. I have friends who swear by Arrow (but it sounds very much like a standard CW relationship drama, but with some superpowers. Not sure I want to bother.) I have heard good things about the Flash, and intend to give it a go at some point. On the fence about whether I care about Supergirl. As for what I do watch... Jessica Jones was probably the most impactful superhero drama I've ever seen. Daredevil is not far behind, and I'll continue watching the Netflix shows based on those, even if they did miss an opportunity in their casting of Iron Fist. I like Agent Carter. I admit to liking some of Agents of Shield - even if some of the characterization is weak, other bits are strong, and I'm kind of stuck on wanting to know what happens next. But it is low on my list, and I typically save it as my summertime "the wife is out and I want to watch something we don't normally watch together" show. I have watched a couple episodes of Lucifer, and liked them well enough that I'll keep watching a few more. It fits in the "procedural with banter" slot I like to fill. I am not sure it qualifies as "superhero" show. It is more urban fantasy in my book. iZombie, that edemaitre mentioned, is an awesome show. It is, in many ways, what Dollhouse should have been if it were part-comedy and the main actress could, you know, act. I am not sure it fits in the "superhero" genre either, though. [/QUOTE]
