[QUOTE="tyrlaan, post: 6909294, member: 20998"] I really enjoyed the show. Like, [I]really [/I]enjoyed it. To clarify, I've liked all the Marvel Netflix series to date, probably ranking DD season 2 the lowest (which I won't go into since it's arguably off topic). Ultimately I can't decide if JJ or Cage was the better show, but I think I still put DD season 1 on top. One of the things I really liked is that there are a lot of shifts in the story that I didn't expect. Not necessarily surprises per se, but just unexpected changes from a meta perspective; things most shows wouldn't consider doing (if that made sense). Also, the show felt like a complete synthesis of all of its components in a way I don't think the other shows did. For example, the music didn't just fit the scenes but rather molded, framed, or was fused with the scene. The show itself seemed to ease into itself in a way reminiscent of the vibes the music style it leaned on exudes. I feel like the show could easily have been seen as slow, but instead it just felt comfortable in taking its time and being interesting along the way. All the characters were strong, as seems to be par for the course in Marvel shows now. Some of the incidental characters were poorly acted, but overall stellar performances. I really liked that, despite being presented with gangsters again, it wasn't just a Kingpin rehash. Cottonmouth and others were their own people with their own motives and stories, etc. I won't say anything else since I want to honor the 'no spoilers' tag on the subject line! (though we may have strayed slightly from that in this thread already) [/QUOTE]
