    I've already decided to bin it. They were never going to top the Punisher stuff and that'll go downhill. All in they've ****ed the whole thing up.

    I finished man in high castle.

    no spoilers for anyone who is still watching but.... hmmmm... too many things that are just not plausible even in a alternative reality suspend your disbelief show. many random happening or plain silly things and pure chance occurrences that add up to such a pile of coincidences as to be bordering on ridiculous.

    But finally its obvious where its going but its very very slow to go there and worst of all doesn't seem to have a good plan of how to get there bar three characters seems to be key.

    That's what I thought, it's superb. Sure I saw someone on this thread not liking it? Film of the year for me, creepy, brutal, great acting.

    Yes, there was someone, but can't remember who. I watched it twice two days on the run. Even better second time around. My youngest thought it was superb as well.

    What you on about. First time we get Kingpin not some emotional whiny Fisk, creation of Bullseye. Ok so Daredevil's story line was a little weak but the rest is good, well aside from the Karen Ep.

    Cancellations are because Netflix knows Disney are going to start asking for more money, knowing Netflix wont pay cause they want them on their own Disney Streaming which starts next year.
    Which whilst a pain in the arse for us who have Netflix, will be good for the MCU as the Defenders will start to have proper links to the films and not vague references.

    Also likely that Iron Fist and Luke Cage wont be coming back as separate shows, will become Heroes for Hire and maybe Daughters of the Dragon

    It's just all very dull and way too slow. I liked Daredevil to start with and Punisher but 2 episodes into new Daredevil and I was bored and decided to get rid of it.

    You watched 2 episodes? 2!?

    Wow, just wow.

    There's a reason there are 13 episodes.

    Giving up after just 2 suggest you weren't really willing to give it a go. Like you wanted to stop before you even started. I mean 2 episodes, c'mon...

    Luke Cage should have only ever been one season. Always going to be downhill from there.

    Not watched Iron Fist.

    Tried watching Jessica Jones a few times but just couldn't get into it. Scrapped it ages ago.

    I loved the first season of Daredevil but struggled with the second season. Not gone back to it since moving house (April 2017)

    Yup... I've struggled to episode 9 or so and it's missing the one thing it was better at than the others which was a right balance of action to narrative.

    I've sat going why is the ****ing build up so slow when we have been introduced to all these characters already ...

    And the action when it comes isn't half as well choreographed as the first series.

    So disappointed

    Edit ok, bullseye needed introduced and the nun I assume bar her identity reveal will have something else than just that.

    Kingpin is good as ever .

    Karen just annoys the tits off me now.

    The FBI stuff is just plain silly in how naive they made them.

    Lol... I really loved the first series ... loved the action in the second.

    I'm sure the last few episodes will probably be great but is it worth seeing the main character mope for most of series in self pity....

    With the imaginary versions of characters for Murdoch to essentially talk to himself ... it literally has felt like one of the ****ter series of Arrow.

    I'll slap both of you for not getting to the end and the Daredevil vs Kingpin vs Bullseye show down.
