My only complaint is that I am overwhelmed by content. I spend at least 10 minutes trying to find something to watch. I wish they had a channel surfing mode with different genres playing random stuff at all times.

It's got all seasons of all Star Trek series. What more do you need!

Nice Year 1 take. Basically a working class Batman.

The fight choreography is good. The episode two (i think) hallway fight against 10 or so guys captured the comics character better than the movie ever did. No magic punches that knock the bad guys out with one blow. Bad guys get up. They keep coming. Fighting and getting hit in the head make heroes groggy, weaker, etc.

Vincent D'Onofrio is also pretty compelling as Kingpin. Can't say the people he associates himself with seem all that relevant or interesting.

The actor playing Foggy Nelson is the only bad misstep to me.

Absolutely agree. Just finished episode 2, and I really liked the hallway battle.

Hope more fights like this and less like the one vs the asian guy in episode 1. Was just over the top martial artsy .

I thought the show was excellent. Good acting. Good story. Good fight choreography. I don't think one has to be familiar with the comic book to enjoy this show. I also think it was a good homage to the comic book character.

I'm about halfway through. It's pretty good. Not great, but clearly the best superhero TV show there's been.

I think The Flash is a very good show on CW. Arrow is good as well, though I think this current season is the worst of the 3. If you haven't seen them and are into super heroes, they're both worth a watch. Smallville was also pretty good for its era, but it isn't on netflix anymore for some reason.

CW seems to be putting out some good, solid shows these days. i do wonder if "the 100" is going to come back as like the "the 78 left" or something like that.

as for daredevil, glad i kept netflix. solid beginning, introduce mentor, get some medical help, he bleeds, and overall, i'm enjoying the series.

Anyone else having trouble hearing Matt Murdock speak? The actor doesn't seem to be projecting enough.

Just finished 2nd episode.. I already jumped this show to 3rd place in my book. The fight scene in the hallway was perfect..not too much ridiculous crap..the bad guys actually put up a fight. Nicely done!

Does anyone else think the actor playing Daredevil looks like Tony Romo or am I just a crazy person?

Yeah, I thought he looked like Romo as well. He is a sort of a daredevil.....

Really pleased with the show: LikedDaredevil when I was a kid, but felt the writing faltered and was inconsistent. The show handled things very well.

Just finished watching season 1 and it was pretty good, definitely better than the movie. Curious to see where it goes next season.
