It's great so far. A bit slow but a necessary buildup because of the story. It's definitely the best thing they've put out in a while.

Do I need to watch the previous one? I watched a season and gave up on that one.

It is not necessary to watch the prior series. The current series offers enough backstory to provide the viewer with enough information to grasp this story.

Plus, the current series does not have plot ties associated solely with the original series. There are subplots connecting it with The Punisher, Echo, etc. Any viewer will not get the full background without watching everything presented in the past anyway.

IDK, if he "gave up" on the series before, I don't see why he'd like it now

Sorry as much as I love Daredevil the marvel superhero ...as much as I adored the Netflix DD version.....but thus far this Disney version of DD is Horrible !

- This is exactly what I feared if Disney took over the Dardevil series ..deeply watered down, and deeply disappointing

- It is so boring and sloooow ...has very, very little fighting action in it,.. and is more of a CSI -like soap opera, with practically zero superhero action ..

- It's slinging conversation spots of WIlson Fisk and Matt Murdock, .
.( spoiler Alert) it's spent almost a whole hour on a homeless guy whose crime was only shoplifting some caramel candy,...
we see nothing of the White Tiger's fighting prowess besides a 1 second video survellance,..
Even the entrance of the Punisher meeting Murdock was whacked ! ...

- If it were Netflix, that meet up again scene between the two would have been an all out fly-kicking brawl between the two..
.The only part that was of interest was the opening scene of the series vs Bullseye..

If you're gonna put up a Marvel Action- Superhero series, and a very popular one at that - Go ahead Put up and fully display the super action on Full display ..
but nope ,,, here's come the dragging diaolgue chatter.. here comes the marriage therapy,... no Dardevil suit .. no dardevil scarf ... no Wilson Fisk action,. no White tiger action
just his alter ego in a " Subway wrestling match " ..

I'm trying to stay with it after 3 or 4 episodes, ..but its really boring the heck outta me. I'm already convinced it's not gonna be anywhere near what Netflix made of it.
In fact it's gonna be just the utter opposite, .. flat, disappointing and a waste of time by Disney. ..and another example of Disney's hands on failure.

Who is watching it? This is definitely not a disappointment so far. No spoilers though for those that want to watch it but haven’t started yet. I just want to hear your feedback on what you think so far.

Episode 4, released this week was off the chain!

What made the 4th episode "off the chain" ..?

Oddly I think it is pretty similar to the Netflix version.

I think the Netflix version did have more fighting. However this one is set up with the premise that he put that part of his life behind him so of course he will not be as active to start off. I have a feeling this is just one of those slow burn series that will pick up later.

I will say though, there were times during the netflix series where it was a bit slow with the action before ramping it up.

I think I liked the Punisher a bit more on netflix, except for the one bad guy who always wore that stupid mask. When watching that again I would fast forward threw most of those slow scenes of him in the hospital or therapy.

 

[CyberB0b]

You didn’t like it?

It was a while back. I remember the fights being realistic and liking that part, but not liking the storyline very much. Sometimes I go back and watch something I didn’t like at first and end up liking it.

What made the 4th episode "off the chain" ..?

Unlike you, I’m on @BrAinPaiNt wavelength in that I view the “slow pace” as a build-up, as he left the superhero behind. I also remember the previous Netflix series as being slow in the beginning.

The 4th seems to have accelerated the pace and i think its going to get a lot faster. I actually loved the Punisher re-introduction at this point in time. Jon’s delivery and acting as the Punisher is dope.

I was actually worried it wouldn’t be as dark.

The only criticism I think is applicable is the slow pace, but like I said, I kind of see that as a necessary consequence.

But I’m not a comic book guy, I just watch certain series

Season 3 of Gangs of London has start.

This show really is brutal.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

The Electric State Just did not care for it much.
Seemed like it had a good budget and two stars in it. But just kind of meh to me

Den of Thieves 2 currently on netflix.
Really liked the first den of thieves. Just could not get into this one.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Decent who done it mini series. Some of it is predictable, some is not.

The setting/location helps make it interesting in a few areas.

Just finished the Recruit on Netflix. I actually liked this series, which doesn't take itself seriously at all. It is an entertaining comedy drama with some good characters and wit. I was a bit disappointed with the final episode of season 2. It was rushed and off the rails at times, but this was still an enjoyable watch.

I understand it was cancelled by Netflix. There will not be a season 3. That's disappointing in a way, but I can understand why. Where does it go after season 2? I supposed they could squeeze one more season out of this if they wanted too, and I kind of wish they would, but I can see that turning out to be too much to pull together and remain as entertaining as the first two seasons.

Netflix promoted Night Agent, which I thought was terrible, but the Recruit was flying under the radar a bit. Netflix should have reversed the way they promoted these two shows. The Recruit is a much better watch. Night Agent was dumb.

I give The Recruit a solid 7.5 out of 10.

I saw one of them got cancelled which makes it tough to commit to it. Why Netflix released both at the same time is weird.

You guys really need to watch Adolescence on Netflix. What great story telling….

I watched it.
Found it a little lacking but was a good story overall.
Always been a fan of Stephen Graham.

I agree about the night agent. Liked the first season but it was a bit of a chore to get through the second season.

Liked The Recruit a little better because of the sarcastic banter.

Love Stephen Grahams work interestingly enough he and Ashley Walters who both star in this are also in that Thousands Blows show on Disney Plus that releases around the same time.
Curious was it the show itself you found lacking or production?
