Agreed, Killgrave was the best part of the show. Cage works without watching Jessica Jones first, but I think it is better knowing a little about him going in.

 

People are talking!! The world needs to know!

What’s Going on With Gal Gadot’s Armpits in the Wonder Woman Trailer?

 

For the fans of the Marvel Netflix shows, Iron Fist isn't horrible, but it is quite disappointing.

 

Three episodes in and I'm kinda bored. Nothing really drawing me back into it. The action sequences are only kinda ok. There isn't really a great character I'm intrigued by. I am mostly curious how a rich kid who has been gone for 15 years would prove to everyone in his family's company that he is actually who he says he is.

 

That issue goes on for a while.

 

New Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer.

 

Awesome. My kid loved it.

Is anyone else watching "The Expanse" on SyFy? I've just found it, and holy shit is it good. Set in the asteroid belt with the solar system colonized, Mars and Earth on the brink of war. Best TV SF I've seen since Firefly.

 

Jessica Jones is damn good, period. It starts a little slow, but you have to get the foundation laid. Kilgrave is an absolutely outstanding villain, amoral, powerful, twisted, and Tennant is dead perfect for the role. I would agree, do JJ first and then Luke Cage. You don't have to, but it scans better if you do it that way.

edit - (spoiler) Several iterations down the line you might have heard of the character, as she eventually becomes known as Alias.

 

Alias was the title of the comic book, but not her character's name. She called her detective agency Alias Investigations.
