Any body else finished watching it? It's so good and for me personally is way above any of the Superhero/Comic tv series.

Watching season 2 right now.
-
I finished it at the weekend. I can't deal with not watching it now. I really hope they do a Punisher series. Some of his scenes are brutal.
-
Watching the Season Two as well. Great show. Nice to see a hero regularly being beauten up :)
-
Wary of superhero tv shows, TBH, after watching a few lacklustre/hackneyed episodes of them. (Flash/Agents of Shield) And I don't get Netflix anyway...
-
Netflix are considering a Punisher series as well. Cracking TV defy not lacklustre at all.

Actually, imho, Netflix has the most interesting superhero tv shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones). No trace of shining heroes at all, nice characters, good stories, very refreshing.
I gave up the Flash/Arrow/Agents of Shield/Super Girl after 1-2 episodes.
-
Agents of shield got marginally better after half a season or so, at least it dealt with the infiltration by hydra a lot with the distrust and double dealing sides making everything tense. But it doesn't come close to anything from netflix. For those who don't know a luke cage series is on its way as well, though like doc said seeing the main hero loose and get beat up a lot is kinda good, not sure how that is going to work for luke.

I would have agreed with you before i watched this. Ive tried most of the shows but always felt they lacked any sort of grit to them and pretty much gave up. With daredevil i couldn't stop watching them and watched them all within a week of starting. The fight scenes are great and story lines are very dark.
Is Jessica Jones any good?

Luke Cage series? That's nice. He's not quite invulnerable though, you know, Jessica was able to knock him out shooting in the head.

Is Jessica Jones any good?
Yes, it's very good. But it takes some time for Jessica to win against the devil (Killgrave) and some innocent people are going to die first. My daugther and me loved the series, my wife left, she couldn't stand the tension any longer :D

I've heard a lot of people say they watch one episode a day, max. It gets pretty tense at at times it does feel like this guy can't be beat, unless somebody is willing to cross the line. Which is pretty high praise I'd say, mind control should be disturbing.

I'll have to check it out :)

I'll consider that a glowing review of Daredevil. :) But shining heroes and lack of grit I can deal with (after 3-4 seasons of GoT I'd welcome it) - it's the wangsting heroes trotting out trite soundbytes (I gave up on Supergirl halfway through the first trailer because of it; it was like Man of Steel in miniature) and oscillating between posturing growls and awkward whedonisms faster than an iHawk. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DdhveixpV24), that get me.
I guess I need to look at a netflix subscription, then.

Blimey, I tried watching it at the start of season three and couldn't stand it...

I said marginally. :D

Daredevil is a great show.
I'm currently watching season 2 and I really like how Marvel is managing their cinematic and TV world.
Unlike DC, both TV and movie heroes evolve in the same world which is pretty cool.
-
Finished it this weekend and loved it.
I'm a huge comicbook nerd and DD is the best superhero series I've ever seen, followed closely by Jessica Jones.
Can't wait to see what they'll do with the rest (Luke Cage, Iron fist, Punisher?).
-
I'll watch/read/play pretty much anything superheroes, even if it's crap (I've seen Dawn of Justice twice already) and Daredevil is one of my favourite heroes, so I may not seem like the best judge, but putting my "Film and Television" graduate hat on for a moment;
Daredevil and Jessica Jones are some of the tightest-written, smartest and best produced television I've ever seen out of the USA. I'd rank them with Twin Peaks and M*A*S*H in terms of quality. They're the best representations of "street-level" heroes since the '90s Batman cartoon. There are no clashing gods bringing down entire cities in their battle, just people beating the hell out of each other. At the same time, the creators have somehow managed to make them feel like part of the broader MCU. When Infinity War hits, I'll have no problem believing that Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage will step up to defend the universe from the mad Titian.

Fingers crossed knight Models do a TV version figure.
-
Lovinv season 2 at the moment, can't help feeing some of the best scenes are the Punisher ones, really hope he gets his own TV show. I actually quite enjoy Agents of Shield as well.
Cheers

Gah.... Now Knight Models are getting into the marvel universe it's probably only a matter of time before I cave in and start a new game system.
Those are some lovely mini's....

Have to chime in too.
I loved Daredevil S1 and 2 was even better to me.
Same for miss Jones. I can only recommend These series.
If they keep up the pace with the upcoming Cage and then the Defenders all is fine.
It is also a very nice gritty contrast to the teenage oriented Flash, Arrow, Supergirl series. These are more like a Superhero telenovela and way to shiny for my taste, I still watch them, but most of the time at 2x Speed... ;)
And since the Punisher was so well received a stand alone series seems very likely!

I like him even more than Elektra and Matt!

Watching Season 2 of DD now, I have watched S1 twice. The second round with my wife, who saw posts about it and got interested. She hated the DD movie (we went on Valentine's day back when came out). We are both slowly watching Season 2 (she cannot binge like I can). She loves Daredevil and seems to also have a liking for the Punisher (loved the movie also). She also loves Deadpool (which may be the best Marvel movie to date).
Netflix has hit a good start, my wife also liked Jessica Jones but failed to understand the layers of depth of the series that the comic was focused on. She is looking forward to JJS2 also. Next up Power Man and Iron Fist, then the Defenders....now with the tease of the Punisher and I heard rumors of an Xmen spin off.
DC is still trying to find their niche, they have done ok with Arrow and Flash, it was a slow boil to get them going and developed. Supergirl may not make a second season (based on what I am reading about renewals so far). Legends has oddly became my favorite of the DCs.

Luke Cage series? That's nice. He's not quite invulnerable though, you know, Jessica was able to knock him out shooting in the head.
I believe invulnerable when it comes to Luke Cage has to do with piercing/cutting thru his skin. The impact of the bullet hitting his head may have been enough to put him into an unconscious state(I didn't watch the show yet...)? He is still susceptible to being injured(especially internally) when hit by something with enough force. This comes to be an issue for him in comics(somewhere) when he has internal damage and docs can't get thru his skin.
I think I may have to sit down and watch. This Hell's Kitchen stuff has an environ more akin to Gotham/DC stuff. Very dirty and gritty from the Comics.

Very much comes up in the series.

*sigh* Adding it to the list of shows to watch! I actually just watched the first two episodes of Daredevil after work yesterday... I am a fan for sure. I like seeing the good guy get his lickings as well as giving them! Very nicely done!
