I should definitely lower my grade for this from a fucking C+
I basically hated it upon reflection. It was boring, the acting was awful aside from Rosario Dawson, and it took forever to get through.

Has anyone started/finished the new Netflix/Marvel series? I am three episodes into it. Liking it so far, but damn, it is slow. I realize that it is building up to something, but still. I like the blaxploitation angle. Though Cottonmouth is too similar a villain to Fisk. |

I've watched the first two so far. It's decent but a step down from "Jessica Jones" for me thus far. |

I finished this yesterday and while I liked it overall it's a significant step down in quality from Daredevil and even a bit below Jessica Jones. I have definitely warmed up to the Luke Cage character though and I'm still hyped for The Defenders. |

This show is boring. On episode 7 now. Every time it gains momentum it just...stops. |

Erik LaRay Harvey is the worst Marvel villain ever. His performance is so over the top and the character is stupid. His costume in the finale makes him look like a glorified Power Ranger. It makes sense they wanted to advertise Mahershala Ali's character and keep this one a secret because he is such a better actor and his character was actually interesting. Diamondback fucking sucks. |

Good God, I am at episode 9 now. It is probably the slowest, yet still well-made series I have ever seen. I mean the production values are great, I like the actors, but this draaaaags and draaaaags and I'm afraid that is not gonna get any better. Diamondback just seems to lame. |

Mike Colter, Mahershala Ali, Alfre Woodard and especially Simone Missick are pretty good. |

Mahershala Ali and Alfre Woodard are good. Simone is not. Her character sucks. Misty Knight is the worst. I like Mike Colter on "Jessica Jones" but he wasn't nearly as charismatic on his own show, which surprised me. |

I've been enjoying this through 7 episodes, but knowing there's another 6 after the Cottonmouth twist a real drag. I like Mariah but not as a main villain. |

Looking back, Cottonmouth is set up well, but turns out to be such a non-factor as a villain. |

Still haven't seen this thanks to all the remarks about it being slow and boring. A shame as I was looking forward to it. |
