So am I the only one who thinks Shirld is ok or is the Internet just being the Internet?

It does have very good stunt work for a TV show. Hell, one random fight in the show is better choreographed and better shot than anything in the Nolan Batman films.
Okay is how I feel about it as well. It isn't horrible, but it isn't that good either.
I know SHIELD is super goofy and it's unfair to compare to Arrow.
But I really want to see Marvel try to pull off a show like Arrow. Cause Arrow is kind of amazing. Marathoned it in a weekend after just checking out an episode. Had no idea how good it was.
Wondering if Daredevil would be able to touch it.

Super exciting news really hyped to see the lead actors for each role.
It's not amazing, but it's not the worst TV show either. It's fun enough. It was the kind of show that was never going to become massively well loved, though. Expectations were too sky high given it was Marvel's first big TV effort in their Cinematic universe. Given it's focused on a bunch of new characters didn't help that fact. The only way it could have worked is if the writing was super, super sharp, which it certainly isn't.

If they're going to do phases like the movies, I'm sure he's on the next wave. I think they just want to get ahead of Avengers 3 and develop as many heroes for Thanos to stomp on.
No they don't. We're already going to watch regardless. They need to appeal to people who don't know them.
It's $8.I'm going to be forced to get Netflix now it seems. Damn you Disney for finally playing the Luke Cage and Jessica Jones card (please tell me they're still married in the comics).Unless these will get dvd releases.
Just pay for 1 month and watch everything. I do that whenever a show comes out i really want to watch.
House of Cards and Orange is the New Black? Totally worth paying $8 to watch.

This is what I dreamed Arrow could become.
Instead, we get the Flash.

It's brilliant. The entire show is like much better than it has any business being. I have to catch up with the latest episode, but S2 has been on fucking fire so far.
Shop it to HBO. Base it on Frank Castle's MAX series. Done.
Haven't watched that one actually, but I might after some of the comments here.

Probably yah. I bet the next "TV Phase" is Blade, Ghost Rider and Punisher with a Midnight Son miniseries to top it off.
Personally, if Punisher returns, they need the #DIRTYLAUNDRY guys.
If this relationship with Netflix works out, they won't need HBO. Netflix would be just as willing to do the gritty violence that Punisher needs as HBO.

So awesome. I can't wait.
A. Of COURSE it will part of MCU
B. I guess the theories people had that Skye from SHIELD might actually BE Jessica Jones, or that the dude from the pilot might be Luke Cage are now busted. Of course then again, I guess they still could be.

Would they? I can't say I'm completely familiar with their standards.

Yeah, they're pretty even with HBO in terms of violence, swearing and nudity.
For sure. Netflix's stated goal right now is to become HBO before HBO becomes them. That high budget, adult focused programming is their main target right now. As for the violence, as bad a series it was, Eli Roth's thing with them Hemlock Grove was pretty violent from what I've heard.

Google Orange Is The New Black. Lots of naked lesbian sex. Netflix ain't scared.

I want to see a different take on him. I'd point to The Dead Can't Be Distracted but they got C&D'd. I liked what the director had to say about the Punisher on this podcast.
We think Skye is Jessica Drew, not Jessica Jones.

I've been hearing about Jessica Jones or Luke Cage shows forever, and now we're getting BOTH. Plus Daredevil and Danny fucking Rand?!?

Another upcoming Netflix show, Sense8, is said that it will feature "amazing stunts that no one’s done before" [on TV?]. Hopefully Netflix can pull it off in both cases.

The latest episode was actually pretty decent. I think Agents of SHIELD may be one of those shows that require some time till their find their own way. Also, it's obviously very comic-booky, as in having a lot of cheese and slapstick moments, whereas Netflix got some rather gritty heroes (JJ's backstory in particular is kind of messed up).
Watch DC counter with a HBO/CW anouncement.
S.H.I.E.L.D has been a disappoinment for a lot of people while Arrow has gone to another level in its 2nd season for them. That said the ratings are telling Marvel that things are going well, so lets double down.
In any case, I'm on board.
Hey, that guy was way better than Ben.

Daredevil on TV has worked so well in the past

To my 10yr old self when I 1st saw it. I need to rewatch to know.

This is great news! I am really looking forward to seeing these. Additionally, if it weren't for Netflix getting the first season of Arrow I never would have watched it. My wife and I watched the first episode and then promptly marathoned the rest of them. Now we watch it every week. More superhero stuff is always welcome!

I don't really know who I'd want to play him, mind. Taye Diggs?
