Maybe Arrow season 1 gave some of those show a run for their money, but I have to disagree wholeheartedly with everything you posted.
Not even a mention of Agents of Shield? For shame

OK, I liked Arrow S1 and S2...watched up through most of S4. Obviously I haven't watched S5, but after the shit that was 3, and the complete shit that was 4, I simply cannot see how 5 could be better (as a lot of the shit was provided by the main characters, and I guess those haven't changed?).
As for Flash, it's fun, but it's light and goofy. A step above Supergirl. And then the leads were hit over and over with the idiot stick and the whole thing became painful to watch.
And LoT? Honestly? I commend anyone who can make it through season 1 of that show, and I've watched every episode.
Now, I'm a huge DC fan, which is why I've allowed myself to suffer through most of these shows, but there is NO way that any of them stand up to the best that Marvel's put out.

Flash S1 is amazing, y'all are haters
Flash S1 was a blast, a lot of fun, but it was also on a different level than the stuff found in DD or JJ.

I've heard RZA is directing one episode.
As bad as Man With the Iron Fist was, i trust RZA enough to at least make it visually stylish and cool, so there is that.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yeah I'm gonna say you'll be pretty on your own with that opinion
Nope. Flash S1 is top tier. Marvel hasn't produced a villain as good as Reverse Flash.
First 7-8 episodes are pretty bad, but the show really takes off with The Man in the Yellow Suit.
I'm not sure why people are so down on the second and third seasons either, it's still a pretty fun, funny, charming show.
Kilgrave is at least as good if not better.

I wish Marvel shows were even longer. I want full 22 episode seasons.
Yup, S4 just solidified that. Legion has also been amazing thus far.

DD season one was godly
after that it was all downhill. DD s2 was underwhelming, JJ was too long and Luke Cage for me was plainly unwatchable.

Yup, S5 is easily the most consistent season since S1/2. Plus it has the MVP Wild Dog.

Also I'm seeing people say some mess about the MCU Netflix joints...
Maybe if people stopped binging shows in two days you would be able to actually enjoy that shit. Not everything needs to be binged.

Not on any level.
DD S1 was great, but faltered on the last episode.
DD S2 and Luke Cage both have excellent first halves, then goes to crap in the second half (Luke Cage moreso than DD S2)
Jessica Jones has a great premise and villain, but everyone is so stupid that it becomes a frustrating watch. Plus JJ's powers seemed to differ from episode to episode, which bugged the hell out of me.
Not happy that Iron Fist looks crappy from the start. But the previews were really really bad, and that's after great hype-building trailers from all the other shows. The fact that Iron Fist's previews are so tepid and uninteresting tells me that the people who make the trailers don't have much to work with.
And do we really need ANOTHER superhero who inherited a billion dollar business?

Arrow S5 honestly might be better than it ever has been.
fuck. ben from reaper is in arrow? i don't really want to start watching it but he's awesome :/
Not sure if sarcasm, but heck no! The Marvel shows suffers from dragging on for too long.

Yep the current season of SHIELD is my favorite comic live action show ever
It really is a good and fun show in its current season though.
The best comic book shows have for me been Agents of Shield S2 and S4, Gotham S2 and S3, The Flash S1 and Daredevil S1.

He is legitimately the most enjoyable character on the DC shows at the moment.

He is actually better than I was expecting.
Wild Dog just too good, New Canary working her way up quickly however.

Raggy was better than expected despite him looking too much like Prometheus early on.
Still doesn't stack up to GOAT-dog

LOL I think the idea of a billionaire super hero who's benevolent to the common man, so much so, that he's willing to risk his life daily in order to save them is like the Whitest thing ever.

We now have a unified theory of how this got made and how Trump became President.

Impressions in the OP just reaffirms that Marvel's TV division kinda coasted by on the strength of the 'Cinematic Universe' branding. It's the only way I can see someone saying that Iron Fist is Marvel TV's first misstep when Jessica Jones and Luke Cage also exist.
Now I'm kinda dreading even starting this show since Jessica Jones and Luke Cage both sucked.

Neither can just rip off their animated material besides for their movies.
Ghost Rider & Daredevil are the only legitimate characters Marvel has been allowed to use for tv.
What exactly can they copy with those 2 characters?
Marvel's problem is AoS finally broke their constraints this season,
Meanwhile besides Daredevil Netflix series are starting too look too constrained for where they are building to.
Only in the most pants-on-head stupid way. Also, if people are complaining about fight scenes in Iron Fist they haven't seen anything in Legends of Tomorrow.
