I'm a sucker for Egyptian mythology and not only does it do it well it manages to be somehow apolitical.

Given the Marvel franchise takes on politics this is a good thing.

    I really liked the mystery in the beginning, and the reveal at the end, but the middle episodes were all kind of a blur to me.

    Daredevil was the only capeshit I'd call really good, but this one had its moments too.

      Beyond the first season, though? I liked Daredevil at first but when the started introducing the weird orientalist stuff I lost interest.

        The ninjas were a low point, but the Punisher court room drama in season two was still cool, and season three was probably the best.

        But yeah the ninja stuff really wasn't great.

          Oh yeah, I forgot about the Punisher stuff. I guess I did like season 2 after all. What happened in season 3 again? Was that before or after the whole "Defenders" debacle? I think that was what truly put the nail in the coffin for me.

          I also enjoyed The Punisher in spite of all the hoorah military stuff. Jessica Jones season 1, too, and the first half of Luke Cage before the entirely forgettable big bad is revealed. For some reason all of the Netflix Marvel shows fell apart really quickly. I guess they just rushed to get more content out while the cape trend was still hot.

            I skipped Defenders because I never watched the other shows, and my friends told me it was bad. Didn't take too long to catch up with Daredevil season 3 though.

            It's another Fisk season, with a version of Bullseye that isn't terrible. I really really like how the show did Kingpin.

      I will always stand by Winter Soldier. The plot was "Actually Obama's drone program is bad and did you know that America's intelligence services are full of Nazis?"

        I mean it's "Nazis infiltrated" and not "Nazis were welcomed in with backpats, whiskey and cigars" so it still makes it sound more antagonistic than it really was
