      Editing … Ugh, Arrow. Only got through half of the first episode. Made me mad, trying to cram way too much too soon

      Editing … I've got mixed feelings on the Arrowverse. The Flash is great. Arrow's good in season 1, quite good in season 2 and then it's all downhill from there. Legends of Tomorrow's mediocre from the beginning.

      Editing … As for the Marvel TV shows, I think Daredevil's the best comic book show out there. Jessica Jones is great too as long as you're okay with it being pretty dark/twisted for a comic book show. Luke Cage is well made but not my thing. Iron Fist is mediocre.

      Editing … Agents of Shield's the weird one. It's mediocre and rides on the novelty of tying into Marvel until midway through season 1 and then it starts to get good. By season 4 it's actually great.

      Editing … I watched two episodes of Daredevil. Kinda liked the first, was bored by the second. I watched the first minute of The Flash. When the Mom was telling the kid that he had a good heart I was like "WTF Kiki's Delivery Service BARELY got away with this shit, this is live action, you can't have dialogue like that!"

      Editing … The tone and acting in the Flash reminds me of Power Rangers without the kitsch. Plus it gets so frustrating to see Barry struggle to take down characters he could render unconscious before they have time to blink. And where are they expecting all those supervillains they're imprisoning to poop? The show just constantly needles you with these issues and breaks your suspension of disbelief. If people just mostly said "Hey, it's a pretty good family friendly adventure show," I'd just shrug and say "Okay, sure." But instead I hear "THIS IS THE BEST TV SHOW OF THE YEAR! BEST SUPERHERO SHOW EVAR!" Just.... wut?

      Editing … Daredevil's probably the best comic book show but I get a lot of joy out of the Flash because it's charmingly outlandish. All the other live action adaptations try to make themselves a bit grittier/more realistic than the source material and then there's Flash being unashamedly comic bookish.

      Editing … I certainly get why people enjoy it. I wish more properties were balls-to-the-wall zany like it is. I keep hearing rumors about a Spider-Verse movie where they crossover Holland, Maguire and Garfield and possibly others, and despite how crazy and wild and awesome that sounds, the Flash has already kind of done it. Probably the best thing about Guardians of the Galaxy is that it's the kind of setting where a talking raccoon can be a badass antihero, and I'm hoping Thor Ragnarok is similarly wacky. But being ambitious and original doesn't necessarily translate to quality entertainment (see Jupiter Ascending) and the Flash for me has far too many lame aspects to understand the "ZOMG best show ever and everyone should watch it!!$#@!!!" levels of praise.

      Editing … My experience with Daredevil was the same as Egg's. I was so bored by the opening episodes I gave up on the show. Now that I've given it another chance, I'm enjoying it again. It definitely picks up after it's mediocre beginnings. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D performed better on my second viewing. I'm looking forward to getting back into it. I hated the first episode of Arrow first time round too, so I am hoping that picks up also.

      Editing … The Punisher arc at the beginning of Daredevil season 2 was great but after it started to focus on the Hand and all the really vague "black sky" threats it wasn't as good. Season 1 was great throughout but I actually thought the first couple of episodes were the best.

      Editing … The Flash kind of reminds me of Doctor Who, charmingly zany, full of techno babble and it keeps challenging your suspension of disbelief.

      Editing … I wasn't over the moon for S1 because I wasn't as gooey for Wilson Fisk as everyone else, and in large part it felt like a retread of Batman tropes which I really need a break from. S2 also had a lot of Batman parallels but Matt felt a lot more fallible in way that wasn't just origin story stuff to establish his character. I also liked the supporting cast of S2 a lot better, whereas the only characters in S1 I much cared for were Matt and Claire. I particularly liked Matt getting approval from his mentor in the S2 finale. It was probably the closest thing any of these Netflix series have gotten to touching.

      Editing … Doctor Who probably has some of the most inconsistent quality of any show currently on the air. The Flash has never hit the highs of DW, though I don't think it's ever sunk to the lowest lows either.

      Editing … Yeah I didn't like season 4 of Who either, glad I'm not the only one. The quality of Doctor Who is really inconsistent, but that's actually true of a lot of shows I like. Buffy and Pony are both all over the place.
