Finally got around to watching Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
I really enjoyed them both. I am glad Netflix stepped onto the superhero stage with such well made tv series. Or net series. Or whatever you'd want to call them.
No more superheroes in tights, rescuing damsels in distress while the whole world crumbles around them. Remember the 1st avengers movie ? How half of the city got destroyed in the process of saving it ? There are numerous references here to that, people who lost their relatives as a result, people who were traumatized.
These superheroes, they bleed. They get confused, lost, sad, dirty and drunk - often at the same time. They are not comic book demigods, they are real people with some extra powers.
Can't wait for the other superhero series from netflix!
