Not to sound hyperbolic or anything, but this may actually be the best Marvel property right now. It is right up there with HBO level quality with some excellent writing, acting, cinematography, and fight choreography. It manages to go dark, but not in the teenage angsty sort of way. All of the main player characters feel fleshed out and developed, even the scumbag Russian mobsters have some hint of empathy, and they're straight up shitheads. Wilson Fisk is the best kind of bad guy because you can kind of see where he is coming from, which makes him all the enticing. So far I think I've seen backdoor mentions to both Iron Fist and Luke Cage and I'm only 7 episodes in.

Basically, while I am super excited for Avengers: Age of Ultron, I'm more interested in how that is going to affect the MCU as a whole rather than the story of these characters banding together to face off against an insane robot. When it comes to to the other 3 Netflix series' and The Defenders mini series, that's where I'm actually interested in the stories and fates of those involved.

I read the first sentence, rejoiced, and then stopped. All I need to know is that it is awesome.

I'm a bit torn. I don't want to wait forever to see ep5, but I probably won't be able to stop myself.

I haven't even started it so it'll probably already be on Amazon when I get to it.

The series or the new season? I feel bad for those who haven't seen anything from the GoT series, because I'm certain the internet has already ruined a lot of major plot points, even if you're only an episode behind... unless you read the books of course. In that case you're obviously much better than the the rest of us heathens.

Thanks. I always thought I was, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Well if you had only seen up till Order of the Pheonix, and I told you Snape killed Dumbledore, then wouldn't you be wishing you'd read the books?

Fair enough. Also, curse you for somehow knowing that I've read and re-read all the HP novels. I guess I'm clearly a product of my time.
