Daredevil
I'm really enjoying it. The style of it reminds me of Asian crime cinema, which I love about it. The acting is solid across the board, the characters are well developed, there's plenty of tension and mood, the fight scenes feel raw and intense, and the whole thing is gorgeously filmed. I hope they can maintain this level of awesome.

What kind of Asian crime cinema? 'Cause if it's the crazy John Woo kind, I need to watch Daredevil...

There's less crazy action stunts and more long takes, spotty lighting, and lots of fights in warehouses.

I imagine that hallway fight in the second episode was inspired by the hallway scene in The Raid.

Black Adder (1983)

I'd been meaning to watch this for quite some time because I use to love Mr. Bean as a kid. While the two shows are nothing similar, I do love Rowan Atkinson.

Blackadder is one of my all time favorites, especially the 4th ww1 period season. Once you're done with the series (and assuming you'll like it ) make sure to see "Blackadder Back & Forth", a 1999 follow up tv movie.

It does remind me of some Hong Kong movies, but not so much John Woo as something like Johnnie To's Election movies. Some of the mood and camerawork is also reminiscent of South Korean movies like Oldboy or The Man from Nowhere. And the fight choreography has that stripped down flying-elbow-to-the-face style of The Raid: Redemption and Ong-bak.

I just finished watching the first season a few minutes ago, by the way, and I'd definitely say it keeps up the quality all the way through.
