HOUS-e-
I just finished it last night and where do i start(I'm lowkey :snoop: while I type this).. On one side I felt this show wanted to have its own style away from the Daredevil's and the Luke Cage's of the world etc. and that's A OK because I don't think we should measure this by Daredevil standards which is where i bring up the other side this show failed in missing something that makes those shows i just mention great. I value the 3 shows that came before this story wise and this show didn't know where it wanted to be because I found myself lost at what they were trying to achieve over the course of 13 episodes when it was just plain and clear with the other shows after a few episodes in :aicmon:. I really wanted to love the show but it missed something that makes these other shows pop plus the fact they had an AMPLE opportunity for him to wear the costume makes this show even less satisfying to watch. Mores so, the villain(s) weren't that compelling(go see last week's episode of Arrow and you'll see an example of a compelling villain) but overall it wasn't truly a horrible show it has potential I just found myself sitting here over the weekend struggling to get through it wondering where is this season trying to go what's the endgame...

Selfish as fukk right?

But they're probably going to spin it and say that the elders felt the need to choose an outsider because they felt it was time to take the battle beyond the walls of k'un lun

Hogarth not being a conniving villain is a nice touch this time around

I fukkn hated her for that stunt she pulled with the Jessica Jones. I love the way they write her into the story because she does have redeemable qualities.

This whole i change my mind i'm not gonna kill the villain shyt is getting real old.

Very CWish. I get it the meaning of it for the younger audience, but I hate it.

Compared to the other 3 shows its wack.

On its own merit, its just ok. But thats whats wrong its just ok. Considering what they were going for they could've made this more fantasy and less grounded in reality.

The fact that he didnt wear the costume is ehhh and i could buy the idea that Daredevil is gonna hook him up with his costume guy, BUT he shouldve at least wore the colors. A green and yellow hoody or a yellow scarf or hat. SOMETHING that at least alludes to the costume
