I just finished episode 3. I'm really enjoying it so far. There may be time for one more episode before bed...

We're halfway through episode 5. It started off a little slow, IMO. I am looking forward to where they are taking it though.

We just finished it. I enjoyed it, but felt it wasn't as good as the other series. I think they are all more interesting individually than they are collectively. Maybe I was hoping for that feeling I got from Avengers where they all come together and it just clicks. Probably expecting too much from a tv show.

I haven't finished yet, but so far I agree. I enjoy it, but it isn't the same level of chemistry as the Avengers. Its funny, i started out just really excited for them to come together, and I think that made me like the first few episodes more than I would have otherwise.

I think they may have benefitted from a few more episodes too. It was really short. They spent the first half just getting everyone together and they they just sort of rushed through the problem. I did like Matt and Jessica's early interactions, though.

And Jessica is basically the best part of any scene she's in.

Finished it last night. I won't do spoilers since it seems like people are still watching. But my takeaway was that Danny (annoying) and Matt (boring) got full storylines but somehow no character development. Jessica and Luke, who are by far the more interesting half of the team, got some good character development but were just involved in the storyline to be the muscle and support the two "leads" in their plot lines.
I also think the actor playing Danny is a problem. Granted, the writers are not giving us much to like, but a better actor would be able to make Danny's immaturity sympathetic or even funny (sort of a Spider-Man vibe).

snowyowl , I also don't really like Danny. I read an article about how much better it would have been if they'd had Danny played by an Asian American actor, and I think I agree. He just falls flat to me.

I haven't caught up on these yet, I've watched the first season of Daredevil and Jessica Jones so far. But I watched the trailer for The Punisher and I'm hoping that will be good. Does anyone know what their future plans for the series are now??
