Snacs and I have gotten through the first season of Jessica Jones, Luke Cake and Iron Fist and the first two seasons of Daredevil. We watched 'em all in cannon order, and we're on to The Defenders. It's been a pretty fun ride. I don't think anything will top the absolutely out-of-left-field episode of Luke Cage where: {SPOILERS AHOY}Cornell pulls out a Damn Rocket Launcher like Wile E. Coyote. So far my biggest disappointment was Jessica Jones, which was nigh-unwatchable. I'm mostly caught up with Agents of Shield. I can see why there's talks that they're gonna wrap it up/end the series, because there's not much more they can do at this point. Not that I'm complaining about what we get, the show is still good and I've always loved the concept. This and last season definitely does feel like 'WE're getting the band back together for a last rodeo' with all the cameos of older characters though.

Defenders was actually really anti-climactic? Like, the plot structure was very unsatisfying. I've played in D&D games with better cohesion.
We've moved onto The Punisher, which has actually been really good thus far!
I still hate Karen. She's such a bitch. Now she's all "oh of course I'll help you, Frank!" Just because he comes and asks. Bitch last time you talked to him you told him he is dead to you. Nothing has changed - he's still out to kill the bad guys! If you're going to be sanctimonious at least be consistently sanctimonious! Otherwise the only reason you were such a dick was because he didn't let you boss him around.

Yeah, Defenders was a bit of a mess. I braced for that, because it was made by the same guy who did Iron Fist, which I found to be the worst of the Defenders series. I did really enjoy Punisher, though. I was really worried that they were going to make a show that glorified gun violence and pushed the narrative that only vigilantes with guns can save society, but not only did they not go that route, they instead made a really interesting show about PTSD and how we, as a culture, severely neglect our troops once they get home from war. As for Karen, I didn't find her attitude change toward Frank to be inconsistent. Remember: {Spoilers for Defenders}She believes Matt died in Defenders and is still in mourning. She is less willing to push Frank away now, because he's one of the few people who would understand that.

I just finished binging the first season of The Good Place on Netflix. I can't believe I only just discovered this show. It's funny and very smart.

New Jessica Jones tomorrow and Luke Cage has a date, and it's not too far off!

A lot of shows I want to watch are coming out this month. Archer, Season 9 I swear I thought I heard this show was cancelled after the last season, but I guess I was wrong. This completely caught me off guard. The 100, Season 5 Can't wait to see how Jaha is going to screw everything up this season. At least Jasper won't be around to help him. Also, I look forward to seeing what completely different personality that Bellamy has this season. (Ha, it sounds like I don't even like this show, doesn't it? ) Persona 5 The Animation "I am thou... Thou art I..." I really loved the game and enjoyed the anime of the last game, so I'm especially looking forward to this one.

So it's not technically TV, but I've been listening to these losers play Microscope on my commute.
I've set up a one-shot session for Sunday at my local gaming store that I am excited for. I'd try to run a game here on the forums but I don't think it would adapt well to a Play By Post format. It is playable on Table Top Simulator, though, if anyone has that and wants to set up a date to play

Jessica Jones was renewed for a third season. Also, has anyone been watching Krypton on Scifi? It's actually pretty interesting so far. Sort of Games of Thrones-esque with its politics and various guilds and families. Although for the life of me, I find it very difficult to take a villain seriously when it has a name like 'Brainiac.'

Just finished watching Aggretsuko on Netflix. It's an anime from the Hello Kitty people (Sanrio Surprise), about a young office girl who deals with the stress of everyday life by singing death metal in private. It's ridiculously relatable.

Snacs and I checked it out, since it's just one season of 15-minute episodes and I've been seeing memes of it everywhere. It was cute! Washimi is #LifeGoals I'm looking forward to finding out that Haida-kun is a hard core punk rock fanatic in season 2

It's hard to pick a favorite character, but if I had to, I'd probably go with Washimi, too. Or possibly Fenneko.

Just finished the second season of Luke Cage. That was a really solid season, from beginning to end. Every main character got lots of screentime and development (Misty, Mariah, Bushmaster, Shades, Tilda and of course, Luke).

I started watching Agents of Sheild last night. I quite enjoyed it, although I only saw the first two episodes.

I'm a big fan of SHIELD, myself. There are five seasons, and a sixth one on the way, so you have a lot of catching up to do. I'm actually re-watching season 5 at the moment, too.
