Jessica Jones

It's on my list for the near future, watching Arrow right now (just finished the 1st season).
 
I watched the first couple episodes. I'm not sure if I am going to continue. I'm generally not that big into comic book stuff, so that's a strike against it. It seems well written and acted, but it's just not doing it for me. It seems like the story is getting going pretty slowly... maybe I'll give it another episode or two and see if I like it, but right now I'm just not that hopeful that it's going to get me.

Me too. I am on Season Episode 4 I think.

I keep seeing the promo for Jessica Jones and I am intrigued. But it will have to wait, I am too involved in Arrow right now.

I started watching The Flash and I got into Arrow from that and have quit watching the Flash. I will go back to it I am sure.
 
Yeah I'm watching Flash with the kids, they enjoy it. Arrow's darker and not really something I want them to watch.
 
Does Arrow improve? I watched the pilot and it was so painfully bad that I just couldn't continue.

I'm gonna guess no, not for you then. If you didn't like the first episode you may not like the rest of it. They pretty much follow in the same format and storyline.

I have really liked it, but I'm a weirdo.
 
While not on par with shows like GoT, Breaking Bad, etc, Season one of Arrow got into a pretty good groove as the season went on, I thought Season 2 was pretty solid on a whole and then Season 3 tailed off about midway through. The creators dip into and are heavily influenced by Batman lore. There's even several characters that cameo in some episodes that are more associated with Batman than Green Arrow. Deathstroke, Deadshot, Huntress, Ra's Al Ghul, etc...this season (4) has been much lighter so far.
 
I'm a sucker for pretty much any superhero related show, so I started with Arrow when it first started. I agree, if you're not into the pilot, you probably won't be into the rest of the series. It does get better, but it's still gonna have the same "vibe" or whatever. And it definitely had a dip at some point -- I don't remember when, but it defintiely went down. It picked up again and is back on "course". The thing I fast forward through are all the angst-ridden "conversations" -- it's playing to a certain demographic I'm not a part of -- well, this show already starts off not catering to my demo, but that part is WAY not my demo.

The super-hero shows on right now would include:
Arrow -- I like it with the caveats above
Flash -- it takes it's cue fromt eh comic in being more "light" that "dark"
Agents of Shield -- I think this one has improved each season
Agent Carter -- I liked this one right off the bat
Daredevil -- I'm not super excited about the casting for DD himself, but I thought everyone else was good. I liked the series and look forward to the next season
Jessica Jones -- so far I'm liking it. It's taking it's time, but I'm not bored. Definitely the darkest of the bunch
Heroes Reborn -- so inconsistent. doesn't have the magic of the first season or two, but not as bad as the last of the original series
Gotham -- I watch it. It's got some good episodes and some bad.
Supergirl -- I've only seen the first episode and I liked it ok. I think the lead is well cast, i'm less thrilled with Calista Flockhart as the boss (maybe I'm just tired of the bitchy devil-wears-prada trope) and am violently against the Jimmy Olsen casting (Jimmy Olsen was supposed to have a certain level of innocence - that characteristic is completely lacking with Mehcad Brooks)
Sense8 -- Haven't seen it yet, so have no opinion.


Did I miss any that are currently airing?
 
Sorry off OP topic again.....my biggest complaint is the backstory of having spent time off the Island he was supposed to have spent 5 years. It looks and feels like a subplot that the writers had an idea for and then changed their minds about after Season 1. So every season and episode since, when they break away from the main episode storyline the subplot/back story doesn't fit. It has become to an extent unconvincing even for a comic book based show.
 
I've been watching a number of the shows that TKoP has listed and the one that I consistently keep telling myself that I need to stop watching is Arrow.

If it weren't for the women-in-leather fighting scenes I would have ditched it last season!

It's by far the worst scripted show of the bunch.

Check out the new show coming out in January. DC's Legends of Tomorrow trailer on YouTube. It's a spinoff from Flash and the Arrow where good and evil characters from both shows time travel to stop a super villain and save the world. Trailer looked good. Would love to post YouTube link but my iPad has issues posting videos. So if a mod can place one in that would be great. It's nice seeing some of the characters from both shows branching off in what looks like a cool new show.
 
Back to the OP...

Thanks for the tip. Had never heard of Jessica Jones before. Just watched the first two episodes. I'm hooked so far.

Watched the last of Season One last night. Well worth the time. Satisfying conclusion to the season - with everything set up for the next one.
