Finished the second episode of Luke Cage. The first ep was just okay... but ep 2 was significantly better. I'm looking forward to more.

Luke Cage
I'm four episodes in...and not sure if I'm going to continue. I liked the Power Man & Iron Fist comic/combo as lot as a kid and I think it's becoming apparent to me that they need each other to play off of. Luke Cage by himself, well, at least this tale, isn't setting my world on fire. The origin tale wasn't until the 4th episode, he needs a heavy or something to battle, and there really hasn't been any great combat scenes. He had one, going into the Crispus Attucks building, but it felt sort of brief after the long wait. DD has more actions scenes in one episode than this has had in four.
Now, I'm not a spazz that needs wall to wall action, but when I settle in for a superhero tale I wanna see a little.
Watching this has me wondering if I'm going to be in on Iron Fist as well. He's sort of a low rent Daredevil with a better costume, and without Cage to play off of...maybe I'll find he by himself isn't all that.
Oh, anyone have any idea if this Cage series takes place before or after Jessica Jones? I guess from reading some reviews, I was under the impression he and her are a couple. She's nowhere to be seen here.

Its confirmed in later episodes that Cage definitely takes place after Jessica Jones.

I came across an older British crime drama on Amazon, Whitechapel. Not bad as far as the cop-genre goes. The first season surrounded a Ripper copycat. We'll likely watch the subsequent seasons.

I binge watched Luke Cage last week and really enjoyed it. I didn't think it was as good as Daredevil or Jessica Jones, but I did think it was a lot of fun.
I've been watching season one of Ash vs Evil Dead and recording the new one for when I'm ready for that. Stupid guilty fun show. I was hooked on it from the first episode flashback on how the story began.
Im going to give Timeless a try as well. It's a time travel show on NBC so I predict a season or less.
Lastly I'm recording Westworld, but haven't watched it yet. I have a few friends who want to watch it too so I'm recording them and waiting till we all get together to watch them.

Timeless - 3 episodes in. I'll stick with it because the places they've gone have been cool but I don't expect much from it. Not a must-see. Will probably get cancelled soon.
Supergirl - A strong start in the first two episodes. I really liked their take on Superman and that the show overall is very bright and optimistic. Won't miss Calista Flockhart.
Flash - Been liking the Flashpoint stuff. I hope they break with the pattern of their previous seasons and Dr Alchemy doesn't turn out to be the new guy that works with Barry. Just too obvious.
Agents of SHIELD - It was worth the first 3 un-even seasons of this show just for the Ghost Rider stuff this season. I would watch a spinoff of this GR.

Finally catching up on Deadwood. Ian McShane just tears it up. What a magnificent cunt he is. Loving it.

I didn't realize he was in the GoT until now. Such a great actor.
Anyway, started watching Deadwood a couple of weeks ago, too. We're almost at the end of the first season, and WOW.
This easily rivals with Sopranos and The Wire. What I find incredible is how it presents Wild West in a completely different light from anything I've seen before (it is more like Gangs of New York than a western), and very believable and compelling. There's also not a character I'm not invested in. Even the background characters display a surprising amount of depth. There's a coherency to this show (at least season1) that's uncanny even considering we live in TV-show's golden age.
