I watched Season 1 of Jessica Jones back then and loved it, then I tried Season 2 of Daredevil, but by that point I was just too burnt out and never continued with it from there. This time I'm going to try and spread them out more, breaking them up with other shows, or periods of not watching anything, and hopefully it'll go better this time. I know for sure my enjoyment of superheroes is at an all time high atm, which is the exact opposite of how it was during my last attempt, so that should help, lol

I read somewhere on Twitter that the new Daredevil series will bring pretty much all the stars of the Netflix shows back. Whether or not that ends up being true, it's definitely a possibility, so I think I'll officially commit myself to getting through all of those shows by the mid point of next year (that way I'll be caught up well before most of the characters start showing up, while still giving myself breathing room so I don't get burnt out, lol)
Speaking of which, I started my rewatch of Daredevil Season 1. I read over some of my comments in this thread from four years ago, and it's clear I was horribly burnt out on superheroes in general at that point, so I definitely made the right decision in dropping the CW shows entirely (I never went back to them after that point) and waiting a few years to start getting into the MCU. I'm up to the end of Episode 6, which is where my first watch starting going off the rails, and so far this time it's not exactly a personal favorite or anything (more a solid 4 stars/8/10), but pretty much everything I liked before has only been better this time around, and everything I hated has either been perfectly fine or at least not anywhere near as bad as I seemed to think it was back then, LOL

I just acquired the complete series of Deadwood (plus the movie) on Blu-Ray. I watched maybe half of the series years ago, but never got around to finishing it. I'll start back from the beginning as I revisit it.

I´m watching The Sandman, and it´s a pretty good show so far. I like that the episodes feature very different paces and characters. It´s definitely interesting so far.

 Probably the least essential of the MCU content on Disney + (except for maybe those Groot shorts  ), but I decided to watch it anyway. I felt the quality ranged from kinda boring (Zombies) to decent, if very predictable (the Carter one was basically just a severely rushed version of the first Captain America movie, with reversed roles), to absolutely fantastic (that Doctor Strange episode especially.) Overall, I thought it worth watching, though certainly not the greatest MCU content. One thing I found curious, though, was how one character seemed to have a major role in the finale completely out of nowhere. After looking into it, apparently there was supposed to be a 10th episode featuring that character, but it got cut, so now their episode is supposed to appear in season 2. Which will be weird, because we will already know the payoff to their story beforehand, lol I think I'm going to alternate between the Defenders Saga stuff and the other MCU series slowly over the next while, starting with my rewatch of Daredevil Season 1 tomorrow. I remember having, um, very mixed thoughts on it before, so we'll see if it goes any better this time (I loved Jessica Jones Season 1, though, and even liked the one Daredevil Season 2 episode I watched before getting distracted by other stuff, so at least this is guaranteed to not be a total disaster, lol)

Just finished Obi-Wan Kenobi and I thought it was pretty good. It doesn´t beat The Mandalorian, but I found it slightly better than Boba Fett. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8466564/  |

I´ve watched all the Netflix marvel shows and I especially enjoyed Jessca Jones and Daredevil, but I also enjoy both Ironfist and Luke Cage and The Punisher was great too. Actually I liked that whole universe.

I never actually finished watching the Netflix shows because of all the sudden cancellations. I might have to revisit the lot now though.
I'm going to assume that the whole Netflix Defender's Saga, as it's now called, should be considered canon to the main MCU if Daredevil is. I wouldn't be surprised still not to see the Netflix shows confined to an alternate universe as variants give the Multiverse Saga we're now in. I bet it will happen as soon as continuity becomes an issue for where they want to go with these characters.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna attempt rewatching the first season, then watching the other two seasons of it, at least before the Echo series, since that's supposed to have Daredevil and a certain other character in it. I'm not sure if the other Defenders series are going to join the MCU or not, but I may as well just throw all of them into my viewing plans as well, just for completionist sake.

It has, Jonas. Marvel recently outlined a new Phase 5 and 6 plan. Phase 4 ends after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for the films and She-Hulk for the shows.
Loki Season 2 is coming next year as part of Phase 5. Phase 5 also includes a new Daredevil series which is supposed to be a continuation of the Netflix one.

This one is brilliant, and thankfully the last episode promises a seson 2 ahead. I´m not sure if it´s been commissioned yet though.

 Excellent, definitely better than Wandavision, and one of the better MCU stories altogether, from what I've seen so far. From what I understand, the next big MCU villain is basically an alternate version of a character who appeared near the end of this, and based on that actor's performance here, I think we're in for some fun times ahead, lol

Yeah those Hippo scenes were quite crazy
. I´m still not sure what to make of the show, but I guess it was decent, and if anything I greatly enjoyed the acting of Ocar Issac, who has become one of my favorite actors since I saw him in Ex Machina. |

I liked Moon Knight but I found the tone of the series to be all over the place. One minute it's really playing up the darker side of the MCU, even giving off horror vibes, the next it's just being plain wacky and bringing in talking hippos.

I was entertained, but it was a bif confusing too, and I wasn´t too fond of the SGI (especially the Jackal didn´t look that great).

Watched the finale of Ms. Marvel last night. Enjoyed this one overall. Just wishing its follow-up movie wasn't slated to be the fourth film down the line from where we're currently at. Going to feel the long wait after a cliffhanger ending.
