A bunch of superheroes aren’t so super.
Awesome, but I had to stop watching because I was recommended not to.

A kickass preacher is infected with a power, and for some reason there’s a vampire.
Maybe it has potential, but it’s scatterbrained and kept sliding into slow moody boringness.
 Why is it called this? Who knowsǃ

Some people wake up with no memories, alone on board a ship. Blah blah mysteries and stuff.
It gets the basics right, but it ends up being shit in all the important places. The writing and tone of the show is terrible. I couldn’t get past two episodes before being disgusted. A show ought to hook me in the pilot, but this didn’t have one.. and it shows.

The son of a billionaire family survives them in a plane crash in the Himalayas, and returns after being raised by monks only to find their ancient enemies throughout his old home and business. Basically Marvel’s Batman.
At first I was going to ignore this series, because the Iron Fist trailer made it look like utter trash, but the YUR A WHITE MALE “mainstream liberal media” response made me interested.
Even though the superhero genre is generally tiring, this show is well worth watching, and its response is a beautiful example of fake news manufactured by “social” “justice”.

Agents with a formerly-secret worldwide law-enforcement organization work to safeguard the world from the lesser challenges now too-frequent for superheroes alone.
Good enough, although so far it’s one of these episodic shows which has a new problem every episode.
I watched three episodes and liked it, but I took a long break and watched a fourth and couldn’t figure anything out or get interested again. I can’t recommend this except for those who are heavily hooked on those first few episodes and who intend to properly binge-watch it all.

A man attains mystical powers originally for selfish reasons, but they taint with a life fraught with danger and demons.
Not a bad show, but the lead character’s personality isn’t attracting, and there’s the old celestial stick-up-the-ass personality in another. The lead female is hot. Hotty hot hot.
This was cancelled after one season. Back in the 90s this show would have done well, but I’m guessing this genre has alternately been well-poisoned or saturated. This show has too much it has to be better than to catch enough attention to survive. I think that it’s magic-fantasy was competing with an extraordinarily-strong superhero-fantasy genre.

- More-or-less based on Constantine – (2005 movie)

.. which in turn is based on the DC comic book series Hellblazer.

The early days of Gotham City.
This loiters on all the named characters, trying to explore their backstories. I didn’t like it.

A woman with the powers of strength and PTSD is tormented by a former not-boyfriend and whose description spoils the show.
I watched this for a bit, and it’s slow and boring.
- Based on the Marvel Comics character Jessica Jones, whom I hadn’t heard of until now.
- I was only interested in this, because I know Krysten Ritter from Breaking Bad – (2008 show).

This takes place in New York City.

Superheroes are superheroey.
A knockoff of the X-Men like Gobots is of Transformers.
Although this is fun-ish, it is probably only watchable in the context of its era. The writing on this show is terrible!
