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".
- Note that The Hand is unrelated to TMNT's Foot Clan.

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.

An old retired cop is reborn into a younger, stronger, version of himself, and fights crime.
Seems fairly good, though I'd bet it would be bland without the pretty girl.

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).

Everyday idiots get superpowers and become idiots with superpowers.
I watched through season one and just gave up. It's a bullshit non-show with no direction.

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!
