Altered Carbon is a new Netflix show, that we've started watching. Very big production and good writing so far. We've watched the first three episodes.

I tried to get into Sheild, but could not.

I'm also a big fan of tghe Guardians. Never checked out Inhumans. Maybe I should. I'm figuring I will probably be rid of my Shield habit once I dump DirecTV. I did enjoy the Agent Carter. I like that stuff set in recent alternate history, with our without superheros, like The First Avenger, Wonder Woman, and Inglorious Bastards. WW was the first non-Batman DC movie I have liked since the original Super Man.

If you're looking for a limited binge watch, check out Vegas. One season, 21 episodes. Pretty good series featuring Denis Quaid as real life 60s Clark County sheriff Ralph Lamb and Michael Chiklis as sort of a composite mob connected Casino manager. The good guys get pretty bad at times and the bad guys are often very sympathetic. But you can always tell them apart. Pretty entertaining series that got good reviews from critics and viewers. Just weren't enough viewers to get CBS to do a second season. Still, the first season has a pretty complete story arc with no major cliff-hangers at the end like...oh...I don't know...Firefly? (Curse you, Fox.)

You will know after one episode if its for you.

Correction...I won't bother with Inhumans but will check out The Gifted, if I can get it. (Still figuring out streaming service options beyond just Amazon and Netflix.)
After watching B vs S I couldn't really remember much about it by the time I got home. Not in a rush to see JL but will no doubt watch it eventually.

When it comes to rich guys with no actual super powers, I'm still a Tony Stark fan. Although Batman is, for me, the best of DC.
