What you are Watching on Netflix.

Luther has been pretty damn amazing. On season 3 now.

In season 1 it was one of the best TV shows that I've ever, ever, ever seen.

Acting, filming, music, story ... it all just worked.

Even though I desperately wanted to see that happened to the characters, seasons 2 and 3 were just "good" (very, very little TV rises to the level of "good" in my book).

Suffering through Jessica Jones right now because I'm running out of stuff to watch.

I get the whole manipulative-male/hurt-female thing ... but it's dragged-out to death with a bunch of humorless characters that I don't care about.

I need to find something better to watch.

OTOH ... Green Arrow and DareDevil actually managed to really surprise me by being very good.

I also tore through all the superhero shows on Netflix (with Daredevil season 2 being most recent) and am too feeling the void.  I don't watch live TV much so I am eagerly awaiting season 2 of The Flash whenever that shows up there.  I kinda liked Jessica Jones, and I think it has some potential to get better.  Looking forward to Luke Cage's new show too.

Is arrow any good? I'm enjoying watching flash right now.

If you're actually enjoying Flash, then you'll probably like Arrow.

In my mind they're totally different shows, with Arrow being head-and-shoulders-and-a-long-ladder-too above Flash.

I guess that it totally depends upon how you like your comicbook characters, and which ones you were more drawn to as a kid.

I always preferred the dark-and-brooding regular-guys-in-costumes to the got-a-miraculous-superpower-guys. Spiderman was the only character that I can think of that successfully melded both styles (until you get to the independent comics in the 1980s, but the only thing folks remember from those days now is TMNT).

Anyway ... that's why I find Arrow's long story of "why the spoiled-rich-kid turned into a vigilante" (as wonderfully preposterous as it was), much more interesting than Flash's "how-can-we-come-up-with-yet-another-crisis-that-needs-this-guy's-kinda-lame-superpower".
