Not being a comics reader, I don't care whether a show adheres to canon or not. I just want a good story well told. They are different mediums after all, just as it is when any book is adapted for film or TV. Then again, I've been upset about particular book to film adaptations, so it would be understandable if a comic fan complains about some change they don't like. I don't know if that has been happening with any of the Marvel shows since I don't hang with comic fans or visit many sites devoted to the books.

Well, I view comics differently than I do books. I just do. Mess with the 'canon' of a comic book, doesn't matter so much, as it would say... having Elves show up at the battle of Helms Deep. THEN we've got issues.

Just sayin'.

Thx for the review and glad it seems to be well rec'd by people here. Any particular order to watch these shows in?

Daredevil - Jessica Jones - Luke Cage. As they were released.

Now, there's nothing mandatory in watching ALL Daredevil, then ALL of Jessica Jones before diving into the Luke Cage season. At this point, their major plot lines run fairly separate, but there's at least one unifying thread between them, and a bunch of one line references to either one or the other , as well as the running occasional reference to ' The Incident ' in NYC, and associated parties involved. Shouldn't take long to figure out

This is a rather ambitious project too. Along w/ the 3 series out already, there's 2 more off shoots coming, and then they'll ALL tie in , Avengers style, for The Defenders, which I'm not sure if it'll be a movie or it's own series. I'm purposefully trying to not get too far ahead, so that I can enjoy what's out now. I just try not to get my hopes up too far in advance, as sometimes that can lead to undue expectations. But that's just me.

Actually, just one more offshoot (Iron Fist) then the 8 episode The Defenders show. The Punisher will be getting his own show, but it won't be part of that team up.

G - My first introduction to DD was the abysmal (imo) Ben Affleck movie. So yeah, I was more than hesitant at giving the character another shot, but there's just no comparison between the series and the movie. Sooo glad for their effort ! Dunno how close to the orignal story it stays, but I thought it was damn fine.

Knew of the upcoming Iron Fist series, but wasn't sure of the release date. First time I saw a live feed from Mike Colter ( Luke ) on Facebook , where he and Finn Jones ( Iron Fist ) have their first ' face to face ', via live chat. Pretty cool, if you get a chance to check it out.

I wasn't aware the Punisher wasn't a part of the Defender gang, but that only makes sense.
