I really wanted to like this. It's quirky and amusing, but quite a serious subject too. At the beginning. But it doesn't really develop. It gets weirder, yes. But does it actually go anywhere? It seems like it is just trying to get weirder for the sake of it.
Maybe I just missed the point. But I got bored with it about 3/4 of the way in. So I just didn't care what happened at the end.

Daredevil (series 2)
After signing up with Netflix last year to see the first series of Daredevil, I was obviously looking forward to series 2.
And I wasn't disappointed.
Like the first series, it takes its time to build up the characters and the main storyline. There are a few surprises and things move along for all the characters from the first series...
...as well as introducing Elektra and The Punisher. (and The Hand)
The few times there was a lull and I started to doubt the writing, there was a twist that made me sit right up and start taking notice again.
With a lull now until the next Marvel Netflix series I might well watch both DD series again back to back... to make sure I didn't miss anything.
(although I am into a couple of other series like Continuum now and have plenty of disks to watch from Cinema Paradiso)
