    Default Comic Book Shows - How do they stack?

    Seems that we are in an abundant age for comic book based shows and movies. Which of the current comic-based TV shows do you watch and how would you rank them?

    Currently for me:

    1. The Flash
    2. Daredevil
    3. Agents of SHIELD
    4. Arrow
    5. Agent Carter
    6. Legends of Tomorrow (only seen one episode, but I don't think it will be better than the others)
    7. Jessica Jones (stopped watching)
    8. Supergirl (stopped watching)

    I'm really surprised how great The Flash has become. It started off very corny but it has grown into its cheesiness and Barry is a very charismatic lead character. Daredevil also surprised me on the production value but Jessica Jones was just too dark and brooding for me.

    1.) Supergirl
    2.) Jessica Jones

    Haven't watched a whole lot of the others to really rate them. Been enjoying the addition of Martian the Manhunter, several good villains, and looking forward to Bizarro Girl next Monday on Supergirl.

    There's only three I've watched, really. I'd put them in the following order, highest to lowest. I really like all of them, although Agents lacks the focus of the other two.

    Jessica Jones
    Daredevil
    Agents of SHIELD

    I know Jessica Jones is a bit of a "marmite" program, but I was absolutely gripped by it.

    What have I seen...

    1) Daredevil - Gripping, realistic without being overly grim. Has a rather attractive lead.
    2) Jessica Jones - It was good, but the lead character is a study in grimness, moodiness and blatant anti-socialism. Events progressed very quickly without much room for a breather.

    1. Jessica Jones -- one of the most interesting new shows I've seen. Not without its defects, but head and shoulders above other comic book shows.
    2. Daredevil
    3. Arrow
    4. Supergirl (intermittently watching)

    I need to get around to Agents of SHIELD, and I was never really interested in the Flash. I'm surprised by your strong endorsement, though, so maybe I'll give it a try.

    I've yet to watch the Netflix series, don't watch Supergirl or Arrow so I'll just rank the ones I've seen:

    1. Gotham (just awesome)
    2. AoS (Shield has dropped a bit after what I felt was a lackluster midseason finale ending, but the season has been great)
    3. Agent Carter (could surpass Shield)
    4. Flash
    5. Legends of Tomorrow

    One on top of the other, usually.

    Of the ones listed I've only watched Jessica Jones and I stopped watching that after I think 5 or 6 episodes. I just found it incredibly dull and thought it was trying too hard to be dark and edgy.

    I'm honestly not fussed by superhero films/shows these days though, there's only a few I genuinely like.

    I forgot about Gotham and The Walking Dead, mainly because I stopped watching them. Gotham went in a direction I didn't like and TWD is the most frustrating show I've probably ever watched. The comics are so great yet the show focuses on some of the weirdest and most boring plot points.
