#1 Jessica Jones

 

 

For me, Jessica Jones tops the list and is the best of Marvels TV series currently. Jessica Jone is a deeply flawed heroine struggling with Post Traumatic Stress from the time she spent under the control of the villainous Kilgrave.

Every one of the characters is a fully fleshed out person from Jessica herself to Malcolm, Jessica’s neighbour. It’s rare to see a show like Jessica Jones on TV and I have my fingers crossed that the second season will be just as good.

#2 Daredevil

 

 

The first series to come out of the Netflix/Marvel partnership, Daredevil is brilliant series that has already had 2 seasons and a part in the crossover series The Defenders.

A blind superhero, Daredevil has no real superpowers other than his advanced senses which he uses to help the people of Hell’s Kitchen in New York City. His season 1 nemesis the villain known as the Kingpin Wilson Fisk (played by the brilliant Vincent D’Onofrio) is a staple that many may recognise from the Spiderman: The Animated Series cartoon that aired in the 90’s.

#3 The Defenders

 

 

The Defenders crossover event brought together Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Daredevil together in a way vaguely reminiscent of the Avengers movie. The 4 superheroes all of whom are generally loners come together to fight against the Hand which brought together storylines introduced in each hero’s individual shows.

The cliffhanger at the end of this series was brilliant and  I can’t wait to see how the Marvel and Netflix use it going into further seasons.

#4 Agent Carter

 

 

The only show on this list that isn’t a collaboration with Netflix the Spin-Off series Agent Carter lasted only 2 seasons much to the dismay of its numerous fans many of whom are still lobbying for a revival from either Netflix or Amazon.

Agent Carter was set in the 1940’s and followed Agent Peggy Carter of Captain America fame as she worked at the SSR (an intelligence organisation) the precursor to the SHIELD we see in the Marvel Cinematic universe’s movies.

#5 Luke Cage

 

 

Luke Cage is a bulletproof black man living in Harlem, New York in a time where racial prejudice is at a high. Like Daredevil and Jessica Jones Luke Cage does not deal with alien invasions and doomsday events, he deals in the street level crime in his neighbourhood.

But don’t be fooled Luke Cage is not a saint he has secrets that unfold during the first and so far the only season of his show.
