Thank you

Edit, itunes only, kind of. Never heard of Optimum. Might wait until True Detective reviews are out before joining "optimum".

Got 3 episodes into Daredevil last night. Really good so far. Not sure about the decision to tie it into the Avengers universe, or why they felt it necessary, but the references are vague and minimal so far. Hope they keep it that way.

I only dabbled, but Daredevil was always my favorite comic book when I was a kid. I find the acting pretty bad, but the shows not too bad. The Mighty Duck is really, really, bad. Can't believe they couldn't find anyone else to play dufus friend. I only watched the first, are they all procedural? That would be kind of cool for a superhero story.

The three I saw were all different. I've actually found the acting above par for this kind of thing. I haven't minded Foggy but it seems the opinion on him runs the gamut. I've read a few critics who like him a lot but most conments online are negative. He does have a Encyclopedia Brittanica guy vibe about him.

The fight scenes are excellent so far, particularly the end of episode 2.

I had this moment today, since I'm at work at night, of "Man, I must be forgetting something on my DVR."
