Hot on the heals of Daredevil I'm watching Jessica Jones, which I'm finding a little dull by comparison, apart from nasty David Tennant.
Things are brightened up by my finally catching up with three DCs: Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl. I'm finding the latter two more fun, so I'll be through them before I even get to the end of Arrow's first season.
Is this "Arrow" character a renamed version of DC's grouchy, mouthy, and otherwise atitudinous "Green Arrow" who played in the DC Universe for decades? If it is, why did they drop the "Green"?
'Fraid so. Annoying isn't it? And the image of 'the hooded man', which appeared in the comics, I feel came from the (imho) the best tv Robin Hood, Robin of Sherwood starring Michael Praed and later Jason Connery.
Only seen two episodes so far but it's ok. The other two are somewhat lighter and a little more fun, but I'll get through it all I'm sure.

Gomorra, series 2, utterly riveting.
Billions, very good. Succinctly-written, one or two vomit-inducing moments and dialogue but largely superb. A world of stocks and shares skullduggery. Dallas without the oil!
Peaky Blinders, series two, excellent bbc period drama about midlands gypsy family/gang, with razors in the peaks of their caps, hence Peaky blinders. Godfather meets gypsies.

Am very eager for the return of The Americans in March.
I love that show and am also really looking forward to its return. It’s one of the most brilliantly crafted "slow burn" series in quite some time.
As for now, I haven’t been watching much of anything on TV. I’m waiting for Veep and the aforementioned The Americans to return. I am tuned into Portlandia, an endearing comedy on the Portland culture.
The Americans has been excellent this season, just superb. With a few shocking moments that the showrunners of The Walking Dead need to study.
Just finished season 3 of Game Of Thrones. Solid stuff, but the nudity and sex are ridiculous. Nothing is gained from these scenes that couldn't be expressed another way, it's really just "hey, we're on pay cable! " Saw an interview with the showrunners where they admitted using these scenes as "sexposition" : exposition scenes that they feared would be boring so they distract you with sex.
It's not that I'm a prude, but there's a way to handle such scenes. Like, with violence and language, you have Goodfellas, then you have Scarface.
But overall, am enjoying GoT a lot .
A friend recommended the Archer cartoon series, but after a few episodes it felt like it was the same thing every episode. Pass.

I just watched all 3 seasons of Brooklyn 99. It's fairly entertaining. Not laugh out loud comedy but decent enough. the structure reminds me of something like Corner Gas or Community. Andre Baugher is ace in it, too.
