I finished this season and without reading ANY critic before... I believe it's just a bag full of nothing.
Thoughts [POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING]:
1. No interesting plot approach or villain's stories, and no real character's development on David.
2. The fighting is plain boring if you've seen Daredevil, basically because the camera placing is undistinguished and so are the choreographies.
3. Supporting actors don't feel real at any point as they're only painted over. (See the good things)
4. And where are the stories? Our stories? I didn't feel a thing except... and I want to highlight the next point so I'm just going to pass to the things I liked:
1. Tom Pelphrey. Yay!-Best thing on the show-I said it.
Just for him, you must watch the show. Absolutely incredible. I never saw him anywhere so my first impression is def good. Yes, he did it terrific... the guy was on another level and he reached certain heights nobody else could, especially if you consider Finn Jones' shaky presence. (Except for the very beginning, in which he was kind of intriguing)
2. Jessica Stroup.
A good character that only adds colour and richness to the Meachums. Heck!, even David Wenham was good as a total pain in the ass.
3. Wai Ching Ho.
Madame Gao is always an interesting person to look at, it's just that they didn't treat her with due respect and turn her into some shallow, boring, unfolding character like anyone else; yes, after that introduction at Hell's Kitchen. Too bad.
4. Clare Temple.
She's always a plus for me, so cheers.
5. Jessica Henwick.
I kind of like her as well and her character wasn't a total disaster, so cheers too.
IN CONCLUSION.
Showtime was mediocre, people in it was not.
Now, let's get ready to The Defenders.
Overall: 6/10
