I heard good things about it but I want to finish the Defenders before starting anything else.

Yeah, I had to take a break after the Defenders, which was solid. Was disappointed with Iron Fist to the point where I stopped watching from boredom. It’s too bad, because I was really keen on the character after the Fraction/Aja series about a decade ago.

Punisher is definitely solid though and worth your time, I think.

New shows coming soon to HBO Nordic. Can you tell me anything about them? Have they been shown over there already?

I'm eight episodes through Punisher. I was expecting a bit more action given the character. I hope things pick up a bit. I've enjoyed most of the Marvel Netflix seasons (exception being Iron Fist, and haven't watched Jessica Jones yet). It's not bad, but it's bordering on boring right now. Has that Walking Dead feeling where things are being dragged out too long. A little more John Wick and a little less days of our lives would be welcome.

It all comes together nicely.

I think I've seen a trailer for Knightfall before. Brittania looks far more interesting, though..

Couldn’t play the other trailer. Found this.

Britannica looks pretty good. Coming to Amazon.

I liked Iron Fist. It was fun but it has problems but it wasn't as bad as everyone was saying it and it did get an unfair beating in the press over that "whitewashing/white savior" shit, IMO.

As with The Defenders, I am actually losing interest in The Hand. I mean these were the same dudes who, in the comics, worshiped a demon known only as "The Beast" and they just couldn't make them interesting. At least Madame Gao is still good to watch.
