Well I've been pretty lax lately about putting up posts for the reviews on the blog. Blogger makes it somewhat of a pain in the ass so it tends to dissuade me, but in any case I have two TV shows to talk about with you all for this one. First up is Marvel's new Netflix show, The Defenders , which teams up all the heroes from all their other Netflix shows. Of those, the only one I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish was Jessica Jones , but Daredevil wasn't too bad. Iron Fist had a few good secondary characters, but otherwise just kind of sucked. As for Luke Cage , well, I had plenty to say about that one already. So how does putting them all together stack up? Not well, I'm afraid: And then there was The Orville , Seth MacFarlane's personal Star Trek fan fiction/parody/homage. The trailers for this thing made me cringe, but as a huge Star Trek fan myself, I had to at least give this one a shot. Sadly it too made me very cranky:
