It's Thursday again which only means it's time for another episode of Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
And this is another television edition week, and the topic is superheroes. Believe it or not, it was very challenging for me. Not for the reason you're thinking, though. The problem is that I watch so many superhero tv series - I basically watch them all - I didn't know which to pick. So I decided to go all Netflix & Chill Marvel, my favourite pair. And the best thing is that they all are tied together.
Daredevil (2015- )
As a child Matt Murdock was blinded by a chemical spill which gave him superhuman senses. He a fully grown man now, an attorney at day, and a vigilante at night that uses his special abilities to take down the most powerful men and women in Hell's Kitchen. After the terrible film with Ben Affleck, the Daredevil finally got the treatment he deserved in this excellent adaptation of the comic books. And the villains are fantastic as well. Fisk is played by Vincent D'Onofrio after all.
Jessica Jones (2015- )
Jessica Jones is a retired superhero who fills her time drinking and trying to help people as a private investigator. But then a man from her past returns to New York, and she has to use her extraordinary abilities to get rid of him. I always loved the complexity of this character and this show was able to capture the suffering, pain and strength of her beautifully. As above, the villain is spectacular and David Tennant really shines as that sociopath. I meant Killgrave.
Luke Cage (2016- )
Given super strength and durability by an experiment, the wrongly accused Luke Cage escapes from prison and becomes a superhero for hire. I have to admit this one was a bit confused and unfocused, and it does take a while to take off, but it eventually improves. The villains though are not enough for Cage. They are just too weak. That's probably because there were all those villains. It's still worth the watch though.
