I'll give you Crossroads and, to a degree, Fame but Monkey! Come on man, it was brilliant!

I have said it before, the love-in for Monkey has always been a complete and utter mystery to me.

I watched a Chinese film at the weekend on Netflix called "The Wandering Earth" - that reminded me of Monkey a bit, the badly dubbed English, the very annoying lead characters (brother/sister roles), the sister spent much of her time screaming or crying in very bad English, the brother kept telling everybody how clever he was and how much he hated his Dad who left him to work on a space station.

Started Gotham about 3 times and gotten bored within a few episodes. Watched the first season of Arrow but never went back.

There's too much comic book stuff for me to bother watching it all tbh.

I think you have to really like a character/series to watch all the cross overs etc. I'm not sure how people find the time

Just has a look, the Arrowverse currently has 4 shows (with more coming) and has had over 400 episodes.

Fuck that. :lol:

Yep. Not even going to consider tackling all that. If I was seriously ill again (not wishing for that!) I still probably wouldn't watch it.
I was in hospital for weeks and didn't bother watching more than 2 episodes of LOST series 3!

I'd need to be in traction with the remote out of reach. :lol:

Would probably need a flow chart to keep track of crossovers.

I remember it being okay, but not a must see.

I enjoyed Gotham, but it was a bit odd an idea having loads of villains popping up before Batman was Batman

They would've loved to have brought batman into that but they had made such a song and dance about the fact he'd never be in it that they just couldnt, probably didnt have rights to do it either .

I think DC were being deliberate in not having Batman in it at all. The very last episode you see him, but that's it. It was meant to be about how Gotham came to be in the state it was before Bruce became Batman.

I loved it. Lots of adventures, a bit of humour and characters with human failings IIRC.
 
Interesting thing about Jessica Jones is that she is the same (adult version) as the character Spiderwoman (Jessica Drew). Spiderwoman was a placeholder character who was designed to stop DC stealing the rights for an alternative sex version of a main character (which happens a lot more than yous think- see marvels Wonder Man). Essentially she would be put on ice for ling periods and brought out before the copyright expired for a short run series. The writer was annoyed that she was being left out and forgotten so wrote a script for a new character (who was exactly the same but with a changed last name) that analogised that into going missing (and abused) and not missed by the other characters but marvel wouldn't allow it for fear of tainting the spider man franchise. I can only assume they were surprised by the success - both characters continue to mirror one another almost exactly, representing two sides of the same coin.

Yeah the whole Marvel/Netflix thing seems to be over even though it was more successful than not

It's because Disney (who own Marvel) are launching their own streaming service next year so all their stuff is getting pulled from other platforms. Doubt I'll get it but there are a few big series planned (Loki and Hawkeye).
