Review:
Season 1 Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
- Marvel's Netflix ventures have looked at marginalized populations, from
Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage to military veterans. I've
only seen half of this season, but instead of focusing on the revenge
aspect, the season looks at what it takes for veterans to integrate into
society. We get to see that from a few perspectives.
While my interest in Marvel's Netflix series had waned, the more grounded nature of this really helps. We don't have (yet) immortal beings and ninjas. It's one man grappling with how he fits in the world.
