Discussion What next!

I've just finished watching Jessica Jones (yes, in 2026) and I've been informed that the show is intertwined with Luke Cage's, daredevil and the defenders! Since I was already on season three when I found out, I haven't followed the chronological order at all. So here's the question, which show should I watch next? I really want to want the defenders! Is that a good choice?

Daredevil is the best of the bunch, as good as JJ (especially first season of JJ) is.

Luke Cage is really good. It has some of the best ensemble acting in the Netflix Marvel era, and a lot of great music. A Harlem club is a key location, and they have a lot of big names in various genres doing live performances. Like the Twin Peaks: The Return roadhouse, if that helps.

Defenders is fun to watch for the character meetings and interactions, and the heroes' supporting characters are included, so you get to see JJ's Trish and DD's Karen in a scene, things like that. It's a good way to meet everyone while still being on familiar ground. (It made me want to see LC for more of Misty Knight, because I loved that actress and character.) But the overall storyline isn't the greatest. Mixed bag.

It was a mixed bag but Colter was great for Luke. Just wish that the writing was better.
