    I totally forgot about The Man in the High Castle but the pilot was really interesting so I'm looking forward to watching it, gotta finish Jessica Jones first though. My main complaint with the Marvel movies is how they are all pretty lighthearted and full of quips but they are completely rectifying that with Daredevil and now Jessica Jones.

    I've only watched the first episode of both shows. Look forward to binge watching both.

    I'm already 5 episodes in on Jessica Jones, it's great so far. I think I like it better than Daredevil actually. About to watch a couple more right now!

    Daredevil was really well done. So much better than that Ben Afflack movie.

    I gotta watch Daredevil. My wife was watching it and I thought it was a CW show or something. I hate that channel and anything on it. So I've skipped it. Sounds like it is well done.

    I read the book (Man in the High Castle).

    I saw the first two episodes - they're in UHD/4K.

    Amazon only had two episodes listed last time I looked.

    I have to admit I bailed on JJ after the first episode. Didn't care for either the main character or the actress playing her.

    I don't get excited to see many shows. The Man In The High Castle is an exception. I love alternate history.

    Watch Fargo. Incredible story telling. Especially if you love dark humor.

    Well, I loved the Coen Bros' movie. And that humor was as dark as it comes. I'll give it a shot.

    TMITHC was a great Philip K. Dick book and I've only watched the pilot on Amazon, which I thought showed promise. I look forward to more.
