YASSSSS, Wolfram. Good plan.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Watched the first 3 episodes with my 15 y.o. daughter. Then she broke our pact yesterday and watched the next two episodes, so I caught up to her and couldn't resist watching episode 6 also. I blame Netflix and its evil all-you-can-watch mentality.

I'm holding off on Daredevil until I can see if I can convince TCG to watch it with me. We currently have a bit of a backlog on our DVR.

My wife and I have very few shows that we both enjoy, and right now that's basically Blacklist and Grimm. Finding time to watch shows together is not easy so we're like 3 episodes behind on Blacklist.
With 1st daughter, I try to watch one of Marvel AoS, Flash, Gotham or Arrow each week. With other kids, Once Upon A Time.
I suspect it will be awhile until I can get to the most recent HBO shows, though GoT gets priority. I've already had to relegate Girls, Shameless, Newsroom, House of Lies and Episodes to the "one day in the distant future" pile. Hoping to get to Better Call Saul, Justified and Archer in the nearer future, and keep up with the final Mad Men eps and start the new Orphan Black season on time.
Is it just me, or is there really just too much good tv?

There really is too much, and we know we're going to have to cut back on the shows we watch when ltc is born, but what to cut?

There's a lot, right? I was hoping that when I came back from vacation I would have some backlog that I wouldn't mind not catching up on, so I could just drop something, but that pretty much hasn't happened.

I'm halfway through the second episode of Daredevil and I already love it.

Congrats, sj. I cannot remember, is this your first?
Also, can you help me out with the acronyms - TCG and ltc? I know I'll feel stupid when you tell me.
I'm not ashamed to say I've put my babies to bed in front of plenty of grown-up tv shows. They seem to be turning out okay.

OK, so I'm watching the last fight scene in Daredevil, and there's this one bit where Daredevil knocks out one bad guy and, in the process, trips over another guy and falls out of frame. The way the scene is shot--a steady camera on the door to the kidnapped boy--does a wonderful job of framing the action. And little things, like Murdock's aforementioned trip or little tired momentary leans against the wall, really sell that he's at the end of his rope. The whole thing is really well done.

Calli, that scene was incredibly well done. I loved how the camera pans the rooms on each side so you see who Daredevil is going to have to take out before he can rescue the boy. At first, I thought he was just going to take out the one guard who was in the hallway, then slip in and grab the boy and slip out. But I guess he felt the risk was too great to the boy, so instead he takes out like 20 guys just so he can guarantee the boy's safety. It says so much about the character. I also liked how well the scene conveyed that sense of exhaustion at the end. I even said to my daughter, "beating up guys can sure take a lot out of a guy" as he leaned against the wall.
