As much as I'm a sucker for team ups and large universe and whatnot, I will be genuinely surprised if this show isn't their best effort in the Netflix corner. It's got so much going for it, it's hard to see even DD s1 beating it, let alone Defenders, which I did think was good minus the last two episodes.

She's one of those actresses you see in everything, and go "Oh my God I love this actress!" The first thing I saw her in was The Nativity Story and since then she would end up in some of my favorite shows playing a villain of some kind. Hell I kinda wish she was playing Ma Gnucci instead.
