Daredevil (2015)
Absolutely Brilliant - Must See!
I love this series! Having watched seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix in a fairly quick space of time (about 1 month) how I've grown to love the introduction with the creepy graphics and the music you can't get out of your head. The acting is amazing and the characters really seem real and their stories engrossing. Foggy is brilliant, so is Matt of course and Karen is brilliant too.
The fighting is also amazing but I love the way Daredevil (Matt) is like an ordinary guy. He doesn't seem really big or muscly and you can certainly feel the pain when he gets hit.
What a great story and a great series. I can't believe they're not making series 3 for some time now! Keep it going Netflix!!
Logan's Run: Man Out of Time (1977)
Groundbreaking SCI-FI
I've been watching these old episodes of Logan's Run on SCI-FI and have been really surprised how good they are. I was in my teens when they were first shown on Saturday evening on BBC1. This particular episode is a cracker involving time travel, learning what started the nuclear war in the first place and decisions of enormous magnitude. Great stuff! The story writing is really excellent, does anyone know who the main writer was, or were the stories taken from the book? It's quite fascinating to think about the model being used in these stories. Essentially Logan, Jessica and Rem are sampling different communities operating in isolation. They are the arbiters of whether the community "works" or not - after all they are looking for their own ideal community but if any they came across where top notch they would surely stay? In fact they often expose the communities as being run on false ideas with a dictatorial leader. Logan and Jessica are painted as "wise ones" who always knows what's best. The fact there is no story "arc" running between episodes (not until Babylon 5 does that method become established) actually adds to the mystery as each episode is a complete entity that will have a definite start and end.
