- CreatorGreg BerlantiMarc GuggenheimAndrew KreisbergStarsStephen AmellKatie CassidyDavid RamseySpoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead when his yacht is lost at sea. He returns five years later a changed man, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow.Season One is a gem, season two gets a little crazy and three just goes off the rails. If you're looking for a dark action filled show Arrow is it. If you're wanting something a little lighter and less "doom and gloom", look elsewhere. (at some other titles listed!)
- CreatorGreg BerlantiGeoff JohnsAndrew KreisbergStarsGrant GustinCandice PattonDanielle PanabakerAfter being struck by lightning, Barry Allen wakes up from his coma to discover he's been given the power of super speed, becoming the Flash, and fighting crime in Central City.One of the best shows on the small screen, The Flash brings a lighter tone to the table compared to Arrow and is one of my top recommendations. Tom Cavanagh shines in this series, a MUST watch for all DC fans and casual viewers.
- CreatorKim CoghillAndrew De AngelisJeff DetskyStarsTatiana MaslanyDylan BruceJordan GavarisA streetwise hustler is pulled into a compelling conspiracy after witnessing the suicide of a girl who looks just like her.Tatiana Maslany is amazing in Orphan Black, by the time you've finished Season one you'll have forgotten that 9/10 of the characters we're all played by the one stellar actress. A must watch for sci-fi fans and for those that aren't, Orphan Black will convert you. Prepare to be amazed.
- CreatorMaurissa TancharoenJed WhedonJoss WhedonStarsClark GreggMing-Na WenBrett DaltonThe missions of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.Unfortunately this show can be a struggle to get through at first, but please get past the first 10 episodes because the back 10+ episodes will knock your socks right off, even if they're zip-tied on. The cast is spot on and the show also intertwines into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I tend to struggle on the first 9 episodes but then its worth the effort. Iain De Caestecker does an amazing job and I'm looking forward to following Fitz in Season 3.
- CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.Marvel's Arrow equivalent minus the Mirakuru. The casting is spot on, the script and visuals are top notch also. Definitely worth a Netflix subscription just for Daredevil. There wasn't a particular stand out as all of the cast have great episodes for their characters. The only downside is Daredevil is only 10 episodes a year :(
- CreatorStephen CarpenterDavid GreenwaltJim KoufStarsDavid GiuntoliRussell HornsbySilas Weir MitchellA homicide detective discovers he is a descendant of hunters who fight supernatural forces.Okay, so the Pilot might not be a huge enticement to continue watching (the haircut too haha) but believe me it is worth the two seasons. I didn't really get into the third season, but I will eventually get into it. A great supernatural & procedural show at first. All that is missing is an episode to get the audience to care about Juliette early on. Anyway, a great watch. :)
- CreatorSam EsmailStarsRami MalekChristian SlaterCarly ChaikinElliot, a brilliant but unstable cyber-security engineer and vigilante hacker, becomes a key figure in a complex game of global chaos when he and his shadowy allies try to take down the corrupt corporation his company is paid to protect.A great new show that has filled a void in the hacking department. Well worth the watch, although I'm going to have to watch Season 2 to just grasp the last few episodes. It starts off on track and then just leaves you in a pit of confusion. Good luck! It is a highly recommended show at the moment, but some would say it went a bit over the crazy box.
- CreatorAaron KorshStarsGabriel MachtPatrick J. AdamsMeghan MarkleOn the run from a drug deal gone bad, brilliant college dropout Mike Ross finds himself working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers.Two words: Specter Ross. If only. A refreshing take on law procedural turned law firm politics & drama. I can only hope for a "Specter Ross" spin-off once it finishes. One of the very few shows that can keep your WHOLE FAMILY (over 16) glued to the TV for a day-long binge watch.
