   It's very well written but the storyline moves too slow for me. I know   
   what the big reveal is, I read it on the wiki, but I'm still not   
   interested at this point.   
      
   Season 2 may be better.   
      
   I'd like to see more "expanded movies" (as you say) - Jessica Jones,   
   Daredevil, Game of Thrones, etc since you can only put so much into a film.   
      
   Plus I prefer shows that have a beginning, a middle, and a definite   
   resolution over shows that continue on well past their due date. Like   
   most sitcoms and dramas!
