There are some excellent comic book/superhero shows worth checking out on Netflix in case you're not caught up in time for the new fall seasons to kick off. My last article, I broke down some shows. Here is part two of my suggestions.

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

I can honestly say I watched the first five episodes of this show in its first season and quit because it just didn't feel anything like the Marvel cinematic universe. I never felt like I was missing out by not watching the show. Movies came out and I haven't been disappointed so who cares about the adventures of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Well if anyone's seen trailers for season five, there's an awesome surprise in the introduction of Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider is a character who had weak film adaptations (those bizarre Nicholas Cage flicks) so it's only right that Marvel gets to utilized the character for a TV show that could use a boost. Maybe the show has improved and I've just been missing out. Only thing is, I don't know anybody who watches the show, so that says something. But I'm all for this version of Ghost Rider. We're getting Robbie Reyes, a different rider than the traditional Johnny Blaze. Reyes is a tough LA kid with a twisted past so I'm intrigued to see what ABC has in store for the character. This pivotal character alone is making me binge through the seasons on Netflix so I can watch the new episodes. We'll see what happens but Ghost Rider and the agents take action September 20th on ABC.

GOTHAM

Another show that hasn't felt like it's taken flight as I'd like it to, this is the story of the forging years of Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon. There are strong elements about this crime-drama. The relationship between Bruce and Alfred is great (pretty much the heart of the show). And the character dynamics of the villains is interesting, some more than others. "Gotham" feels a tad over-the-top at times, in the sense that it seems Fox is really psyched they have a superhero show but instead of balancing tones they just said phooey and went full-comic book nuts in logic. It's entertaining, but I'm hopeful that maybe season three can give this series the momentum it deserves. The addition of the court of owls will should set the series on the right tracks. The court of owls are the most exciting thing to happen to the Batman mythos in the last decade so let's hope Fox delivers. The tale of Bruce's formative years continue to play out as "Gotham" airs September 19th on Fox. Better hurry with catching up on Netflix.

LUKE CAGE

Saving the best for last, Netflix and Marvel's Studios have had an impressive streak so far with "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones". "Luke Cage" is the third character to be introduced in a lineup that will lead up to a superhero crossover series, "The Defenders". Luke Cage was introduced in "Jessica Jones" and honestly, I was glued every time he was on screen. There are high expectations for the series and early reviews are raving about the show so it seems Netflix has struck gold yet again. Luke Cage is going to offer a very refreshing take in the superhero genre; an invincible African-American male who takes on the underworld set in Harlem, NY (imagine Cage and Black Panther side-by-side someday in the MCU). As Netflix continues to deliver the right dosage of grit in their series, it's refreshing creatively for the fans. Netflix is able to explore Marvel characters with a lens that we don't get in their cinematic universe (blame Disney). "Luke Cage" drops September 30th on Netflix. Until then catch up on two seasons of "Daredevil" and one season of "Jessica Jones". Be sure there'll be a set up for the last installment, "Iron Fist", of the Netflix run before all these heroes converge in "The Defenders" in 2017.

So that's the end of my suggestions of superhero shows to check out. Netlfix has all seasons available so your binging desires can be met. What are you most looking forward to? Was there any series I missed to mention? Leave some comments to continue the discussion.
