It depends, the Marvel Netflix stuff as a whole is better, but the DC shows are generally more fun. Basically. Although all live action superhero TV suffers from the same two problems: too many episodes and not enough money to pull off the SFX needed to make superpowers look decent. |

I think the DC shows should move to the 12 episode format
IMO 20+ episodes is too long

I don't have Netflix, so my only exposure to the MCU TV Shows is Agents of Shield and Agent Carter. So the DCTVU wins out easily there.

I'm a go with the DC shows. They seem to be allowed to take more chances with the source material, and they make use of the history/rogues to a greater extent. Deathstroke from season 2 of Arrow may be my favorite villain on any show. Flash is doing a 2 part Gorilla city episode this year, and Legends has the Legion of Doom. It's just a more expansive universe.
With that said I love the Netflix shows. Both seasons of Daredevil make me very happy.

Marvel. Only show I really lost interest in was Agent Carter.
Only show I actually enjoy from DC is Gotham.

I actually love both. Netflix is for me the top tier stuff for Marvel, then Agent Carter. SHIELD was so unsatisfying in the third season, I haven't even watched the fourth. D.C. Stuff is OK, especially Flash, but only the CW stuff. Couldn't make it past three episodes of Gotham. So unlikable characters.
So... depends on tastes.

I probably asked this before Even as someone who likes the show, it's batshit insane with more swerves than a year's worth of Russo booking. It started off as a relatively standard police/mob drama with a sprinkling of Batman lore... then when it didn't quite get the ratings and critical acclaim hoped for they started throwing a ton of crazy into the mix, and for the most part it's worked. Pretty much every episode has been well-received by critics from the start of season two onwards, but it's definitely not purist-friendly, and almost every character is kind of an asshole one way or another. Definitely a show you're either down with or utterly despise. |

So essentially it's a weird mix of critics liking it despite them getting away from their original vision but something about the show just doesn't click right ? Yea seems like one of those things where you either like it or you just throw your hands up and say f*** it. With a show like that you might as well take liberties and create your own lore/universe. |

As much as I love Daredevil and Luke Cage, I gotta go DC.
The Flash and Supergirl are a lot of fun and so well cast (Jesse L. Martin, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanaugh and Melissa Benoist are so good), while Arrow - when it's on and it's really been on again in Season 5 - is outstanding.

Bingo. The premise of the show was always kinda iffy to begin with, since it's basically the origin story of every Batman character in existence told from an off-model perspective. Some of it works, some of it doesn't, but for what it's worth I enjoy it. The cast is stellar, and most of the performances have been top notch, so I can forgive the fact that it's a bizarre alt-universe Batman-before-Batman. |
