Cloak and Dagger

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Watched the first 4 episodes of this series. Or at least most of the 4th episode. I'm starting to think that Marvel and DC are exactly flipped. Marvel movies are really good with DC movies lacking. DC TV series are good with Marvel TV series lacking.

By the end of the third episode, the wife and I both were thinking if this didn't start looking like a show about a comic book soon, then we were going to bail on it. among the 3.5 episodes we'd watched, Dagger used her power once to stop a guy from raping her. That's been the extent of them using their abilities to do something worthwhile. I'd guess they exhibit their powers a couple times per episode each, but nothing really story impacting.

A little more than half way through the 4th episode, Cloak starts to lecture Dagger on her white privilege. At that point I looked over at the wife and she just said, "Kill it". So it's deleted and removed from our recording schedule.

That sells me on never watching it.

Not missing anything, in my opinion.
