Jessica Henwick Reveals 'The Defenders' Is Partly Set Outside New York & May Unite The Daughters Of The Dragon!
The last three years have seen Marvel Netflix building up their own dark, brooding corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's all been heading for this year's epic eight-episode "event series," The Defenders, and Marvel's been rather enjoying keeping things pretty quiet.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4: This Major Character Death Just Raised the Stakes in 'Agents of Hydra'
'No Regrets' was a breathtaking episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., possibly one of the best in the show's four seasons. It was also a stunning rejoinder to critics; many have complained that, with the team locked inside a Matrix-like digital world, nothing that happens actually matters. That argument's pretty hard to make after this stunning episode!

Sherlock vs. Elementary: Why Benedict Cumberbatch Fans Should Give the CBS Series a Chance
Few characters have stood the test of time like Sherlock Holmes. I've loved Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories since childhood; one of my proudest possessions is a 1928 collected edition of his short stories.

'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.': Marvel's Flagship TV Show
Launching in 2013, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the first #Marvel television series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The first, Noah Hawley's #Legion, was a dramatic series loosely based on the comic-book character of David Haller, Professor Xavier's son. The second, The Gifted, looks very different indeed...

'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 4: Can S.H.I.E.L.D. Ever Be A Legitimate Organization Again?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The "Agents of #Hydra" arc is coming to a close, with (most of) our favorite agents returning to the real world.
