IF YOU LOVE SUPER TEAM-UPS: DAREDEVIL, JESSICA JONES OR LUKE CAGE

The Defenders are coming to Netflix Aug. 18 and ComicCon’s big Hall H this weekend. The Netflix series is a team-up of the four heroes who have had their own shows on the streaming service: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. To prep for the new series, it’s worth bingeing at least one of the others. You can skip the critically panned Iron Fist, but if you like martial arts, try Daredevil; if you like psychological thrillers, Jessica Jones is probably for you; and if you liked Mahershala Ali in Moonlight, see him as a villain in Luke Cage. Stream all three on Netflix.
