I'm a big House of Cards fan. I tried Orange is the New Black several times, due to people not shutting up about it, but I just cannot get into it. Women doing prison things is not entertaining. Daredevil looks kind of dumb, but maybe I should give it a chance.

Orange is the New Black is literally "muh strong women" in television format, but it also capitalizes on racial and sexual identity politics to a gross degree. And not surprisingly, like most clumsy vehicles for political subtext, it totally fails at being entertaining. Somehow they suckered me into almost an entire season before my moment of clarity on this. I guess I'll never be immune to hype.
