The Defenders (2017)

The Hand becomes the common enemy of a team formed of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Iron Fist.

'The Defenders' was a one-season-only event series, which probably aimed to familiarize fans of the 4 source series with the untried material. It's basically a sequel to 'Daredevil' and Jessica, Danny and Luke just help him fight a common enemy. In terms of style, it does not deviate from the mother series, and the plot is very similar too. It doesn't offer many surprises but it remains entertaining and is important for the introduction of season 3 of Daredevil.

Daredevil (2015–2018)

Matt Murdock is Daredevil, a blind lawyer who turns into a vigilante at night.

'Daredevil' is the series based on the Marvel universe that helped give birth to the MCU TV movement, now with its own streaming service. With many action and characters' crossovers with the other series in the same family, 'Daredevil' works well on its own, has interesting intrigues, a worthy villain and very well choreographed fight scenes. The only downsides are the occasional dragged and filler episodes at the beginning of each season, just until the viewers get a full feel of the new plot setup.
