The world has never been more in love with the Marvel Universe. Everything revolves around the Avengers, especially after the last few blockbusters. But how did this happen? If we have to be honest, it didn’t happen all at once. Marvel has been consolidating its empire since 2008, but we can’t forget the first comic book TV adaptations that made us fall in love with our favorite superheroes since the 1960s. Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, and Iron Man are unforgettable musts.

In an industry that’s always looking to innovate, Marvel has been putting a lot of money into producing quality TV shows to broadcast on popular streaming platforms like Netflix and ABC. The company has brought some of the most inspirational, entertaining, and strongest characters to our screens in different shows such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil.

However, this article is not here to give you the full details of the company’s work. It’s a list of the most successful Marvel TV shows you should watch to keep up with its new entries and old gems!

Ok, I understand that it’s a good TV show, but I love Norse Mythology and hate how Marvel butchered the fantastic mythos. If you really want some nice lore on Loki, read some of the myths, and I especially recommend the actual Ragnarok.

Jessica Jones

2015-2019 | 3 seasons
 

Starring Krysten Ritter, Rachael Taylor, and Eka Darville

Krysten Ritter stars in this Netflix original series Jessica Jones as a former superhero who opens her own detective agency. Jessica Jones is harsh and sarcastic, but she’s not without her vulnerabilities. And for once, we get to see a female character who isn’t defined by her romantic relationships. This series takes a darker tone than most of the MCU, but it has a compelling protagonist and some of the best writing we’ve seen for a Marvel series.

As a kid growing up in the 70's, where TV was limited to 3 channels, plus PBS, this show was awesome. If you look at now, think of a show like the Batman of the 60's without the great special effects and dialogue
