This Week's Question: Marvel's Netflix series have often been criticized for running too long, at 13 episodes each. But their team-up series, The Defenders, is only 8 episodes, despite having much more to cover. How many episodes do you think The Defenders should have? and how about the other Marvel/Netflix series?
The Week's News is TVEnthusiast's weekly roundup of the news that affects the shows you love.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
