It has been updated to include the latest Marvel series (our new No.
),Agatha All Along.
Weve been absolutelyinundated with Marvel showsover the last several years.
Well-known superheroes and cult-favorite characters alike have been showing up in seemingly every corner of television.
This led to many adaptations with very different creative visions, not to mention levels of quality.
The result of all those deals with different production companies?
Still, there are a whole lot of Marvel shows to catch up on, several with multiple seasons.
Its a daunting prospect for the Marvel neophyte.
Which ones are worth viewing, and which are skippable?
Fear not, dear reader, heres every single one of them, ranked.
24.Iron Fist(20172018)
24.
Finn Joness casting in the titular role was announced February 25, 2016, and filming began in April.
Give me something to work with here.
Those issues couldve been overcome, honestly season two was proof enough of that.
23.Inhumans (2018)
23.
Inhumansis the Fetch of the Marvel Universe.
Its a shame, really the high concept is great!
Its fun, its got seeds for discovery and wonder in it.
22.The Falcon and the Winter Soldier(2021)
22.
Oh, where to begin?
LikeInhumans,TFATWSwas asking us to root for the wrong side.
21.The Defenders(2017)
21.
It was too good to be true, really.
The various Marvel Netflix shows had their problems, but they were still shaping up to be stunning achievements.
Even the teams dunking on Iron Fist couldnt save it.
20.Secret Invasion(2023)
20.
It was a risky move to adapt a popular comics story line without most of its chief characters.
Director Ali Selim was even instructed to refrain from reading the original.
What Marvel came up with instead for its take onInvasion of the Body Snatchersdoesnt work.
All in all, its a surprisingly accurate rendition of the state of real-life foreign policy.
19.Helstrom (2020)
19.
Youd be forgiven for forgetting thatHelstromexisted.
Debuting with little fanfare and to even less critical warmth,Helstromwas not long for this earth.
Still, it does feature some decent character work, and has a devoted cult following online.
18.The Punisher(20172019)
18.
Unfortunately, the rest is just dull.
17.Marvels Agents of SHIELD (20132020)
17.
Truly,Agents of SHIELDwas doing the best it could with what it had.
16.Echo(2024)
16.
After all, if they make a statement, they might have to take a side.
Instead, by the end ofEchos five episodes, we know that Kingpin is Bad and Family is Good.
Thanks, I guess.
15.Runaways(20172019)
15.
14.The Gifted (20172019)
14.
13.She-Hulk: Attorney at Law(2022)
13.
The inclusion of Daredevil and a number of false teases about Wolverine made for great moments of levity.
Still, the individual episodes that do carry the season are weighed down by the duds.
12.Legion(20172019)
12.
AlongsideThe Gifted,Legionwas the other big X-Men-related show at the time.
11.Luke Cage(20162018)
11.
Luke Cagewas a Netflix Defenders show that seemed eternally on the verge of greatness, but never quite there.
10.Cloak & Dagger(20182019)
10.
9.Hawkeye(2021)
9.
Hawkeyehad a hard road ahead of it.
8.Moon Knight(2022)
8.
Disney+sMoon Knightwas set up to be a failure in every way.
In fact, its proven to be a cleverer show than anticipated.
Sure, the suits look a little goofy, butMoon Knightsgot heart where it counts.
7.Agent Carter(20152016)
7.
Like a wartime cake recipe,Agent Cartermade a little go a long way.
6.WandaVision(2021)
6.
The first of Marvels Disney+ offerings,WandaVisionwas in an unenviable position.
Would the pilot show of the program responsible for so many other cancellations be a success?
How would it navigate the story of Wandas magically created children with her android husband, Vision?
We can get you Maria Hill and Sif.
WithWandaVision, all that changed.
Marvel (2022)
5.
Marvel, starring newcomer Iman Vellani, is no different.
And that last little bit aboutKamalas genetic code?
Paired with that was an unexpected grace in execution.Ms.
4.Loki(2021)
4.
3.Daredevil(20152018)
3.
The first show of Marvels Netflix deal, and the one that opened the door.
When news of its cancellation came down, it truly felt like a shame.
Now, with Charlie Coxs cameo inSpider-Man: No Way Home, who knows what could happen?
2.Jessica Jones(20152019)
2.
Jones didnt dress in skimpy tights or run around with a codename.
1.Agatha All Along(2024)
1.
I cant wait to see what Schaeffer does next, because Im onboard for it no matter what.
