There have been too many superhero movies and shows, including those from Marvel. However, there are always more superheroes for some of us, as we need them in real life. We like to be wrapped around the eternal fight between good and evil and the superheroes' extraordinary powers. This might be because we all nourish the child inside us once obsessed with comic books or simply like this type of TV shows and movies. Nevertheless, let's check the best Marvel TV shows, according to us.
10. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Genre: Action/Comedy | |
Seasons/episodes (as of 2023): 1/6 | |
Has it ended: Yes | |
Spinoffs: None | |
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier teamed up to resolve some issues, work together and get along. After the death of Captain America, the world has decided that his successor must be proclaimed. However, Falcon and the Winter Soldier have something to say regarding that.
Along with finding a worthy replacement to fill the shoes of Captain America, they fight the villain or, in this case, the angsty teenager who kills for no apparent reason. The fans rated the show poorly, saying it's too political and messy. Thus, this is probably the reason why it had only one season.
9. Loki
Genre: Action/Thriller | |
Seasons/episodes (as of 2023): 2/12 | |
Has it ended: No | |
Spinoffs: None | |
The villain we must love! After the events in "Avengers: Endgame," an alternate version of Loki was created in a new timeline. The plot revolves around Loki's attempts to destroy timekeepers and find the love of his life - a female version of himself.
Tom Hiddleston portrays the role of Loki like in movies, while Owen Willson is an excellent addition as Mobius. We must admit that we didn't adore "Loki" at first glimpse, but it has a lot of incredible scenes. The first season has six episodes, and it was released in 2021.
8. Iron Fist

Along with his incredible kung-fu skills, he holds a mystical force, the famous Iron Fist. In the absence of Matt Murdock/Daredevil, he defends the metropolis from the criminals.
On his journey, he is assisted by Colleen Wing, owner of Chikara Dojo and a martial artist. Unfortunately, "Iron Fist" was canceled after just two seasons. Although it had discouraging reviews, it gained a remarkable fan base and survived for longer than some great shows.

Despite this, the threats against the world become more bizarre and dangerous with the rise of new supervillains. Consequently, the new superheroes must save the day, as each has incredible skills. The series was canceled after seven seasons.
6. WandaVision

Vision and Wanda Maximoff, two super-powered beings living their ideal residential lives, begin to suspect that the whole shebang is not as it seems… After Wanda has a mental breakdown in Avengers, Vision dies, and she creates an alternate reality in which he and their twins live in a suburban town.
Hence, Wanda and Vision are happy and surrounded by cheerful residents, much like in the old sitcoms. However, they start to suspect that something is way off. "WandaVision" had only one season (as planned), giving Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany leading roles. It seems like everyone loves it!
5. The Defenders
Genre: Action/Drama | |
Seasons/episodes (as of 2023): 1/8 | |
Has it ended: Yes | |
Spinoffs: None | |
An extraordinary group of individuals with special powers teams up to defend New York City. Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist get together to fight the common enemy – the Hand. These solitary heroes always act independently except when the mutual cause is more significant than their personal tasks.
These four superheroes come across each other in other series. Still, the Defenders are all about working together, as the enemy is too powerful. It's exciting to watch these particular solitary heroes work together. Sadly, the "Defenders" had only a single season.
4. The Punisher
Genre: Action/Crime Drama | |
Seasons/episodes (as of 2023): 2/26 | |
Has it ended: Yes | |
Spinoffs: None | |
Frank Castle, AKA the Punisher, has PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), seeking revenge after losing his family. He's tormented by the great family tragedy and stops at nothing to punish those responsible. Hence, he's the most loved anti-hero. Although, when watching his cruel ways of executing criminals, we may wonder if the Punisher is good or evil?
Although he uses some harsh methods, in the end, he's just a good guy who suffered so much injustice in his life. Until now, we only got two seasons. Although it has been canceled, we hope there will be a third one, as Jon Bernthal's performance is excellent.

Therefore, he strives to make his neighborhood Hell's Kitchen safer. As a lawyer, he has loyal friends, and as a vigilante, he fights crime independently. While the original "Daredevil" movie was a flop, this is one of the best Marvel TV shows on Netflix with excellent scenography.

Then, she opens up a detective agency dealing with people with unique abilities. However, she's an alcoholic with super strength struggling to get through each day. Yet, she's always on the good side.
Krysten Ritter did a great job portraying Jessica as a sarcastic, rough-on- edges person who is sometimes totally despicable. Yet, at all of her self-absorbance, deep down, she is a caring and good person.
The eternal struggle between good and evil will always have an audience. Moreover, Marvel's superheroes are unique and special, often bordering between heroes and anti-heroes and constantly tormented by a personal tragedy.
