Finished binging the series. It was alright, could have been better. Too much focus on Danny rand and Jessica Jones character who's series I loved felt pretty out of place. Anyone else have a chance to watch yet?
Finished it yesterday. I agree with the sentiment so far...pretty "meh" at best. Let's just say I'm glad it was only 8 episodes.
It's really too bad the plot centered so much around Iron Fist, given the casting choice they made for that character. The actor who plays Danny is just awful and really brought the show down. That perpetual hurt-child scowl was unbearable again, just like it was in Iron Fist. Such a punch-able face.
I'd rate Defenders a notch above Iron Fist (barely), but nowhere near as good as Daredevil, Jessica Jones or Luke Cage.
Season 1 of Agents of Shield was terrible, the worst season of the show.I hate to say it but the entire Marvel TV lineup probably gets canceled and critically reviled if it doesn't have the blind brand loyalty going for it. Daredevil when at its best is pretty solid but the rest of what I've watched has been bad. Admittedly I only got one season into Agents of Shield but I thought it was pretty terrible. If anyone has never seen some older sci fi series like X-Files, TNG or DS9 I really would strongly recommend them over whatever Marvel TV has coming. I've never watched Dr Who and I'm going to give that a try vs more Marvel.

Totally agree on Agents of Shield, after season one it gets so much better. Grant Ward turning was a jaw dropping moment for me and got a permanent fan because of it.
No Gotham?Again, I haven't seen Defenders yet, but there is no doubt that I'm at least fairly well-versed in all the Superhero shows beings how I watch pretty much all of them (excluding Gotham).

- Daredevil (Season 1)
- Arrow (Season 2)
- Arrow (Season 1)
- Legion (Season 1)
