I am a big Iron Fist fan, but this was BAD - 1 out of 5 stars from me and I am being nice.
I'm on episode 5, and got to a point where I have to force myself to watch it just for completists sake. I have finally decided to just let the rest go, and watch a summary of events and fights in youtube. My time is too limited at the moment

Good call - I felt compelled to make it through because it was Iron Fist, but in no way worth the trouble and time - it pretty much just gets more frustratingly bad.

I tried and couldn't make it through. I watched the first three before giving up. Other than Daredevil I couldn't get through any of the other Marvel netflick shows.

Wow I am watching it and so far I am enjoying it..4 episodes in. I agree Danny is kind of an ass but so was Jessica Jones. Its not the best writing also but overall I think its pretty good we will see what happens. I will admit I seem to be in the minority on this one

Agree with you (4 episodes in) but once purple man comes into Jessica Jones the show is AMAZING.

Wow could not have said it better myself

Couldn't resist throwing a mask on him in the new Defenders poster.

Now see, with some slight downgrading, a mask could have/should work perfectly.

Can I, and should I watch Defenders without watching this?

Sure, you can, I won't personaly though. You'll be in the dark with where the Danny Rand character is coming from and his relationships. Seems the narratives in Daredevil and Iron Fist tie into Defenders more directly than Cage and Jessica Jones due to The Hand's involvement.
