2 episodes in, I'm liking it so far. Definitely more so than Jessica Jones at this point.

Finished it today - enjoyed it a ton. Has me ready to re-binge everything again. Netflix is doing a great job with these series.

4 episodes in . I find his child like demeanor slightly annoying but i am hoping he matures over the season. The Martial arts is not of the quality of Daredevil IMHO.

Spoiler
Dont hold your breathe, binged last night and I was like WTF with this guy. For growing up in a monastery, you would think he would lose the spoiled brat attitude.


I heard this got mixed reviews, I see why imo. So many avoidable script choices even for a comic book adaptation. Additionally, DD fights scenes were EPIC, WTH happened here?

A couple episodes in and I quite enjoy it. I certainly have to echo the sentiments here that the negative reviews seem to motivated more by the casting as opposed to the actual product. Thus far I would rank it above Jessica Jones but short of DD and Cage; but they are all within degrees of one another to be sure.

6 episodes in and so far I see nothing wrong with the show other than the relatively slow pacing. All of these Netflix/Marvel shows are guilty of that at certain points though. Hopefully it will pick up soon.

The slow pacing is fine with me as long as it amounts to good character development. The only thing that I'm bothered by is a boring narrative shift focusing on less interesting secondary characters. 6 episodes in on Iron Fist and I'm not seeing this but it's one of the things that bothered me with Daredevil S1 with the bloated emphasis on Foggy & Karen was beyond boring . That said Ward & Joy Meechum and Colleen Wing are far more interesting to me.

fight scenes and script are pretty weak. I'm in episode 6. Still hoping to like it. Finn is ok given he had a short time preparing for the role. his moves are too stiff and dull. hopefully next season they fix that.

Finished S1 and feel they lost a step with this entry. Fight scenes are very vanilla and flat, music does not match or help at all and the writers took a little too much liberty with the origin and the overall story line for my tastes

Agreed. Netflix/Marvel only uses a shred of what it is that makes up Iron Fist in the comics. I have 2 more episodes to finish & haven't been terribly impressed with any of them. It is however, pretty watchable. I'm entertained. He never seems like an accomplished warrior, ever. More like a teenager who happens to know some Kung-Fu.
