Iron Fist came out last weekend (managed to crank it out in a day *high five*) and I did not see what the critics were bitching about. It was a good show!
It’s been getting mixed reviews from viewers. The people who are not liking it/ don’t know what to think right off the bat are people who can’t wait for like…five episodes for the show to pick up. I enjoyed it, and I highly encourage that you watch it and ignore the critics.
Now, possibly the one thing that the haters are not liking about the show is the story. Yes, I will admit the story took a few episodes to pick up, but that didn’t make me hate on it. I enjoyed all the episodes! The story was very intriguing because it had so many things going on.
We had Danny trying to get his company back; Ward Meachum plotting with his father; Colleen being a cage fighter; Danny looking into the death of his family; and fighting the Hand. I mean this season kept me entertained and intrigued!
Unlike the story, the acting was sort of a hit and miss with some people. Finn Jones, Jessica Henwick, and Jessica Stroup (to name a few) were awesome! Possibly the only two people whose acting wasn’t at full percent were Tom Pelphrey (Ward) and David Wenham(Harold). But their story arc was very entertaining and kept me hooked!
The actors had great chemistry! Finn and Jessica’s scenes were the best out of all the interactions in my opinion. They were awesome. You could just feel the romantic tension between them. I’m totally shipping Danny and Colleen. I like them better than Danny and Misty. Don’t know why, I just do. Maybe it’s because Misty looks older than Danny. Ward and Harold, even though their acting wasn’t 100%, they had some great interactions together. Unlike Danny and Colleen, you can feel Ward’s hatred towards his father. (Photo credit: Metro)
Even though it got little action this season, the fights were still great to watch! The choreography was great and they were really well paced and intense! Possibly the most intense fight scenes came towards the end of the season. Possibly my favorite fight scene was when Danny and Davos were fighting in front of the gate. I hope we get more of type of fight scenes. Danny the freaking Iron Fist…he should be taking on freaking armies of people and not like four or six people at once. Or he should be fighting more people like The Bride of Nine Spiders (She was that girl with dressed in black leather) and The Scythe (He was the guy who killed all those people while singing Take on Me).

Overall, is this series worth checking out? If you have patience and are willing to spend some time with this series then absolutely! If you aren’t willing to wait a few episodes then I don’t think this series is for you.
