Jessica Henwick still steals the show, she's phenomenal and pretty much carried the show just the like the first season, however I do get the feeling she's becoming a bit too cocky, I'm not a fan of Jessica Jones because it's just about "me me me, all about me!" and I hope she doesn't go that route.
    Overall a much better structured season! ...one definitely worth checking out..

    This show went from bad to worse with season 2. The main character is weak, pathetic and easily led around. Villian is predictable. Spends to much time developing the boring supporting cast for obvious agenda. Terrible show all around.

    If Misty inappropriately smirks one more time, or Joy does her inappropriate laugh, I think I am just going to stop watching Marvel anything on Netflix. Perhaps binge watching CW quality material is not a good idea after all. I miss the days when Netflix was sparsely offering quality, instead of shoveling quantity.    … Expand

    Season 2 gets off to a slow start because the writing needs serious work. Pacing is slow, tension is lacking in regards to the core plot, and many of the scenes just don't matter. The episodes have stretches where acting and dialog sink to the bottom of the barrel.

    More terrible SJW pandering. Let's just throw away the actual character because he's a white male. I used to think the people saying there was a white make genocide in the works were crazy, but I'm starting to be convinced.

This show is a complete mess of SJW garbage, bad acting, poor choreography and horrendous writing. The only way they can even salvage the character at this point would be to do a heroes for hire series with Luke Cage, because I can’t stand one more second of the immortal Colleen or the atrocious storyline they’ve delivered. Iron Fist isn’t a hero, he’s his girlfriends sidekick, and I have no desire to watch one more second of them ruining a classic marvel character to push an agenda.… Expand

    Terrible writing and a lack of budget are this shows real problem. Every fight scene is the same, the poor dialog and awful writing make the second season of Iron Fist is worse than the first.

    Do not waste your life and free time on a show this awful and poorly done.

    This is the equivalent of DC ever saying, "Hey let;s make Lois Lane the new 'Superman' cause that would be so totally woke!"

    Sad to see that Netflix has decided to go full on social justice with this show. Really disappointing,

    Typhoid Mary was a poor villain choice and misplaced in Iron Fist She also never truly took on the Typhoid Mary persona. Instead we just got a bad ass woman with split personality, one of whom could kick Iron Fist's ass fairly easily.

    Poor casting for Davos. In the comics the Steel Serpent was Asian and he was a lot bigger than Iron Fist, how did we get an Indian guy with an English accent who's actually smaller than Finn Jones?

    This season was far better than the first. The actors feel more connected to their characters and there is a sense of flow between them. Pacing was an issue as times, but the fights were good and the plot was entertaining and original. THE ENDING WAS EPIC! Highly recommend.

While the MCU is going bonkers with Ragnarok and Infinity War, the TV division doesn’t let them go down the same road and let Iron Fist be a crazy, over-the-top, action and effects extravaganza.

    First is the continued, horrible miscasting of Jones. He’s like the anti-badass and no amount of training or choreography could fix his blandness and lack of physicality. And once again, there is very little continuity across the shows. Still no Luke Cage or Daredevil. Misty pops in for an episode or two. Colleen Wing is criminally underused. The villains and their henchmen are boring, unmemorable, and hardly pose a threat, while we get more of the Meechum's sitting boardrooms scheming and plotting laughably bad and vague business schemes that don't amount to anything.

    Between this, and the lackluster Season Two of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, The Punisher, Defenders, etc, they really need to shake up the TV division because they are seriously lacking vision. Marvel Netflix needs to focus less on making grimdark, realistic, soap opera stories and embrace the comic bookness like their movies, do and find some differences in tonality and motivation. Marvel Netflix characters are either too wracked with guilt, completely conflicted, milquetoast sensitives, or suffering from mommy/daddy issues. This isn't the DCU. How about letting them be superheroes now and then? Let them grow a bit and have some characteristics that aren’t based entirely on their horrible past experiences. Let Iron Fist be a crazy, over-the-top, action series like it initially was in the comics with Luke by his side. They should have rolled this and the other Defenders into an ensemble Heroes for Hire show instead and let that be the Avengers for the small screen and establishing a firm continuity and teamwork between the characters like they do in the MCU.    … Expand

They shouldve kicked their asses and let social services deal with the deliquents. SJW pandering to the max in this one.

    The problem starts with the miscasting of Danny Rand itself. Finn Jones still can't seem to be able to learn choreography which makes the fighting scenes look dreadful.

It's mind-boggling how his acting can make good actors look like bad actors. On top of that it still seems like he hasn't been to a gym once in his life which if you look at Daredevil, Thor, Black Panther, Captain America and hell even Iron Man are being put on a strict training schedule and diet to look the part. Which is not the case for Iron Fist. I'm not saying he's supposed to be as buff as a Thor but at least look like a fighter.

    Another thing that bothers me is the casting of Davos. He's probably the most un-intimidating antagonist I've ever seen. A 5'7 cuddly Indian dude with a British accent. But at least he is more ripped than Iron Fist.

    Now about the show itself. There are so many unnecessary scenes that make the pace of the show slow down so much that my mind drifts off every couple of minutes. When watching a show like Mr. Robot even the scenes where there are no dialogue you'll get information about what's going on. Everything in a scene is there for a reason, like lighting, position of the character, background music and much more. But in this show it makes you aware of the fact that you just wasted 15 seconds on people walking through doors, going up stairs or whatever, staring at nothing. (Not sure if that made any sense lol) What I'm trying to say is that a 50 minute episode could've been cut down to 35 and you wouldn't have missed anything.

    All in all it feels like a chore to watch; which is a bummer because I've liked all Marvel shows until now. (Except Jessica Jones Season 02)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only good thing about this season was Davos. Danny and his girlfriend are essentially fighting on behalf of the Triad to control the Lower East Side for some reason.

    It begins with Danny kind of peace keeping and trying to arrange a parlay between different Triad sanctions, who literally murder innocent people in the street. Even after seeing this, Danny still works to keep the different Triad factions in power. Davos comes along, cripples the Triad and tries to remove their hold on the city. And somehow Davos is the bad guy?

    I could not root for Danny or Colleen. I did not understand their motivation and both of them seem like the least bright people in every room. The showrunners were smart to give the actor who plays Davos a major storyline this season, he is the only actor which commands your attention. I find myself zoning out when Danny and Colleen are on screen. In fact, I had to check and remind myself of their names before writing this review and I have seen both seasons!    … Expand

    A very small improvement over the first season and the fact that now there are only 10 episodes helps very little.

    The story is slow and drag things a lot. The first three episodes are completely disposable. It takes a good rhythm starting with the fourth but loses its course towards the ending before the hasty, anticlimatic and poor conclusion.

After watching the show, it does succeed far more as a show than the first season and the first reason would be because I bought more into Finn Jones as the character of Danny Rand, he was far more compelling and the acting was a lot better to. Jessica Henwick was great as Colleen Wing and I personally think that these 2 actors work very well together. The next big plus is the character of Davis, I thought he was a very compelling villain that brought this real tension to the show. Not that he was scary or intimidating but you feel his emotional stretch to why he thinks what he's doing is right. The action scenes in this show are also far better than they were in season 1. The choreography was far better and the actual sequences felt more real and grounded. Sometime there are a few to many cuts and sometimes the choreography is a bit choppy, but overall they are pretty good. The story is far more interesting and is more fast paced, because I think the idea of doing 10 episodes actually helped the show flow better. Many of the other supporting are far more compelling than they originally were. The character of Ward was far more compelling and actually did stuff, he wasn't just the angry business man who drank.

    While though this show does offer so much to love and appreciate there are also a few things that don't really work. This show does struggle when trying to flesh out some actual emotion, there are several times when the show goes from being fun and serious to trying to make the audience cry. However these scenes come out very bland. My next big issue was that some of the supportive characters had weak motivations for doing what they were doing. Particularly in the character of joy, there are several scenes were she tries to explain the reason why she's angry, but they don't do a good job of making you get behind her and see from her point of view.

    The show does still have some pacing problems, there are a couple of episodes were the show just drags, and doesn't even offer some further plot detail or character background.

    So overall I enjoyed the show, I don't know how I feel about the ending, parts of me say it was cool, but other parts say it just sucked. So I'm mixed on the ending. But overall this is a fun season, not a great one, but fun    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If the first season of ironFist was embarrassing this is a little less, but we are always there.
    Netflix has a big problem: it must continue producing series and films to keep its library up to date. But how do you produce a burst while maintaining a good quality?
    And in fact Iron Fist 2 is just the last season of a list of mediocre series produced by Netflix in recent times.
    If you are not teenagers, and your film culture is discreet, this season will be really hard to finish.
    It must be said that the action scenes and fights have improved (it wouldn’t take a lot) compared to the previous one.
    But removed the fight scenes and some dialogues, in the end, it seems to be in front of a soap opera in which: the dialogues are laughable or worse, the characters change deployment or ideas on each episode to eventually return to the previous ideas, and consequently the development of the plot is always void.
    10 episodes of which 6 could be cut quietly without changing anything from the second to the ninth.
    The characters speak, speak, speak constantly, but these dialogues are useless.
    For example (SPOILER): your boyfriend disappears, maybe he was killed. What would you do? One expects scenes in which the characters are desperate to find it looking in every corner. No, for the writers of IronFist it doesn’t work like that. Colleen and Detective Knight search for Daniel walking around the city drinking coffee and chatting. (FINE SPOILER)
    Seriously? Why should producers accept a script like that?
    But the quality of which I spoke and to which we had been accustomed?
    There is no more.
    Of course, those who work Netflix certainly know more than me with statistics in hand, and will know that these 10 series episodes are a winning format. And maybe they will never read all this.
    But why not cut off the superfluous, making fewer episodes.
    Making 6 episodes, at least one person would be able to finish the series even if it is not to his liking.
    To conclude, as these series of defenders are connected to each other, and if you are passionate like me of DareDevil, Iron Fist 2 can be watched quietly seeing the first two episodes, the last 30 seconds of the eighth episode and the last two without lose something important.
    P.S. A personal praise to Jessica Henwick that despite the banality of the dialogues turns out to be a great actress in perspective.
    P.P.S. The last 5 minutes with the final cliffangher make you want to watch the third series, hoping Netflix can improve the product.    … Expand

    Now, there were episodes where the acting was really bad and it looked like no effort was put into it at all, most of the "iron fist" fight scenes were just horrible, overall, I easily predicted what would happen by the end, it wasn't as exciting as the first season and I didn't get any goose bumps from a "iron fist" explosion scene because it didn't look that... powefull.
    Hopefully the next season will be executed at its best.

    I do understand why they cancel this show. Sadly I like him in the defenders, And I only started watching the show after the defenders. Season 1 was So-so, and this I dont even bother to see the end.

    Season 2 did a really good job on convincing that the protagonist who was trained for his whole life to become The Immortal Iron Fist doesn't deserve its power

    De primeras, los planos y la fotografía muy bien cuidados.
    Me gusta mucho Iron Fist como personaje, sus valores, pero creo que en la serie no se plasma bien su relato, no lo saben contar bien, una narrativa muy atascada.

    Las interpretaciones son muy buenas, tienen algunos detalls, como Bloody Mery, ese personaje es una locura, y la actriz más.
    El arco de Ward es muy bueno, el que más interesa y de las mejores construcciones junto a Colleen.
    Hay tramas que dejan mucho de lado y vuelven al espectador al final, que ya se habían olvidado, está bien que las resuelvan, pero no las dejes tanto de lado.
    Me falta ese capítulo especial que resalte o deje ese momentazo que te queda grabado, pero no existe.
    Cosas buenas: coreografías de combate, el héroe, el guion, la duración, solo 10 episodios y no 13, y el reparto.
    Cosas malas: el relato del personaje y todo lo relacionado con la fantasía.    … Expand

    Many will disagree, but this season was better than the first. I was really interested in watching it and was surprised when I saw the ratings on the Internet.

    Its fight scenes vastly improve upon the garbage disposal-like quality of jump cuts masquerading as brawls in season one, and the writing has moved away from the mind-numbing exposition that characterized much of season one, trusting the audience to understand what’s happening without dialogue constantly reminding them. However, Iron Fist’s second season isn’t exactly good when in the context of television outside of Iron Fist. Parts of it are still staggeringly clunky.

    More so than in any other Netflix superhero show, Iron Fist never figures out how to build an aesthetic that reconciles its naturalistic performances and its dialogue, which tends to fall into one of two categories: no-frills information delivery or failed cleverness.

    Thanks to reinvigorated fighting and spotlights yielded to the real stars, Iron Fist improves on its first season. ... The show also uncovers a bigger problem. Its lead character doesn’t deserve top billing, and maybe never.
