    Right after the first 5 minutes of the first episode I knew we were in for a doozy of a disappointing season. Super hero knows the bad guys are right around the corner... waits for them to come his way... and all the time he's waiting the bad guys are killing innocent victims.... yep it's one of those wtf were the writers thinking?

    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.

    Schizophrenic characterizations (not just Mary), questionable acting, directing that is all over the place, and to top it off, writing that is just as bad as season one, just a different style.

At least in season one the characters had dependable personalities. Even the continuity of season one is completely ignored, so the abilities of the Iron Fist may no longer be around (healing).

    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.

    I don’t know why they even call it Iron Fist, it’s “the Colleen show” with special guest Kung fu guy. The writing is so bad and pandering that they can’t even develop or focus on the main character!

Oh yeah, that sure sells him as the “immortal” iron fist! That’s not even to mention the awful supporting cast and mind numbingly boring side stories that make up the bulk of the screen time. 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So is the new title of this show going to be: "Colleen Wing: The New Iron Fist?"

    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?
    No respect for source material...really disappointing show overall.    … Expand

    Despite all of the negative criticism and feedback from the first season, it's amazing and disappointing that they continue to make Iron Fist a colossal bore.

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

    I wish i could review it 0. I dont understand why Netflix is still continuing this series. Finn jones is the worst actor i have ever seen his acting skill sucks. His martial arts sucks more than his acting skill. This show is a sinking ship.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Iron Fist gets ccucked and turned into a sidekick in his own show. If the idiots at Netflix wanted to a make Wing and Misty the main characters why did they even call this show Iron fist? They shouldve just called the show Daughters of the Dragon like the actual comic. Why bother compromising with gangbangers? They shouldve kicked their asses and let social services deal with the deliquents. SJW pandering to the max in this one. Men have to constantly whine about their problems and validate the women, while the women act more and more like men. Wing gets the Iron Fist power at the end just becoz she has a pooosy. Get woke go broke.… Expand

    the female cast is great, and that's what makes the two wet blankets that play lead and villain so cringeworthy. Charisma voids that are neither heroic nor menacing. We already knew Iron Fist himself was a bit rubbish but making Davos the main villain? wow, i've seen more imposing boxes of kittens. The character choices make little sense, and it chugs along with grim resolve, let's hopethe female cast is great, and that's what makes the two wet blankets that play lead and villain so cringeworthy.

    Season 2 started off "okay" better than the first season. But again another show ruined by pandering to a strong female role. I have no issue with strong female characters but this felt so forced. The last 2 episode seemed rushed, and destroyed cannon of Iron Fist. Terrible

    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.

    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.
