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..
    Here's to season 3..??    … Expand

    I don't know why the critics had a problem with this. I think it's great; Davos is a great viillain, Danny and Colleen have become great heroes, and all around, the show works really well.

    Iron Fist 2 is comparable to Luke Cage , Jessica Jones and Daredevil with regard to story , plot line , setting , visuals , acting and character arcs. These Marvel tales are entertaining and interesting. Looking forward to season three.

    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.

    A significant improvement over season 1, Iron Fist: Season 2 is fairly enjoyable. I still have some gripes, such as the entirety of Joy Meachum, but overall Season 2 has me optimistic for the future of iron Fist. The old show-runner was fired and a new one came in, and it shows. The action scenes are a significant improvement. The plot is decently compelling. It's nothing amazing, butA significant improvement over season 1, Iron Fist: Season 2 is fairly enjoyable.

Really most of the cringe-worthy aspects of season 1 have been removed. IF is still the weakest of the 5 Marvel Netflix properties, but Season 2 gives a compelling enough reason to return for Season 3 and, hopefully, give us some more Heroes for Hire.… Expand

    Don't know what people are complaining about .. its worth a watch .. they could give it a bigger budget and yes the pacing is a bit slow but I enjoyed this series and the crime would be to cancel the show after that ending.

    Funny how metacritic is in not compiling here IGN review, giving the impression that the critics were only negatives.
    Well, I really liked season 2. It was way better than the first and better than Luke Cage season 1 or Jessica Jonnes season 2. The ending was good and I cant wait for the next season. Hoping these bad reviews don't get the show cancelled. Mary Walker was amazing!

    there are improvements to keep one somewhat interested thanks to the fact its 10 episodes than 13 from the first season. Not a whole lot feels dragged thanks to this shortage even though it does happen somewhat

    I gave Season One a score of 8 but that was after only watching 1/2 the series. It got MUCH worse after that. This time, the writers kept things moving.    … Expand

    Iron Fist season 2 was a show I was really looking forward to and was hopefully going to be a redeeming point for the character of Iron Fist.

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

    I really liked this season of Iron Fist and I think he is going to develop even more throughout the show.

    Here's the big problem with Iron Fist, its the personification with what is wrong with the World, aka its about a white millionaire with everything including superpowers, but he's too stubborn and stupid to take good advice. This season has better character development and decent villain, but the show would be so much better without the main character, and thats a real problem.

    Season 1 honestly did have its fault but at the same time I enjoyed both season this season more so. Again were there things that could have been a bit better yes, but it wasn't enough to make me stop watching. I don't know if they will renew for a 3rd season just because of the reviews, but I hope they do.

    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.
