    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

    So much better than the first season! Iron Fist finally finds his position in the Netflix-Marvel series, though the characters are still boring and unchanging for the whole sick of time. (Mary is the only well-written role)

    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

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

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

    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?

    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.
