Marvel's Iron Fist (2017)

Written by maleonar on October 18, 2018

This season started with such promise; Danny looked to be heading into an interesting collision with the Triad and had a strong antagonist with excellent back story, characterization and so well acted by Sacha Dhawan. Every time Davos appeared on screen he captured my attention and in general kept me interested. Danny's struggle with the fist and his relationship with Coleen and a potential love triangle were all plot threads I wanted to see through. Cut to the middle act of the season and we take a huge jump back to what made season 1 so forgettable; Joy, Ward and a super hero, who wasn't acting like he had any power. The final act had some great moments, but didn't outweigh the meandering that came before. I am sorry it has been cancelled, but i understand why it didn't capture the audience as each time it seemed to generate memorable moments and attach a hook or two, they were quickly shed as the drab dialogue between Rand and his family reappeared.
