Daredevil's big season climax is done terribly though so it didn't help.

That's true, that is seemingly the only word you know.

By that logic since Damon Lindelof can never pull off a full TV season without some bad episodes that drag but still manages to have many real good episodes, his movie writing credits must be amazing.

It’s not that there’s something impossible about the episode count, but in practice the 13-heavily-serialized/bingable hours model they’re stuck with is consistently resulting in a lot of frustrating filler. Would be better either to tailor the length to the story, or have more standalones.

Maybe just hire good writers.

Maybe, instead of making bad television, Netflix should make gooder television, instead. I'm Aphrodite, and this has been my Nuclear Hot Take for the afternoon

Maybe just hire a good writer.

about the best bit of vigilantism he manages is stopping Cockroach from beating on his girlfriend, but he wasn't there to help her specifically any more than the cops were when they showed up to take Cockroach away.

He was that time. The old neighbor he spoke to the first time he visited called him about it.

I’m not much further and I can’t tell if it’s bad chemistry between the actors, or the actors playing bad chemistry between the characters.

He's a shill for Netflix and Microsoft, don't try to logic with him.

You're right, it doesn't have a single positive critic review:

Check the user reviews. Clear majority of them were positive.

100% of user reviews on Metacritic are fake.

The REAL issue is that Finn Jones couldn't really do fight scenes, and the choreography didn't help. The Colleen stuff was miles better even considering it's still bad overall. Maybe he'll do better in S2, with a better choreographer and more time to train.

Anyway, I finished Luke Cage S2 and...hey, it was good! S1 started well and then became probably the worst Marvel Netflix show at the time, so I was fearing the worst, but it worked out just fine. It does have the usual pacing issues but it also has way better narrative and dialogues.

That was an issue, but it still would have been a bad show even with the best fight scenes on TV (see: Into the Badlands.)

It's okay to hire actors who aren't martial artists and use quick cutting to disguise it.

I mean not so much in Iron Fist, but like Taken or something? Sure. Although doing it for climbing a fence is absurd.

Nah actually Punisher is probably one of the best seasons of TV ever imo. Please name other action-dramas that deliver as hard in Season 1.

Like any other low budget show you’ve never heard of that somehow ran for 4 seasons on Cinemax.

Also it shouldn't need to have the medium of its storytelling be, "the Defenders stand around awkwardly for half an hour while Stick tells them the entire plot".

That was like the only good episode of it though.

I believe that Finn can act, he's just a lousy choice for an Iron Fist, the hippie thing feels more annoying stoner friend from college than legit fish outta water.

Uh, it’s not like he decided to play him that way.

They're not mistakes really. It's a budget and time choice.

Punisher applied it's bad filler nobody cared about evenly throughout the whole series.
