Literally I held my patience waiting the half of the episode 1, and I almost can guess the pilot.
The way that the director directed the iron fist is almost another version of "Green Arrow": something crash, rich family murdered (possibly plotted by a friend), one kid survived and returned with some sorta narcissistic and vigilante. And the vigilante sometimes fall into the past memory which describes what what has made him nowadays.
What makes me surprised, agitated and unbearable is the iron fist NEVER REALLY TRIED to help himself out, no matter in the mental hospital, in the conversation with ANYONE. In the opposite, the more he does, the worse situation he puts himself into. The script is horribly written, which lacks logic, balance and consequence. By no logic, the iron fist won over Joe's trust just by sending back a pack of M&Ms without the brown ones, which was their games as children. The same things happens to the doctors as well. So is the existence of Harold, which Joe seems have zero acknowledgment.
It seems the writer wants the script to be unfolded in a way where the audience NATURALLY captures the goodness and personality of the iron fist. But such organization only gives audience loath towards both the iron fist and other bad guys. Weakness for the former, and disguise for the latter.
The script really need improving, so does the acting of Ward, especially, which is almost sting to eyes.
