Review of Iron Fist

Iron Fist (2017–2018)
6/10
Missed the best parts of the comic

This TV show could have been so much better. It focused on Danny Rand's life in NYC, and showed practically nothing of K'un Lun, or his life prior to returning home. The actor played Danny Rand like a wide eyed farm-boy, innocent and full of the wonder of it all, at least until the 8th or 9th episode when some weird sort of PTSD came over him. I did not quite get that. But I gotta wonder, how good an Iron Fist show can you really have, if you show no more than ten minutes over 13 episodes of the Thunderer? Answer, not so much. This was a striking failure, especially when compared to the other "Defenders" shows that Netflix has put out. Maybe I am judging it too hard, because of the characters that Netflix has assembled, Iron Fist was always, far and away, my favorite. But this show just does not do his story justice. Shame.
