Have just watched 2 episodes and it's pretty good so far but hard to keep track of everyone. Didn't watch Iron Fist series and had never heard of the character prior to Netflix series so that storyline is boring to me. Luke Cage series was okay but don't think he's that interesting of a character. Really liked Jessica Jones but, so far, her story is meandering. LOVED the Daredevil series and his story is the most compelling of the 4 so far. I'll watch the whole series, for sure. Can't wait till next season of DD comes out - it was fantastic. I'd watch another season of JJ but not sure I'd watch anymore LC or IF.
Netflix: The Defenders

Well if you didn't watch Iron Fist which most people didn't like but I did then you will be wondering what the hell is going on half the time in Defenders. The two most relevant stories to the plot of Defenders is what happened at the end of Daredevil season 2 and Iron Fist.

I was a little let down by the Defenders. Its biggest flaw to me was the Hand just wasn't as compelling a villain as Kingpin and Kilgrave were. It seemed to me like the writers were making up the Hand's end game as they went along and it ultimately came out a little flat. Seeing the team up was fun though, so I recommend watching it. I probably had my expectations too high.
I loved the Daredevil and Jessica Jones shows. Luke Cage was okay (needed a better villain). Iron Fist was definitely the weakest, but I thought it was still watchable. I'd rank the shows DD1, JJ, DD2, Defenders, LC, IF.

I watched the first episode and like it so far. I did watch the Iron Fist and thought is sucked ***. Have a huge crush on Jessica Jones and she's part of the Fappening so there's my positive contribution to the thread.
Watched the entire season and really enjoyed it. Honestly would rather them all keep working together instead of splitting back up into their own shows.
My opinion was it was Ok. not to much into it. Danny against the hand was a very good story line. I liked Luke Cage on his on and even Jessica Jones was subpar. Started the daredevils series tonight. A Cat best!?!
I'm probably alone in this: I think that The Hand is a ridiculous, inane, contrived, and boring excuse for a "villain" and I pretty much hated the second season of Daredevil for going down that rabbit hole and disliked Defenders for continuing it. Sigourney Weaver + the SJW diversity squad + the saddest ninjas on earth = IDGAF. Next they will need to fight the Morlocks (sp?)
I think it was Iron Fist that was wedged into the whole Hand storyline. The Hand was always a main antagonist for Daredevil.
