wizardofdelphi There are things to like about Iron Fist, but the lead character Danny Rand isn't one of them. I'm not sure if its the actor himself or the writers and director(s) around him but scenes with Danny Rand range from "meh" to being painful to watch. Its just poor. Another review compared Finn Jones in this to Hayden Christensen in Star Wars and they were right, both were equally terrible performances.So many actors in Iron Fist are excellent and do a great job. Frankly if the Iron Fist had returned home to Kun-Lun and the series had continued with the other characters it would have been MUCH more interesting.Danny Rand is just childish, sloppy, annoying, naive and basically no fun to watch. One good example is towards the end he ends up in this camp where another sensai shows him some moves to recharge his chi. The performance here by Finn is laughable, the two are doing the moves next to each other and Finn, who is supposed to be his legendary martial artist, is so completely sloppy it is shocking. All I could sit there and wonder is if Finn is hideously terrible or if the show has absolutely no one knowledgeable about martial arts to prep/train him for these scenes. It was laughable.Netflix either needs to drop Iron Fist from their Marvel lineup or some mythical thing needs to occur that ends up transforming Danny Rand to look like a different person. So it really depends on if its the lead actor who's mostly failing or if credit for the failure is shared with the writers and directors. WIth it being this bad I'm guessing its a team fail.By comparison Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Daredevil are excellent and have great actors giving great performances. Which makes the failure of Finn Jones stand out all the more. I love how Netflix has its own little Marvel universe and city-scale Avengers going on, brilliant idea. But Iron Fist is dead weight pulling down the great shows around it. Which is sad because there are good actors doing good work in Iron Fist, but Finn Jones drags down every scene he is in.

faithfulgrace-330-50991 The concept is cool. The show could be good. Iron Fist is a fun east meets west character who is so shaped by his eastern training he's always saying crazy stuff. But the way he is written AND acted (there is so much fault both parties are responsible) he comes across as the biggest literary idiot since Steve Urkel but not nearly as fun or lovable. Hope they course correct. Honestly, I'd love to see a "Danny what happened to you?", "I had to get surgery that made me into a different actor" plot twist.

emmagallagher-22329 I actually love this show it's really good I don't know why y'all are hating on it so much. The only reason I didn't give 10 is because Danny made me cringe so much. Like ALL the time. Boy knows nothing. Good though.

magguilmot The problem with the character for adults is that he is a good little boy. At heart. All grown up. An eternal 8y-old boy with a superpower and a quest of sorts. Sell that to children and it's a hit. For me it's a miss because the character is not allowed to grow.Adults will like the great job of the main supporting "villains" actors and that's about it. The lead actor not only has a crappy character, he's clearly not had time enough to work through his action scenes and he is a poor tai-chi student to boot. The script is poor but the dialogues are awful. What is left? Huh ? A bit of romance, nice enough, but like I said the dialogues are awful and the good girl is as poorly written as the good boy. So. Not much, really.
