This started great, mature dialogue, good plot, great direction and acting, top production. Then 4th episode is uneven, as is 5th, then further episodes get ever more crappy and silly. A great disappointment. Iron Fist was just stupid. Painfully bad. Same for Jessica Jones, both seasons 1 and 2. Starts very good then falls apart with clumsy writers and direction, silly action, stupid dull flashbacks. Let's face it: Marvel sucks

Okay so I've just got around to watching this after going through all of the build up shows and I have to say I feel this gets way more hate than it deserves. Okay granted, it's no where near as good as it could've been and is nowhere near in the same league as Daredevil and Jessica Jones but it's still a good show in its own right that flies by at quite a high tempo which is quite a welcome change from the overly long Luke Cage & Iron Fist. At first time of watching it reminded me a lot of watching The Avengers for the first time; seeing all of these characters I've invested a lot of time in all coming together on the same screen which felt great.Some of highlights of this show for me were definitely Charlie Cox living up to his usual level of greatness for Matt Murdock & Daredevil & some of the fight scenes. The choreography in the fight scenes at Midland Circle and the Chinese restaurant were both really enjoyable. But there are some major flaws in the show (cheesey dialogue and poor acting to name a few) and without question, the weakest link in this show is Finn Jones. However, not all of it is his fault though in his defense. While his acting is just as awful as it was in Iron Fist, there's only so much he can do with terrible writing...Same goes for Mike Colter who comes in at a close second...It's well worth a watch but its just a shame you have to wade through the boring Luke Cage & Iron Fist to get here...

Having all of the Defenders in one show was actually a really great idea and I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Yes, it's nowhere near as good as DD or JJ, but it's still very fun for any fan of the individual shows

If you like marvel shows you should watch the defenders it is one of the best team up superheros shows and daredevil is one of the best superheros in the show and everyone else is good to.
