"Yes we're looking forward to it. Thought Iron Fist was a major blip in an otherwise great run of shows but hopefully this will be as good as JJ, DD, and LC.
Mr"
I agree. Iron Fist had too much corporate battles rather than the actual Iron Fist.
Also, how many times must he summon his chi? |

I loved the Jade Jones and Luke Cage series, think there's a lot of chemistry between the actors;
Daredevil started out great but tapered off with the screenplay; and Iron Fist was a bit weak....
So hoping they can pull this one out of the bag  |

Also, the character was a total plank. Apparently in defenders JJ is forever taking the piss out of him, that would work for me, might make me feel better about him being there.

Yes, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box was he? |

wrong DD season 2 was the best, but that may just be because of Jon Bernthal |

"Still need to get Iron Fist and Luke Cage watched... Do you think it'll matter if I skip those?"
I'm sure you could follow it and enjoy it just fine. I imagine there will be plenty of references and appearances from characters from those seasons so you might miss minor stuff.
You should definitely try to watch Luke Cage, it was very good.

I agree  also, the fight scenes in that season were unbelievably good.

Good to see different peoples opinions. I thought Iron fist got better towards the end as they used the Hand and Colleen more. I thought Luke Cage got a bit worse and the final fight felt a bit stupid |

Final fight WAS crap. Just looked like 2 old duffers slugging it out in the street. That aside I thought it was a good show.

Daredevil is definitely the best series so far, especially with the introduction of the punisher and Electra.
Jessica jones was also very good
Thought Luke Cage was ok at best. Diamond back was the most overplayed annoying villain in a long time
Iron Fist should have had much better fight scenes. Most parts it looked like a badly choreographed WWE fight |

The guy that played IF and the woman that played his love interest had no background in martial arts and because of time constraints they were sometimes given as little as 15 minutes to learn the moves before shooting a scene. Explains why there's all those daft edits. Compared to the 1-shot fight scene on the staircase in DD season 2, they were pretty hopeless.

I heard that myself, but there is no excuse on the studios part. the defenders has been in the pipeline for years |

Love Daredevil, enjoyed Jessica Jones, thought Luke Cage passable and Iron Fist was painful.
Currently half way through episode 2 of Defenders and finding it slow. Not impressed thus far. |

yeah I just finished episode 4. It's been too slow so hasn't lived up to my expectations so far. (Spoilers kinda) we all knew they'd team up and we're investigating the same thing, don't know why it took them 3 episodes to get there when there's only 8 episodes in the series? Not sure how they're gonna end it, because they all have their individual series before they team up again |

Or his lawyers. 
Currently enjoying Iron Fist, will tackle The Defenders later. |

I have to agree! How did you feel about JJ, DD and LC individually? |

"Just about finished Luke Cage... but can I really be arsed to watch Iron Fish before The Defenders? Does it add much?
Iron FIST - that should say. *Go back to sleep, Paul.*"
Definitely watch Iron Fish! 
But seriously, yes, the characters from that series are quite prominent in The Defenders. |

I've still got Luke Cage and Iron Fist to watch. The reviews of Iron Fist haven't been particularly great but is it worth watching? |

Whilst The latter is not anywhere near as good the first three characters standalone's, it isn't awful either. But I think it's very neccessary viewing before Defenders |

"I've enjoyed Jessica Jones and Daredevil.
I'll watch Luke Cage next and then Iron Fist before watching The Defenders  "
Luke Cage has the best music! And so many nods to the classic comics too |

Funnily enough I'm not into all the comics. I've just enjoyed these shows on Netflix. |

Finished it last night. Thought it was great, really well paced, good villains, and the fight scenes were much improved on 'Iron Fist' (still not up to DD standard though) Love the Sticks character too, like someone decided to turn Iggy Pop into a blind ninja!
Roll on 'The Punisher'!
