Latest entry in the NETFLIX MARVEL GRITVERSE: Iron Fist

These would've been great as like six-episode minis. As is, the episodes are far-too-often like a single comic issue whose plot has been so unnecessarily stretched out that it takes an hour to read.

I'm often unsure whether it's just bad writing or if the writers very consciously give ol' Finn dialogue that makes his character sound dumb as a post. 'I'll never forget my mother's last words. She told me she loved me.' I'll never forget the last thing my father gave me. It was a sandwich.

the writing probably doesn't help but like jon bernthal and mike colter are good actors and charismatic screen presences so they can sell sub-par writing much more effectively than finn jones, who is more tepid pond water than man

Have only watched Jessica Jones S1, and get the feeling that's the best of all these Netflix gritversethings. Never got round to S2 because I enjoyed the villain of S1 much more than the main character.

season two of jessica jones is extremely bad, avoid like the plague imo

I basically like every actor on this show except for the one who's playing the title role.

Somehow I'm still wading through this. I think the only actor I actually like is Simone Missick (Misty).

Finished last night. An incredibly low bar to clear, I know, but this was better than the first season by a factor in the double digits. I might even go so far as to recommend it. Finn never gets any less awful, though.

I guess I've never seen Alice Eve in anything but her inauspicious turn in the second Star Trek film but I will be keeping an eye on her now. She's real good.

Womp womp
