With the return of Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Studios‘ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation Brad Winderbaum shared an update on the rest of The Defenders.
Iron Fist season 1 was definitely the low point of the Netflix shows, and it’s definitely the writing. I’m convinced that they wanted to make something very different, and tried to shape Iron Fist into something that really didn’t fit. For one thing, the showrunner’s only previous experience in anything resembling action, sci-fi or superhero stuff was finishing Inhumans after the production fell apart. When Danny shows up in other shows (with other writers) he’s actually an enjoyable character.
I remember being disappointed by The Defenders the first time I watched it, but when I rewatched it more recently, I really liked it. Even the Danny stuff. It’s not perfect, but it has a lot of good character work and has some very satisfying moments.
Also the Punisher is better than it has any right to be. Even if you’re burned out on the MCU, I would still recommend it since it has so little resemblance to anything else Marvel puts out aside from maybe Daredevil season 1.

Finally just got around to watching punisher, just finished season 1 the other day and I’m kicking myself for not watching it sooner. It’s fantastic!
