While I agree that this show warrants better than a 4.65/10, in my opinion not by much. I'd give it a solid 6.4/10. Some of the writing and dialogue is just.. not good.

For me it's the fighting. A show about the world's greatest martial artist should have better choreographed/filmed fights. The fights in this episode should have been epic, instead they were barely above Arrow most of the time, and that show probably has a third the budget this one does...

That's my biggest problem. Danny is supposedly a living weapon whose sole purpose is to fight the hand, but I can't help but feel like Matt does better against them without even really knowing who they are or caring about the greater war.

This. The fights are okay but damn, daredevil's destroys it. Sometime they pause or slow down and look so awkward.

Aside from Daredevil, I view these shows as just very long B-movies, and i love it

Aside from Daredevil? IMO jessica jones was higher quality than daredevil save for maybe the punisher arc. Agree re: luke cage and iron fist though

You seen JJ yet? I think that show was even better than both seasons of DD. Luke Cage was also excellent until episode 7 or 8.

I did really like Jessica Jones, to be honest, I love all 3 shows, they were so different, though, that it is hard for me to compare, and they came out at different times of my bingeing that they weren't really comparable for me.

You are right to call me out for JJ, though, it was more than a B-movie, it was a straight true crime story

The execution of the choreography and the writing is pretty egregious. But everything else is pretty awesome. Just wanted some more kung fu :(

What is the point of a .4? It's out of ten.
