shaylen_sanders This isn't even about necessarily being "PC" the casting for the lead just doesn't make sense. It is so weird and unnatural seeing a white man portray someone who speaks Japanese and is practicing tai chi and other aspects of Japanese culture... when do we ever see that in real life? It does strike me as appropriation. There's times where it even comes across as comedic. And the actor doesn't even seem like he's feeling it... it feels forced. The white washing is so transparent, here he is, the only character who can fight "the hand" a Japanese drug trafficking fighting group, and... he's white... so the villains who understand martial arts are Japanese, but the hero who also understands martial arts.. is white... why is the only person that can save the city from the evil Japanese a white guy? Hmm... why couldn't they find someone Asian or Japanese to fit this role? Dominic/ D-trix from "so you think you can dance" would've been cool, or someone like him. It just seems rather transparent that the villains and the hero both have Japanese influence but the man to stop them is a white guy who speaks Japanese, mandarin, Chinese, and does martial arts who also happens to be white.... When the iron fist says "my mission is to fight *insert asian name I can't remember here* before falling off a balacany, it was cringe worthy. It looks like a parody... at times it looks like he's making fun of Japanese culture, or like a little boy playing a game. It feels so so very forced. Because again; it's not natural. The acting on the lead's part is poor when he is trying to imitate Japanese culture, and it feels uncomfortable watching. And the fight scenes are anti climatic. There's nothing tactical or martial there honestly. It looks cheap.I thought the concept of this show was silly to begin with; a glowing fist? Really? But when someone told me it "starts out slow and gets better" suggested I check it out, I watched the trailer, and genuinely thought it could be interesting due to the mix of Japanese culture, but.... I think I should've trusted the lack of interest I had in the beginning. I don't have the patience to wait and see if it "picks up the paste" I am rolling my eyes too much at the dialogue. It is just so bad in parts.Parts of this show is intriguing and entertaining, like the relationships between the characters, the history, the tension, and aspects of the villains, but then parts of the dialogue are just too unbearable and cringe worthy. I'm only on episode six and I'm ambivalent as to if I should continue watching or not... Netflix keeps recommended marvel and dark dramas so I have no idea what to watch. I wish it would give me just a smidge more variety. Please give me more Netflix! I thoroughly enjoyed dare devil and Jessica Jones, but this one falls flat in comparison. It lacks depth.

heath sims If you like great dialogue and story lines, and creative effects such as the ones used in 'Legion' or 'Scotty Pilgrim vs. the world' then you won't like this show.It is bad, very bad. Watch 'Legion' instead.

haxmanandtheghostlynoscopes Let me preface this by saying that Iron Fist has been my favorite superhero for many years. I've read every single comic of his that I could get my hands on, I bought videogames just because he was playable in them, I even scour yardsales every week to get my hands on older printings of his comics. So needless to say, I was extremely excited when I heard he was getting a Netflix series.When I first saw the bad reviews, I was in denial. I didn't think there was any way they could mess up a superhero like Iron Fist so bad that he would only receive 17% percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but after watching it... I don't even know where to begin with this show. Never have I seen writers fail to understand a character so bad. Danny went from being a calm and collected dude who manages to successfully run a company and fight crime, to an aggressive, impulse moron who breaks into people's houses, steals people's cars (and nearly kills them in the process) and fails to run his business at all. He acts painfully stupid, naive, and even intentionally cruel at times. He's supposed to be one of the world's greatest martial artists, second only to Shang-Chi, and able to go toe-to-toe with Iron Man or the X-Men, but in this show he struggles to defeat a random street punk without being injured. He (and half of the other characters) are painfully boring, to the point where I struggled to sit through most episodes. Also, the main villian's "master plan" makes no sense.This show does have two saving graces: Colleen Wing legitimately has an amazing storyline, and it's very interesting to watch her fight against becoming what she hates. Harold Meachum also has a pretty gripping storyline, although not as good as Colleen's. Unfortunately, both of these stories are surrounded by hours of the other uninteresting characters doing stupid stuff, leaving the show mostly unwatchable. If you're considering watching this show, do yourself a favor and just read the comics instead.
