Just finished. Don't understand the critical hate other than people just letting their bias of him not being made Asian influence their decisions. It was entertaining.
Finn Jones was probably the weakest aspect of the show. Someone else in here said this was like a weaker version of Arrow and I at one point while watching actually thought he was just a discount Ollie as he does the quiet whisper talking and everything. Not sure it's his fault though. Can't help but feel they just didn't write him properly as he has no personality. Sure he's supposed to be some brainwashed living weapon but you could have given him something. He's pretty brash and outgoing in the comics so, part of the reason he and Cage get along so well. Will be interesting to see what happens with Defenders.
David Wenham was fantastic as was Tom Pelphrey and Jessica Henwick. Rosario Dawson and Carrie Anne Moss deliver with their characters as usual.
My biggest complaints though outside the odd choice of how they wrote and portrayed Danny Rand were:
1) The minute Claire realized this was The Hand why the fuck did she not just call in DD? You're sitting here telling this guy he is crazy for trying to take them on on his own, living weapon or not, and he's ok with you and Colleen helping so he'll take assistance obviously. Just tell him you know a guy who has also spent his entire life being trained to fight them and recently did stop them. They spend a lot of time referencing all the other shows but with this being the last show before Defenders it's the perfect time to have a direct main character cross-over to set up for that show. Especially since The Hand are the main villains for The Defenders.
2) To many damn villains by the end. It's Madame Gao and Harold Meachum, long as you aren't to stupid to realize he was going to be one, through most of it. Then you suddenly remove Gao and throw in Bakuto as the villain. Just two episodes later he's done and now it's back to Meachum. In fact it ends with him and not The Hand as the main villain. Through it all you have the siblings constantly switching sides ending with the brother ending up the good guy. Oh and let's not forget you've introduced Steel Serpent. Not a villain quite yet but obviously will be.
