Seriously, the fan reviews are all in the high 80's and the show is well acted with some good intrigue. I'm up to episode 4 and don't see how anybody thought this show was a bomb.
I'm now up to episode 5 and there was a lot of good action in episode 4. It's a bit different than Daredevil fights, and much more about style, which is great to watch. I love the intrigue with whatever in the hell the hand is doing, especially with Harold getting revenge for his daughter, and then Colleen is just a bad ass. I love that she isn't just an Asian black widow knock off, but her fights are more grueling. It's like she's just starting out and testing herself. I'm not quite sure why she's doing it, and that's yet another fun aspect of this series. The office politics are actually compelling too. I love how the son was forced to turn the story into Danny is a saint, when he hates the guy. Great stuff.
And now episode 5 has really ramped it up. The Bride of Nine Spiders is revealed, the hand is on the move, what does Madam Gao want, is she the Crane Mother, what is going to happen with the heroine deal, how in the world can they keep Daredevil out of this?
And episode 6 continues the goodness with a series of battles overlaid by a narration of his journey to fight the dragon. The Bride of Nine Spiders looked amazing, and Madam Gao once again shows she has some next level of power. What is she? This is really good stuff.
I still have no idea why anybody wrote this off. It's a fun show and well acted. |

Batman v. Superman still has a 70% fan score at Rotten Tomatoes and I do not understand why it is still being bashed at this moment. actually that's incorrect, but sure. |

Well there you go, you like it. Forget all the critics. No, I quite value critics. The general theme was that the show was somewhat uneventful, and it certainly isn't Daredevil, but none of them said the acting or writing was poor. So I'm glad I had the reviews to get a better understanding of what the show was offering.
Conversely the critical response to things like BVS was quite different, which was that the writing was poor, and they were right about that too.

The main critical response to both BvS and Iron Fist is that they were tedious. And honestly, I can see why they felt that way. |

I haven't watched BVS, but I've enjoyed Daredevil,Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, so I'm gonna watch Iron Fist and go from there. |

The main response to Iron Fist is that apparently they've found at least the first 6 episodes somewhat uneventful.
However I had an hour long discussion after episode 3 about what the Hand's goal is, how Meachum faked his death and why, and what the Hand is using him for, How much his son knows, why his daughter doesn't, if Meachum is trying to get Danny to free him, if there is another villain waiting in the wings, the cleverness of utilizing Hogarth, if the kid in the Dojo turns out to be Shadow Hawk, the use of foreshadowing when Danny says his power comes out the more he's beaten which played out during his escape.
All of that has been well executed, so I don't really see where the uneventful critique is coming from. If they mean every scene isn't a fight, then ok, but there are other interesting things than just fighting. Clearly they'll get there.

My cousin thought I was going crazy one time when I started singing Plush and becoming all crazy like Scott Weiland. |

sooooooo the critics are wrong, and fans are right...hmmmmmm sounds so familiar. No the critics are right here as well, the show is a little slower, it's just that it fits what the show is trying to accomplish and isn't a weight on the show. So their comments are somewhat accurate, but they're just portraying it as a bad thing when it actually comes off quite well.
The difference vs say BVS or SS is that they were still accurate about those, and it did in fact weigh those films down.

Because bad critics doesn't affect anything? Critics are valuable. I really disagree with people like yourself who think critics have no place.
If you bothered to read what they say, they're actually accurate even to this series. They say the show is a bit light on action. That's somewhat true, however, the various points of intrigue they've built up has me wondering just what exactly everybody's motivations are, and I don't see how that is boring, even if there isn't a fight every five seconds.

What do people expected from Iron Fist? An action packed Show with numerous fight scenes or what? Are storytelling, character focus and dialogues not important anymore? The previous Shows does start slow too, and people are fine with that.
