Netflix
has brought all of its headline characters together to join forces and take on the
Hand in The Defenders.
It
was good.
That
seems to be the general consensus of people I've talked to.
Not
Earthshaking, not the best show ever, but it was good.
I’m
fine with that.
As a lifelong Daredevil fan it was cool that Matt was sort of the leader, but everyone’s stories continued and they all got equal time. Luke and Danny
became friends and had the needed chemistry required to pull off their connection, and Jessica Jones was fit better into that group without losing her overall character arc and retaining her deadpan cynicism.
It
was great seeing everyone together, and seeing all the relationships build up and grow between the main
and auxiliary characters.
The
use of colors for each main character's highlighting scenes, and then combining them together was clever and worked as well as it
did when done in nearly monochrome comics set in a similar version of this
universe.
The
vast squad of heroes, villains and friends involved and having only eight episodes instead of thirteen
kept it fast paced and removed any padding.
So…yeah.
Dynamic
action scenes, funny gags, unexpected twists, character and story progression.
It
was good.
Sometimes,
that’s enough.
Apologies to anyone waiting for me to finish Deep Space Nine to get to this series, especially the appropriate action figures who waited upstairs all of August and never got to see their show.

Agreed. It was good, not great. I would also add that it started stronger than it finished.
Thanx for joining in.
I kinda agree. I'd say it started stronger than it middled.
The end was cool. I thin it either needed less tangents along the way, or more time to develop them.
