The show does this thing all the time where in one scene Danny schools like 12 dudes like it ain't no thing, and then in the next fight scene he's struggling against 1 dude who isn't even trained in martial arts because the plot demands that Danny be distracted for a couple minutes while something bad happens.
Because the show really, really doesn't know how to create drama and tension.
I'll be watching it this week, but maybe Iron Fist would be best utilized on a team show and didn't need his own series. Although to be honest, I didn't think Luke Cage or Jessica Jones were interesting enough to have their own shows either.
