While Iron Fist gets points from a production perspective for limiting the FX budget by never really showing much of Danny's time in K'un-Lun, that doesn't make it a very fun watch for fans. If you're going to watch a show about Iron Fist, you want to see mythical cities, glowing fists, and ripping the heart out of a freaking dragon; not just a pair of red eyes in a cave. Again, the budget of a Netflix show has some realistic limits, but there's a sense that Iron Fist is trying too hard to fit into the established grounded tone of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. There's a distinct lack of fun and energy that really makes the 13 episode season a bit of a slog.
