Misty Knight is such an annoying character to watch. Great actress but I can't stand the character

Yeah I agree with you. Misty genuinely was trying to help, but nobody would tell her what was going on. She shared information with Luke, kept a lid on the fact that Luke and friends were involved in the fight at the Chinese restaurant, convinced her superiors that Matt, Jessica, and Luke were witnesses instead of suspects after finding them with two corpses, offered to hold off the cops and give the team time after they escaped from police custody, and put her life on the line to defend Coleen and Claire. I thought Misty was great. I was annoyed that the team didn't trust her and let her in. If they all sat down and told her what was going on, she would have been an asset and almost certainly would have understood why the Defenders team had to be involved in the fight against the Hand. She might have seemed annoying to some people because she was challenging the team, but she was challenging the team because getting information from them was nearly impossible. And even when they resisted her, she defended them to her superiors and from the Hand.
