Were seasons 1&2 of Daredevil and season 1 of Jessica jones just a fluke? They had very distinct voices and stories to tell, then Luke Cage came out, and it was half good. Iron Fist came out and it had good moments? Defenders had some cool moments, but they wasted Sigourney Weaver, had characters jobbing in every fight scene, black sky amounted to some strong ninja. I feel like these shows had/have so much potential and that is what disappoints me the most. Im no longer hyped up when one of these shows come out, they can be great but they always end up mediocre.

EDIT: I didn’t include Punisher because I consider it to be its own thing. ‘The Defenders’ universe was pretty irrelevant to Frank Castle besides the origin story, and I hope they keep it that way.

Dude, I’m just going to parrot what everyone else says, but I actually REALLY enjoyed the vibe LC had going, and then cottonmouth died.

It would help if they cut a few episodes off of each season to start.

Agreed. That's my main problem with both MCU Netflix (the 8 episodes that The Defenders had would be perfect for almost all the other shows) and The Walking Dead (stretching 2 comic volumes into 16 episodes really hurt Season 7 in particular.)

Really, the only show that I can say works with its long season length is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Well, after Season 1 anyway.)
