The Defenders (2017)
After mass: it could been a a lot better.

Warning: Spoilers
First of all let's agree on something: I don't like the way that some people evaluate the series, someone gave it 10 because they grab the four stars together, another one gave it 3 due to of-course the "outstanding" acting of Finn Jones, between these unwise evaluations here what could been better:

1 - What goes wrong always end wrong. The first and biggest wrong foot step was Finn Jones in the shoes of Danny Rand, it can't be, it just can't, he wasn't up to it. That said, along with the bad writing that made the show in the bottom of the four shows "Dare/Jessica/Luke", we had the first flaw in The Defenders.

2 - Daredevil is no longer our Daredevil, the one we knew in his own fabulous show was darker, wiser, calmer and smarter than this copy. In The Defenders we saw another Daredevil, with a bad nerve and more good looking than Danny, just that and nothing more.

3 - You don't link all the four worlds of them with this silly and very direct way, I mean how the hell you just grab every one and put them in a police station to make sure they will remain safe from the Hand, an organization that _ according to the plot _ have the resources to shape the world, any one did see how ridicules this is?

4 - Basic Rule: if you can eliminate a character from any series without any bad consequences for the viewers then you this character is an invisible liability.

5 - those weren't the most evil empire's leaders, no depth and no darkness at all in them. Reference: Vincent D'Onofrio

6 - Who should we blame for all the evil? no not the Hand, THE WRITERS, The script was lazy, not a smart one, perfunctory.

I really hope they correct this mess in S2, and lets start with make the series a real dark series with enough intelligent plot.
