I think most people didn't understand that Danny never finished his training. He's inexperienced, that's why he can't control his chi and only could summon one Iron Fist.
They literally showed you that Danny was wack when Bakuto showed him footage of an old Iron Fist with two glowing hands stomping cats in the woods.
I think folks were so amped to criticise they missed the point.
Danny is a manchild, a fish out of water. It would be weird as fuck for a dude to come into N.Y. after being gone 15 years and be street smart and hip. Time froze for him at 10 years old.
The show is literally growing pangs. He knows nothing about running a company but was put in position to do so. He didn't really know shit about being the Iron Fist either, which is why he was going back to Kun Lun at the end.
Also he was abused in Kun Lun and forced into being Iron Fist. It's a classic "He was doing what was expected" versus doing what he wanted scenario.
I think its a solid B- show. The acting was meh but I understood why Danny behaved like he did. It was a little too much of the Meachums (especially Ward's stuffy ass).
This show is a half step behind JJ because Kilgrave was awesome and JJ supporting characters were better utilized. i wouldn't have made it through that show without Patsy and Simpson or that crazy neighbor Robin (IIRC).
All these shows are having the same issue where they with hold the origin (and big bad) until the middle or the end. But nobody microwaved a villain like Luke Cage with that whole Diamondback thing. That shit literally came out of nowhere.
