The Defenders - A brief review

Netflix has been doing its Marvel shows to build into what we'd all expect to be the Avengers equivalent for the small screen. "The Defenders" features our four protagonists cross paths to fight The Hand, some ancient organization full of ninjas and mystical shit. They use the recently revived Elektra as their "weapon", and the misfit heroes have to join forces to put an end to it.

The show is kind of slow, but it has some good fight scenes. Yeah, the fight scenes are good... if you can actually see them. Most of the show was entirely too dark, and it's hard to make out what happens in most of it. Get a clue, Netflix! Get some better lighting in there. Sure, DareDevil doesn't need light, but the audience does!

Don't expect any glorified cameos. There's no Punisher, Kingpin, Kilgrave, or even Stan Lee in this show. Only those directly related to this plot will be there.

Overall, it's okay. The shows have been getting less cool as they pump more and more of them out each year, but this was a step up from the last two. I'd rank them as follows:

DareDevil season 1 > DareDevil season 2 > Jessica Jones > The Defenders > Luke Cage > Iron Fist
