{If you haven't been keeping up with the other four shows there's a pretty good chance you won't understand whats going on. The main reason I say this is because all four Marvel/Netflix series lead to a certain point or end. And that end is The Defenders (Dark version of The Avengers).}
{So for those who haven't been keeping up with the show I'll sum up the plot in this short paragraph. Basically whats been happening is that there's a criminal organization know as The Hand who have been thought to be existing for centuries, what they are after is immortality and the key to that is (SPOILER): The Immortal Iron Fist. We get introduced to a new villain Alexandra and some of her friends who we've actually seen before. Alexandra who is the mastermind of this plan seeks immortality and nothing will stop her from getting it, oh except for four Her... Jessica Jones who's working on a case find clues to which lead her to so on so and Luke Cage who's fresh out of prison wants to go back to protecting Harlem, but then gets tangled up trying to protect a kid from some bad people (The Hand) and eventually discovers who and what The Hand is. Danny Rand who's been hunting and training to kill The Hand finally realized that his company had been doing business with them. And Daredevil who we all know for a long times has ties with The Hand goes after them because he follows Jessica Jones who he thought would been in danger if she kept digging for information about her case. And basically it so happens that} they discover something about The Hand all at the same time and meet up to have a big (Don't use the H word) team up.
1. For me I really found that the show took it's time to get to the point, but I honestly didn't mind that at all, I hate when stories just jump right into action, I really felt like the 2 episodes they used to set up each Defenders story was so that'd they cross paths was okay. They made it seem normal and casual and had the Vigilantes meet up in a natural way. Being a fan of Marvel and watching the four other shows watching the four of them collide paths was an amazing experience. I really loved how they also introduced the supporting characters from each show, it made the show feel a lot more alive knowing that a piece of story from Jessica, Danny, Luke, and Matt were in it, it really just made everything a lot more personal and fun to watch.
2. The one thing that had my amazed were the fight scenes. Hands down Marvel and Netflix have the best hallway fight scenes. I think the series was pretty action packed and suspenseful, taking turns at corners unexpectedly. Every time there was a fight scene you knew right away it would be good, the movement and how they transitioned to different fights a the same time made the show awesome to watch, but that was also thanks to the amazing soundtrack, like damn Marvel who ever you picked to create the theme for the intro to this series is amazing, when I was watching Luke Cage and Iron Fist I couldn't stand the Opening, but this time you guys did one hell of a job, I watched the opening to every episode, the sound mixing for this series is pretty incredible and unexpectedly good.
3. The emotions that are made throughout the characters are astonishing, almost giving you the feeling that you know these people personally. I loved the interactions with all the characters in this show, although some times it felt like they tried to force some of the supporting characters to interact with each other, it was still amusing to watch. My favorite Defender being Jessica Jones brings some amazing content to the show, Krysten's acting is absolutely incredible she definitely plays big part in the show, not because she's one of the main characters, but in my opinion because she pieces together the show so that it fits perfectly like a puzzle, Honestly if she wasn't in it, this would have just been plain out boring as hell.
4. If you have enjoyed other Marvel/Netflix shows then I most definitely promise you that you will enjoy this. It won't disappoint you in the way Iron Fist did, but you might be expecting a little more then it gives, but I'm sure they will present the rest of the story in season 2. As much as it unwraps I feel as if it could've been a little better and could've had a stronger story plot to go with, some of the characters like Alexandra (who is supposedly the villain) felt rushed with, her backstory seemed sloppy, but other then that, that's probably the only negative view I have for this series. Everything else I felt like Marvel nailed perfectly.
5. I love how this has violence and gore and isn't a series like Agents of Shield, this show just proves how serious and dark Marvel can be. And I'm actually impressed with what they did with Elektra in the show, she is easily becoming one of my favorite characters, I love her seriousness and brutality. In a way its almost soothing to have her in the series. Her badass level is insane, it isn't that Wonder Woman type more like The bride from Kill bill.
If you haven't been keeping up with the 4 other series, It might confusing to understand what exactly is going on, and if your a big Marvel fan you will probably love The Defenders. And other then that all I can say is experience there series for yourselves and I hope you like it.
