I’m still on the fence about this one. I’m just really dubious about watching this. It’s not that I hate the idea. It’s the awful reviews this show has gotten, along with the distinctly lackluster trailers I’ve been seeing.
Don’t get me wrong, I will be watching Iron Fist, as I don’t have to work this weekend, so I’m free, but when I think about watching it, I cringe. Normally, I wouldn’t pay much attention to what critics feel about something. I like to make up my own mind and critics have hated plenty of things I absolutely adored, like Suicide Squad, and the current movies of M. Night Shyamalan, but then again, they sometimes get things right. I was bored out of my head with Batman vs Superman, for example.
I think I may skip over some episodes though, and start with the third or fourth one. I don’t think I want to binge the show straight through. Nevertheless, I do promise to try really hard not to hate-watch this show, and lay out its good and bad points. I do not however promise not to be snarky. It’s one of my skillz. I’m also going to try really hard not to compare it to my favorite Martial Arts show, Into the Badlands, which is airing this weekend, right after The Walking Dead. I’m not promising anything. I’m just gonna try.

*And IGN is reviewing each episode as they watch. There are plenty of spoilers and the reviews are pretty evenhanded.

I’m gonna try a “limited” viewing experience becasue I really want my eyeballs to stay in my head. Maybe if I limit my exposure (like with a noxious gas) i’ll survive.
Oh sorry. That was the snark talking.
I hope its a good show!
