Iron Fist: Eight Diagram Dragon Palm (2017)
Season 1, Episode 4
6/10
Blatant lack of consistency and immersiveness
29 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Joy poisons Danny, and later doesn't seem to mind much that Ward had him sent into a mental institution where he gets heavily drugged and later beaten up by a group of thugs and a mentally ill murderer. Ward later kicks Danny off the window of a scyscraper - which would've realistically killed him if it wasn't for an unreasonable amount of luck. But hey, what does it matter? In this episode, Danny suddenly forgets all about any of it and decides that Joy and Ward are his family and friends, after all.

Oh, and good ol' Harold, who managed to get direct access to surveillance cameras in some psych ward from the comfort of his living room, somehow haven't seen his daughter since she was in her early teens - the same daughter who happens to work in the same building that he lives in. God knows why he hasn't seen her in over a decade, when it's clear that he wouldn't have any issues doing so, if he wanted to. I've come to realize that I shouldn't expect any type of consistency or realism from this show. It can only be enjoyed if you watch it the same way you'd watch a Street Fighter or Mortal Combat movie. I'd argue that even die-hard fans of the Fast and the Furious franchise would raise an eyebrow after watching this show, though.
