So marvel fans have been wanting a darker marvel show and movies, this to me looked like Marvel dipping their toe into the R rated waters, it was decent but not fully committing was definitely a hindrance on the show.
The story is of Maya, sent away from her family at a young age, dealing with grief she finds a way through Fisk to project her anger and talents to something more "useful". She must venture home after discovering secrets, trying to stay to herself she manages to bring trouble back home, will her connection to her ancestors and her fighting talent be enough to keep her going?
So firstly this to me is a god sign marvel have taken the step to this sort of show, it's definitely better then 3 or 4 of their other Disney shows without a shadow of a doubt. The acting is great, Maya is an intriguing character and I enjoyed her family a lot, specially her grandparents I like a lot. Fisk of course I'm so happy to see him back, we get glimpses of his brutality but again nothing like in Daredevil.
I think it's a Disney + thing because in my opinion majority (not all) by 90% of their shows just don't have a good enough storyline or compelling arc to hit the 8/10 or 9/10 types show. With 30 minute run time and a sole character focus it can be hard to deliver a meaningful journey. Comparing it to DD on Netflix you had multiple stories all compelling and linked and a longer run time, that's majorly lacking on Disney and it feels flat at times.
The action is good, again the way it was advertised I was expecting close to Netflix levels, it's not but much better than what we had been getting the past while, one or two good episodes the rest fine, weak finale honestly BUT it has me hopeful for the Dare Devil show, overall a decent watch and the Native American storyline is quite good too. 7/10.
