First, the only reason I gave it a 9 is nothing is perfect. But if I could give a 9.5 I would.

***If you want read the bottom paragraph first then come back to the top***

Everything just seemed to come together with this series either by luck or design or a combination of both, but it works to the maximum degree. This exact combination of people, writers, actors, producers....all involved would have made Iron Fist or any other series just as great. The pace of the characters progressing/transitioning with Matt into DD is perfect!

The cast selection is right on in both seasons. You'll be extremely shocked and pleasantly surprised at how well the actors bring the characters you know and love to life. There's very little "overacting" or mixed acting, it's a true ensemble. No real uncomfortable moments or anything you want to fast forward through, you truly want to watch every moment.

The writing is top notch. (The best in the business right now) No dragging you through nonsense to get you nowhere. There's purpose and meaning to everything. The viewer can relate to the show whether they are longtime DD fans or never knew DD until the they watched the first episode on Netflix.

This show is dark. DARK. Not for children. Do not let your children watch this show.

****Now for the good stuff. The action and fighting scenes and cinematography (?) are amazing! I go nuts with anticipation waiting for each one. There are a few that are exceptionally exceptional. LOL Who ever choreographs these and films these and the others that works on these have done stuff I haven't seen in any Marvel MOVIE much less any other series or show. I'm not sure what the industry term for these particular scenes are called but you'll be in total awe! I mean Jaw dropping, I gotta rewind that three or four times just to see what in the hell did I just see Awe!***

Have fun and enjoy. The Defenders is right around the corner.
