Yeah so far I'm not sure why this got hammered the way it did. I've been enjoying it. The stakes feel lower than the other shows (so far) but it's been good (4 episodes in). Finn jones (or whatever his name is) has been perfectly charming as Danny Rand

I loved JJ1, and enjoyed both DDS. LC was.good enough to get through. The first episode of this was impossible for me. I turned it off while laughing at it during the bit when the not-dead-dad is going through the list of very obvious questions raised by a reappearance of Danny Rand. I will not be returning to this one.

So far I'd put this ahead of Luke Cage but behind the other three.
Having said that, my issues with Luke Cage were in the second half of the season, so we'll see where this goes. The problem I had with Luke Cage is that the season felt like it resolved halfway through and then they realized they still had 6-7 more episodes to go and had to find shit to do (which is worse than the minor padding in DD and JJ). Thus far Iron Fist doesn't feel like it has finished, so hopefully that doesn't happen.
I'd rank them as follows
1. Jessica Jones 2. Daredevil 2 3. Daredevil 1 4. (Iron Fist - if it maintains) 5. Luke Cage
It definitely has less to say than Luke Cage and JJ, and at this point feels the most like a retread (which, I suppose, it largely is). But the action is good and the characters are fairly compelling. I really like the subtle fish out of water way they are presenting Danny Rand. The supporting characters are far less flashy than they have been in the other series, but still well fleshed out. The relationship Rand has with the Meachums is interesting.
