I've been a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first Iron Man movie was released in 2008. So I was pretty excited about Netflix's newest MCU show, Iron Fist. Despite the early negative reviews, I was willing to give the show a chance. It was a decent watch.

Iron Fist is about Danny Rand coming back home after training in the mystical city of K'un Lung for fifteen years along with the death of his parents. Some of the show's run time deals with Danny convincing people including his childhood friends, Ward and Joy Meachum, about his identity. The main problem that I have the show's main story line is it's dedicated to corporate politics. I wanted more focus on Danny being the Iron Fist.

Another problem with the show is the acting. Finn Jones wasn't as memorable as the main character, Danny Rand/Iron Fist. He does do a good job showing the emotional turmoil the character is going through because of his training tells him to bury his emotions and dealing with the deaths of his parents. All Danny does is talk about being the Iron Fist and never backs it up. The actress who plays Joy Meachum wasn't memorable as well. Joy can never seem to dedicate herself to a decision. Of the new characters introduced in Iron Fist, Colleen Wing was the best. I wanted to see more of her. Characters who were introduced in the other Marvel/Netflix shows like Clair Temple and Jeri Hogarth were great as always.

Compared to the other Marvel shows, the fight scenes are not very good. It shows whenever Danny has to fight someone. Finn Jones needs to get more practice. The only good fight scenes involve Colleen Wing.

Despite its flaws, Iron Fist is a decent watch. Not as good as the previous Marvel/Netflix shows, but still serviceable. After watching the show, I'm still excited about Netflix's The Defenders. Hopefully, they will fix the obvious flaws in the next season of Iron Fist.

I checked out Sense8 on Netflix out of curiosity and to look for a new show to watch. Glad that I gave Sense8 a chance. The show is now one of my all time favorite shows. It is amazing! Sense8 is about eight strangers from all walks of life having a psychic connection to form a new "cluster." They can share skills with each other like hacking, detective work, hand to hand combat, and so on. While dealing with this, they must avoid being captured by those who want to experiment on them. The individual story lines for each of the characters are engaging. I found the characters very relate able.

The story does an amazing job of keeping the viewer hooked. Sense8 does take a few episodes to get any traction in season one, but it is worth it. The viewer can relate to the main eight character and their problems. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are some clichés in the show concerning certain characters, but that relates to their development as people.

Sense8 does a great job on tackling tough subjects like religion, gender, and other topics. It's great seeing a sci-fi show talk about subjects like that. That's one of the reasons why I love watching Sense8. Some of the sex scenes did make me uncomfortable, but I got over it because of how well-written and well-acted. the show was.

Another thing I liked about Sense8 is the cinematography. It is very beautiful. Each shot for every filming location is breathtaking. It must have been difficult finding some of them. In the end, it was well worth it. The beautiful shots of cities like Seoul, South Korea and Mumbai, India are amazing. Makes me want to travel to those places.

In the end, Sense8 is one of the best sci-fi shows that I've watched in recent years. The characters are well-written and relate-able. Also, the story-lines are well-written and very engaging. Definitely a show I would recommend to others. The Wachowskis have released a masterpiece. I'm so disappointed that Netflix cancelled Sense8. It's one of their best shows. At least, they came to their senses and gave the fans some closer in a two-hour series finale. I will miss waiting for a new season of this beautiful show.
