I was so surprised by how invested I was in Ward's story, which actually ended pretty well. He shot his dad and had him cremated before he could come back, and had a really very touching moment of emotional vulnerability about how he could no longer blame Harold for his problems or unhappiness.
Yeah, I have not given up on The Defenders as a lost cause or anything. But the difference that does jar between Iron Fist and the other Netflix shows is that the others are, in some fundamental way, about taking the side of the powerless against the powerful, and I'm not sure how well unemployed billionaire Danny Rand is going to mesh with that ethos. But I live in hope.
