Shaun Munro reviews the twelfth episode of Iron Fist… Iron Fist‘s penultimate episode raises the stakes action-wise and certainly puts the wheels in motion for a fleet-footed, intense finale, but it’s also bogged down by more rancid peripheral drama that’s difficult to care much about. For starters, Ward’s back (remember him?) in the frame after being […]

Shaun Munro reviews the eleventh episode of Iron Fist… “Lead Horse Back to Stable” opens with an intriguing flashback to Danny’s road to becoming an Iron Fist, cementing how compelling his dynamic with Davos is compared to, well, just about anyone else he interacts with.

Shaun Munro reviews the tenth episode of Iron Fist… Iron Fist enters its final stretch with more barmy revelations, though they at least feel decidedly more pared-down and reined-in than episode nine’s ludicrous, divisive resurrection of Harold.

Shaun Munro reviews the seventh episode of Iron Fist… We’ve now reached the mid-way point in Iron Fist‘s run, bringing to an end the batch of episodes that were screened to critics ahead of release day. Will the latter seven episodes indicate an upswing in quality for what has been a rather underwhelming Netflix Original so […]

Shaun Munro reviews the sixth episode of Iron Fist… Iron Fist‘s sixth episode is directed by Wu-Tang Clan leader and martial arts aficionado RZA (who, in a probably-not-too-coincidental turn, directed 2012’s entertaining martial arts flick The Man with the Iron Fists), and what a difference it makes to have a clear fan of the genre putting his all […]
