That being said, nothing in Iron Fist is more shockingly underwhelming than its trio of antagonists.
So what does Iron Fist deliver?
The Meachums: Ward, a pill-popping bully with serious daddy issues; Joy, a woman who randomly switches between friend and foe with the presentation of any new evidence; and Harold, who is unsurprisingly actually alive and keeping an eye on everything, but also literally locked away in an apartment and unable to leave.
The Hand will surely play a bigger role in the back half of the first season, but even if that winds up being great, the first six episodes are still punctuated by a complete lack of legitimate threats.
