While still pretty bad, it’s almost impressive Iron Fist managed to garner the same amount of interest as Luke Cage’s follow-up, especially given the difference in critic and audience reception.
Iron Fist also had a sharp dip like Luke Cage going into the sophomore season, and its Season 2 release date only inspired less than 20,000 posts online.
Despite that, or because of it, it’s again very clear why Netflix would consider these series ripe for cancellation, especially if less buzz indeed indicated and resulted in decreased viewership.
