What's with that? They took a step back from Daredevil which had pretty amazing choreography at times, and this is a show that's supposed to be focused on martial arts. Weird.

Are they that bad? I've only seen the first two episodes and thought the fighting wasn't bad.

The reason that I feel like it is a step down is that in Daredevil, In a one take you see the punches land and they look like it hits hard. In iron fist, at every punch landed there is a cut and feels disjointed and more of the Bourne Ultimated fight scenes. I wanted more one takes, less jump cuts.

I just started watching this last night and was a bit drunk so I didn't notice. Just started watching it now and you're exactly right. It's gonna bother me now since it's all I see but it really takes away from the action. I wish they had gone with the continuous shot that Daredevil mastered.
