The writing and pacing was so bad. They just lazily had Danny straight out go "I'm the Iron Fist, sworn enemy of the Hand" without any build up in explaining the entire plot of the season. There was that tedious "is he really Danny?" plotline and being trapped in the institute. They also randomly threw in that eagle symbolism which made absolutely no sense at first until they explained it in the final few episodes, by which then it had completely lost it's impact.

IMO they could have cut out the first 3 episodes and included those in flashbacks rather than wasting so much time. Plus the fight choreography was so terrible. The first episode made it look like Danny was just ballet twirling the security guards rather than actual fighting.
